Landscapers are looking for cordless alternatives to gas - powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita meets this demand with its expanding cordless OPE line, including the 18V X2 (36V) LXT® Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (model XRU15PT). With zero emissions, lower noise, and much less maintenance than gas - powered trimmers, it's a great solution. Powered by two fast - charging 18V LXT Batteries, it offers maximum power and run time without leaving the popular 18V battery platform. Electronic controls use battery energy efficiently to meet the changing needs of the job. The string trimmer rotates counter - clockwise like professional - grade trimmers and uses industry - standard spindles (M10x1.25 LH) for added convenience. The Makita® BL™ brushless motor gives longer run time, more power and speed, and a longer tool life. It's part of the world's largest cordless tool system, the Makita 18V LXT System, powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium - Ion Batteries charge fast, so they're ready to work more often. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ ensure better tool performance and extended battery life by monitoring conditions in real - time. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium - Ion Batteries with Star Protection.
Using this Makita string trimmer kit is easy. First, make sure the batteries are fully charged using the 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Dual Port Charger. Insert the charged batteries into the trimmer. You can choose from three speed options depending on the task at hand. The low speed is great for light trimming, medium for regular jobs, and high for tough overgrowth. When you're done trimming and the trimmer head gets clogged with grass and weeds, use the reverse rotation function to clear it quickly. Adjust the loop handle to a comfortable position for you before starting to work. For maintenance, after each use, clean the trimmer to remove any dirt, grass, or debris. Wipe it down with a dry cloth. If it gets wet during use, let it dry completely before storing. Keep the batteries in a cool, dry place. Don't overcharge the batteries. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ help protect against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating, but it's still important to follow proper charging practices. Also, check the trimmer head regularly to make sure the line is in good condition and replace it if necessary. And remember, this tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, you can reach out to Makita for support.
