The Makita XBU07Z 18V LXT Brushless Blower, Vacuum, and Mulcher is a game - changer for clean - up jobs. It offers low noise operation and zero emissions, making it an eco - friendly and quiet choice. This commercial - grade tool can handle tough tasks, just like gas blowers. It's incredibly versatile, easily switching between blower, vacuum, and mulcher modes. The Makita - built brushless motor is a real powerhouse. It can reach speeds up to 143 MPH and deliver up to 148 CFM of blowing power, along with 215 CFM of suction power and a 13 - foot water lift. What's more, it's electronically controlled to use battery energy efficiently. You'll get up to 50% longer run - time per battery charge compared to non - brushless tools. The motor runs cooler and more efficiently, ensuring a longer lifespan. The blower comes with a cruise control lever for easy power and run - time management, and the power switch can be locked on for continuous use. Its durable metal impeller shredding blade can reduce up to 10 bags of leaves into just 1 bag with a 10:1 mulch ratio. With a sound pressure rating of only 62 dB(A) (measured per ANSI B 175.2 standard), it won't disrupt your neighbors. The 6.6 - gallon collection bag can hold a large amount of leaves. The precision suction power helps clean up fallen leaves without disturbing the stones and rocks in plant beds. The removable wheels make it highly maneuverable on different terrains. It also features Makita® Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which channels water and dust away from key internal components, allowing it to work well in harsh conditions. This tool is part of Makita's extensive 18V Lithium - Ion System, the world's largest cordless tool system. Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries charge quickly, so your tool spends more time working and less time on the charger. Included in the package are 1 blower/vacuum mulcher, 1 debris bag, and 1 shoulder strap. Note that batteries and charger are not included.
Using the Makita XBU07Z is easy. First, if you're using it as a blower, attach the appropriate nozzle. Flip the power switch and use the cruise control lever to set your desired speed. For vacuum and mulcher functions, connect the debris bag. Start the tool and guide it over the leaves. The shredding blade will turn the leaves into fine mulch. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, empty the debris bag to prevent blockages. Check the impeller blade for any damage or debris buildup and clean it if necessary. Keep the tool dry and store it in a cool place. When using the tool in wet conditions, thanks to the XPT™ technology, it can handle some moisture, but avoid submerging it. Always use Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries for best performance. Remember, this is a tool - only package, so you'll need to have your own batteries and charger. When not in use, make sure to turn off the power switch to save battery life.
