Landscapers want additional cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power tools. Makita's increasing line of cordless OPE includes the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless String Trimmer, Tool Only (model XRU15Z). The 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless String Trimmer is a welcome alternative for landscapers, with fewer emissions, lower noise, and far less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers. It is powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT Batteries (available separately) for maximum power and run time while remaining on the 18V battery platform. When additional power and speed are required, electronic controllers efficiently employ battery energy to match the changing needs of the application. Furthermore, for extra convenience, the string trimmer revolves in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers and uses industry-standard spindles (M10x1.25 LH). The trimmer has a longer run time, higher power and speed, and a longer tool life thanks to the efficient Makita BL brushless motor. Makita's efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically regulated, allowing for up to 50% more operating time per battery charge than comparable non-brushless tools. The XRU15Z is powered by a Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless Motor with direct drive, which delivers tremendous power and torque. Makita Extreme Protection Technology is included in the String Trimmer (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool that is designed to increase performance in hostile environments by directing water and dust away from vital internal components. It is a component of Makita's 18V LXT System, the world's biggest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries offer the fastest charge speeds in their class, allowing them to spend more time working and less time charging. Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls to increase tool performance and battery life. Star Protection is a communication system that enables the Star Protection-equipped equipment and battery to share data in real-time and monitor operating conditions to safeguard against overloading, overcharging, and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries, with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
