The Makita XBU04Z 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless Blower is a top - notch solution for clean - up tasks. It operates with lower noise and fewer emissions, making it a great choice for both residential and commercial use. The commercial - grade design enables it to handle tough jobs, just like gas blowers. This blower can be easily transformed from a blower to a vacuum/mulcher (vacuum kit and batteries sold separately). The Makita - built BL™ Brushless Motor offers high - performance, reaching speeds up to 120 MPH and an air volume of up to 473 CFM. It's electronically controlled, optimizing battery energy use and providing up to 50% longer run - time per charge compared to non - brushless tools. Electronic controls adjust to the job's demands, increasing power and speed when necessary. The motor runs cooler and more efficiently, ensuring a longer lifespan. A cruise control lever helps manage power and run - time, and the power switch can be locked for continuous operation. The 3 - stage telescoping long nozzle is highly convenient. Its ergonomic and lightweight design offers excellent comfort for the operator. The XBU04Z comes with Makita® Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which channels water and dust away from key components, allowing it to work well in harsh conditions. It's part of Makita's large 18V Lithium - Ion System, with batteries that have fast charge times. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ safeguard the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Star - protected 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries. Included are one Makita XBU04Z blower, one blower nozzle (XBU04, 183R06 - 2), and one 3 - stage telescoping blower nozzle (459798 - 0).
Using the Makita XBU04Z is easy. First, attach the appropriate nozzle for your task. If you need to use it as a blower, just turn it on using the power switch. You can lock the switch for continuous operation or use the cruise control lever to manage power and speed. To convert it to a vacuum/mulcher, you'll need to buy the separate vacuum kit and install it. When using the tool, make sure to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. Keep in mind that the Star Protection technology helps protect the tool and battery, but still avoid overloading it. After each use, clean the tool, especially the nozzle and air intake. If it's used in a dusty or wet environment, the XPT™ technology will help protect it, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down. Store the tool in a dry place. And remember, this tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, you can reach out to Makita.
