Description

Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides high power and increased torque. Constant Speed Control minimizes reduction in rotation speed under load. 3-speed options (Low: 3,500 RPM, Medium: 5,300 RPM, High: 6,500 RPM) allows the operator to match speed to application. Direct-drive motor mounted directly on the trimmer head for increased efficiency and improved tool balance BL motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge. BL motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Compatible with Metal blades, Chip saw blades, Plastic blades and Nylon cutting heads (country-specific) 350mm cutting width with nylon cutting head for user convenience BL motor delivers up to 6,500 RPM for faster cutting. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions. Reverse rotation system allows operator to quickly clear trimmer head / blade of entangled grass and weeds. Electric brake for maximum productivity and increased operator safety3-stage dual LED gauge indicates battery charge level. Battery protection circuit protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. Soft start feature for added motor protection Smaller guard for better visibility.
