Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance
Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) turns the motor off if blade rotation is suddenly forced to stop
Delivers up to 125 min. of run time under load on the low speed setting using two BL1860B batteries
Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides high power and increased torque
Constant speed control minimizes reduction in rotation speed under load
3-speed options (Low: 3,500 RPM, Medium: 5,300 RPM, High: 6,500 RPM) allows the operator to match speed to application
Direct-drive motor mounted directly on the trimmer head for increased efficiency and improved tool balance
BL motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for longer run time per charge
BL motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
Compatible with Metal blades, Chip saw blades, Plastic blades and Nylon cutting heads (country-specific)
350 mm cutting width with nylon cutting head for user convenience
Lightweight for reduced operator fatigue
BL motor delivers up to 6,500 RPM for faster cutting
Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions
Reverse rotation system allows operator to quickly clear trimmer head / blade of entangled grass and weeds
Electric brake for maximum productivity and increased operator safety
3-stage dual LED gauge indicates battery charge level
Battery protection circuit protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating
Soft start feature for added motor protection. Smaller guard for better visibility. Ergonomically designed off-set bike handle with soft grip for operators comfort. New nylon cord features more sharpness, about 10% less noise, and about 15% less power consumption. Nylon cords are automatically fed out by tapping the cutting head on the ground. Aluminum motor housing engineered for improved durability. Two stage safety trigger switch with electronic power on / off button. Multifunctional control panel for operating main / 3-speed control / reversing switches. On-tool hex wrench for fast and easy blade changes and keeping it from lost. Battery guard for enhanced battery protection. Low noise level suitable for use in residential areas and public spaces. Zero emissions and reduced maintenance; no need for gas or oil. Two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries deliver the power and run time for gas powered demands without leaving the 18V LXT platform. Instant start-up; simply load two 18V LXT batteries and the grass trimmer is ready to use. The best choices for use in resorts, public places and residential areas
