The Makita XUX02SM1X3 18V LXT Brushless Couple Shaft Power Head Kit is a game - changer for all your trimming and cutting needs. This kit offers zero emissions and lower noise, making it an eco - friendly and quiet option. Powered by an 18V LXT 4.0Ah Battery, it provides top - notch performance and long run - time, all without the headaches of gas and staying within the 18V battery platform. The power head has a convenient lever - style lock system. You can quickly install or replace attachments without using any tools. Included in the kit is a 13 - inch string trimmer attachment, and it's also compatible with various other attachments for trimming, edging, cultivating, and brush cutting (sold separately). The Makita - built brushless motor can reach up to 7,000 RPM when used with the 13 - inch string trimmer attachment. The string trimmer attachment comes with a rapid - loading bump - and - feed trimmer head. In just three easy steps - align, feed, and twist - you can load the line in seconds. The blower attachment features an in - line fan design. This design not only gives better tool balance but also improves ergonomics. There's also a variable speed trigger for more control. It has Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool that channels water and dust away from key internal components, enhancing its performance in tough conditions. It's part of Makita's large 18V LXT System, the world's biggest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries charge very fast, so they spend more time working and less time on the charger. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls are there to protect the tool and battery. This communication technology allows real - time data exchange between the tool and battery, monitoring conditions during use to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. Tools can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries with the star symbol, which means they have Star Protection inside. The kit includes an 18V LXT Brushless Power Head (XUX02Z), a 13 - inch String Trimmer Couple Shaft Attachment (EM409MP), a Blower Couple Shaft Attachment (UB401MP), an 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Battery (BL1840B), and an 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Charger (DC18SD).
Using the Makita XUX02SM1X3 is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Battery using the included charger. Once charged, insert the battery into the power head. To attach the string trimmer or blower, use the lever - style lock system on the power head. It doesn't require any tools. When using the string trimmer, adjust the speed using the high/low speed button and the variable speed trigger for more precise control. Loading the line in the 13 - inch string trimmer attachment is a breeze. Just follow the three steps: align, feed, and twist. For the blower, the in - line fan design gives good balance, and you can adjust the speed with the variable speed trigger. When you're done using the tool, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep the tool clean. Wipe it down after each use to prevent dust and debris from building up. Since it has XPT technology, it can handle some water and dust, but avoid using it in extremely wet or dusty conditions. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to protect the tool with Star Protection Computer Controls. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, contact Makita support.
