Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives togas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expandingline-up of cordless OPE, including the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless StringTrimmer (model XRU11Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). Withzero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 18V X2cordless string trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It’s compatiblewith Makita’s fast-charging 18V LXT® batteries, and features an efficientMakita BL™ brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, andlonger tool life.

The efficient brushless motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM forfaster cutting. The XRU11Z is equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology,which automatically shifts from 4,000-6,000 RPM depending on the density of theapplication. There are three speed options (4,000/5,000/6,000 RPM), allowingusers to match the speed to the application. On the high setting, users willget up to 40 minutes under load while using an 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery (soldseparately). Additional features include a full 11-3/4” cutting swath, aneasy-loading bump-and-feed trimmer head, and reverse rotation that allows usersto quickly clear the head of entangled grass and weeds. The XRU11Z acceptsindustry standard M8x1.25 LH spindles.

The XRU11Z features Makita Extreme Protection Technology(XPT™). XPT™ is a protective seal inside the tool, and is engineered forimproved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from keyinternal components.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, theworld’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-stylebatteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times intheir categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on thecharger.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life,Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection iscommunication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool andbattery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use toprotect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increasedversatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and CompactLithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating StarProtection inside.
