2022 Makita Outdoor Power Equipment - String Trimmers XRU15Z

Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line-up of cordless OPE, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer, Tool Only (model XRU15Z). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, the 36V (18V X2) LXT® String Trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It's powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT Batteries (sold separately) for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. In addition, the string trimmer rotates in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers, and uses industry standard spindles (M10x1.25 LH) for added convenience.

Features may include:

• Up to 1-1/2 hours of run time with 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries (batteries not included)

• Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides high power and increased torque

• Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode automatically shifts from 3,500-6,500 RPM for extended run time or added power

• 3 speed options (Low: 3,500 RPM, Medium: 5,300 RPM, High: 6,500 RPM) for power management

• 15"" cutting swath for increased productivity
