Makita 18-Volt x 2 (36-Volt) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head W/String Trimmer Attachment (Tool Only)

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE that includes the 18-Volt X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36-Volt) Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head. With zero emissions, lower noise and maximum versatility, the Power Head is a welcome solution for a range of trimming and cutting applications. It's powered by two 18-Volt LXT batteries (sold separately) for maximum performance and run time without the hassles of gas and without leaving the 18-Volt battery platform. The Power Head is compatible with a variety of optional couple shaft attachments, with a lever style lock system for quick tool-less installation and replacement. It can be used with multiple attachments for trimming, edging, cultivating and brush cutting (sold separately). Note that kit XUX01ZM5 includes string trimmer attachment. Makita's efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. • BL Brushless motor delivers up to 7,100 RPM for faster cutting • 3-speed options (Low: 4,200 RPM, Medium: 6,000 High: 7,100 RPM) for power management • Compatible with a variety of optional couple shaft attachments for versatility • Lever style lock system allows for quick tool-less installation and replacement of attachments • Electronic torque control turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows down or stops • Reverse (clockwise) rotation system allows operator to quickly clear brush cutter head of entangled grass and weeds • Variable speed trigger switch for controlled cutting speed • Overheat warning system turns on indicator light and is engineered to automatically stop motor • Extreme protection technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions • Equipped with star protection computer controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating • BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life • Compatible with Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion batteries with a star symbol (battery sold separately)
