Makita XRU13Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Curved Shaft String Trimmer (Tool-Only)

Makita XRU13Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Curved Shaft String Trimmer (Tool-Only)

Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding system of cordless OPE, including the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Curved Shaft String Trimmer (model XRU13Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, this cordless string trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. Its compatible with Makita’s fast-charging 18-Volt LXT batteries, and features an efficient Makita BL brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The efficient brushless motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM for faster cutting. The XRU13Z is equipped with Automatic Speed Change technology which automatically shifts from 4,000-6,000 RPM adjusting the speed and torque depending on density of application. There are also 3 speed options in manual mode (4,000/5,000/6,000 RPM), allowing users to match the speed to the application. Users will get up to 38-minutes of run time on high setting and 103-minutes on low setting under load using an 18-Volt LXT 5.0Ah battery (sold separately). Additional features include a full 11-3/4 cutting swath, an easy-loading bump-and-feed trimmer head, and reverse rotation that allows users to quickly clear the head of entangled grass and weeds. The trimmer accepts industry standard M8x1.25 LH spindles.
