I bought it here: www.toolnut.com/
www.toolnut.com/makita-xmu04z...
The 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Grass Shear with Hedge Trimmer Blade, Tool Only (XMU04ZX), is a compact and cordless solution for grass trimming and cutting. Easily change from grass shear to hedge trimmer for minor hedge trimming.
The XMU04ZX has dual blade action and a wide 6-5/16” cutting width and delivers faster blade speed (2,500 strokes per minute/SPM) than the previous model. When using a fast-charging 18V LXT® 5.0Ah battery (sold separately), users will get up to 200 minutes of run time on a single charge. It has a 3-stage adjustment so the cutting height can be matched to the application.
Additional features include a rubberized soft grip handle, tool-less blade changing, non-electrolyzed nickel-plated blades to resist staining and rusting, and a compact size at only 4.1 lbs. (with battery, sold separately).
It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real-time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
Over 3 hours of run time with 18V LXT® 5.0Ah battery (battery not included)
Makita-built motor delivers up to 2,500 SPM for efficient cutting
2-in-1 quick blade change from grass shear to hedge trimmer
Grass shear features easy to operate 3 stage cutting height adjustment (9/16", 3/4", 1")
6-5/16" shear blade with dual cutting action for maximum efficiency
8" dual action double-sided hedge trimmer blade for precision cutting
Non-electrolyzed nickel plated blades engineered to resist staining and rusting
Ergonomic rubberized soft grip engineered to absorb vibration for more comfortable operation
Compact and maneuverable design
Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating
3-year limited warranty
Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers

Ed, I just bought one of these tools. I struggled to put it together and then watched your video. Thanks so much!! However, you didn't get it quite right. Here's what I figured out after watching your video. First you can pull the cam wheel out easily by turning the tool upside down. The cam wheel just falls out. While the cam wheel is out of the tool, take a close look at it. It is two sided. One side is for the grass trimmer attachment. Flip it over and the other side is the cam wheel for the hedge trimmer attachment. When you use the proper cam wheel for its designated attachment, the locking cover goes on very easily. You struggled to replace the locking cover. You need to flip your cam wheel. Best Regards, Niles

Thank you! That is what I hoped to show here. At the risk of being made fun of. You know I could have read the instructions and edited the video to make myself look like a genius but that wouldn't be real and I will gladly take the bruises to show everyone how it is vs some perfect ego-boosting RU-vid video. Thank you for your comment it helped greatly and I hope my videos somehow help you as well friend.

My friend was using a hedge trimmer and also cut his finger off. It was near a wall and just needed to get this one last little branch. He reached in with his hand and pulled the branch to cut it. The long trimmer hit the wall and bounced at him, cutting one finger really bad. So it something to really think of when you were talking about the size makes it easier to get into those areas.

Wow, thank you! You know this is one of the most hated videos, I get so much flack for not knowing or editing out the parts showing how I didn't know portions of the tool and how to put it together. I thought there was value in showing we are all human and we make mistakes along the way. I am so glad my video helped you and hopefully others out there. That's all I wanted to accomplish. Thank you!! Cheers!

Thanks for the video: what a nightmare those instructions are! As someone else said, you need to flip the cam when changing between blades. It's not obvious from the instructions. Then to align the blade with the cam, just jiggle the blade a bit with your other hand while your pushing the blade on. When I finally got it to work, it cut beautifully some topiary hedging, but Makita needs to up their game with the instructions...

@edtheoldtechguy
@edtheoldtechguy 2 года назад
My wife and I use it and it works well but the blade occasionally sticks. We solve this by pulling the battery off and pushing the inner blade down until they are even and replace the battery and it works well. We love the short blade it allows us to get into places we couldn't before.

Well thanks for the feedback. I am new to RU-vid and learning a lot. RU-vid is designed for longer videos and creators are encouraged to keep videos long. I am still trying to find the perfect balance. If you like short, get to the point videos consider watching RU-vid shorts or go to Tiktok. Many creators are making short videos just for you but please note they may miss some steps as they try to keep things short. Have a good one friend and God bless.

Very next day after buying this piece of Monkey poo I returned it. I returned it to Home Depot and spent $10 more dollars and bought the Makita hedge trimmer and it works like a champ. This one just came off underpowered and it just kept jamming on the smallest of things. You should have just returned this piece of junk and bought the the hedge trimmer with a cover and a good 18" blade. This is by far the 1st product I have truly been disappointed in from Makita making this time consuming piece of junk. I have 7 other Makita tools and love them all.
