Landscapers are increasingly seeking cordless alternatives to gas - powered outdoor tools. Makita steps up to the challenge with its expanding range of string trimmers, including the 18V X2 (36V) LXT® Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (XRU18PT). This cordless trimmer is a game - changer. It produces zero emissions, runs quietly, and requires far less maintenance than gas - powered models. With power equal to a 30cc gas string trimmer, it's a force to be reckoned with. The Makita® BL™ Brushless Motor is highly efficient. It offers longer run times, more power and speed, and extends the tool's lifespan. The 17 - inch cutting swath boosts productivity significantly. The steel drive shaft reduces vibration and ensures a longer equipment life. The trimmer features Makita® Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which seals the tool and diverts water and dust from crucial internal parts, making it perfect for tough conditions. It's part of Makita’s vast 18V LXT® System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Batteries charge quickly, so you can spend more time working. Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and battery life. This communication technology enables real - time data exchange between the tool and battery, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The XRU18PT kit comes with two fast - charging 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. The kit includes (2) 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah Battery (BL1850B), (1) 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Dual Port Charger (DC18RD), (1) Bump & Feed Trimmer Head, and (1) String Trimmer. Its features are outstanding, such as power equivalent to a 30cc gas trimmer, no gas hassles, a high - power BL™ Brushless Motor, a 17 - inch cutting swath, variable speed control, a steel drive shaft, 3 speed options, Automatic Torque Drive Technology, reverse rotation, an adjustable loop handle, XPT™ for dust and water resistance, Star Protection, a bump and feed trimmer head with 0.080 - inch twisted quiet line, and a 3 - year limited warranty.
Using your Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT String Trimmer Kit is easy. First, charge the two 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries fully using the 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. Once charged, insert the battery into the trimmer. Turn on the trimmer using the power switch. You can control the cutting speed with the variable speed trigger switch. There are 3 speed options to choose from based on your needs. When you encounter entangled grass or weeds, use the reverse rotation function to clear the trimmer head. Make sure to adjust the loop handle to a comfortable position for you. For maintenance, keep the trimmer clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris. Since it has XPT™ technology, it can handle some dust and water, but avoid submerging it in water. Check the cutting line regularly and replace it when it's worn out. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ help protect the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. But still, don't overwork the tool for long periods. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact the customer service.
