Landscapers are seeking morecordless alternatives to corded and gas-powered outdoor power equipment, andMakita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE. The 18V LXT®Brushless String Trimmer (model XRU04M1) is a cordless trimming solution withzero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance, as well as category-leadingbattery charge time and unmatched breadth-of-line. The XRU04M1 is a kit andincludes two fast-charging 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah batteries and an efficientRapid Optimum Charger.

The XRU04M1 is powered by anefficient Makita BL™ brushless motor, which is engineered for up to 50% longerrun time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life than similarnon-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy tomatch the changing demands of the application for increased power and speedwhen needed. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL™ Brushless motor runs coolerand more efficiently for longer life. It also features Makita ExtremeProtection Technology (XPT™), a protective seal inside the tool engineered forimproved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from keyinternal components.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries havethe fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time workingand less time sitting on the charger.

For improved tool performance andextended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. StarProtection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equippedtool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions duringuse to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Forincreased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® andCompact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicatingStar Protection inside.
