Description

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gaspowered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE that includes the 18V X2 LXT LithiumIon (36V) Brushless Blower. With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18V X2 (36V) Cordless Blower is a welcome solution for cleanup applications. Its powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. With the efficient Makita BL brushless motor, the blower delivers longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. Model XBU02PT is a kit and includes the Blower, two fastcharging 18V LXT LithiumIon 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. Makitas efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar nonbrushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. When powered by two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, the efficient brushless motor delivers up to 28 minutes of runtime on dial setting #3 on a single charge. The XBU02PT features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool, and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. Its part of Makitas expanding 18V LithiumIon system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18V LithiumIon slidestyle batteries. Makita 18V LithiumIon batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protectionequipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact LithiumIon batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
