MAKITA RELEASES 3 NEW MM4 4-STROKE HEDGE TRIMMERS

Efficient 4-stroke engines deliver performance & lower emissions with NO fuel mixing required

La Mirada, CA -- Makita® has expanded its line of 4-stroke engine power equipment with the release of three hedge trimmers that offer commercial-duty performance and lower emissions, with no fuel mixing required. 

More Features, Faster Trimming
Each Makita MM4® 4-Stroke Engine Hedge Trimmer is loaded with features for faster trimming: 
  • 20" 25.4cc MM4® Articulating Hege Trimmer (EN4950H)
    Features an articulating gear case with 13 angle settings for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges (see 1:10 in the video for more)
  • 24" 25.4cc MM4® Double-Sided Hedge Trimmer (EN5950SH)

Quicker Starts, Easy Maintenance
Each Makita 4-stroke hedge trimmer features Makita's Mechanical Automatic Engine Decompression for quicker, easier starts. The oil filling port and drain plug are easily accessible with oil level view window for convenient checking, and the dual stage air filter with large sealing areas is easily replaceable. The Makita 4-stroke engine has a multi-position lubrication system that enables these trimmers to be inclined to any angle for continuous operation. For more on Makita MM4® 4-Stroke Engine Hedge Trimmers, go here. 

Makita MM4® 4-Stroke Engine Power Equipment
Engine seizure due to improper fuel and oil mixing is one of the most common failures of 2-stroke engine power equipment. Makita has a better solution with MM4® 4-Stroke Engine power equipment including backpack and handheld blowers, a mist blower, string trimmers, brush trimmers, hedge trimmers, edgers, telescoping pole pruners and couple-shafted products. For hardscape applications, Makita created the world's first 4-stroke engine power cutter with the 14" EK7651H. These efficient 4-stroke engine solutions go beyond exceptional tool performance, as they require no fuel mixing so users require only one gas can for all of their power equipment. They're engineered to run quieter, idle smoother, have lower emissions, and give users quicker and easier starts.
