Makita XRU13Z Description
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 18V 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. It’s compatible with Makita's fast-charging 18V 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 three 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 18V LXT 5.0 Ah battery (sold separately). Additional features include a full 11-3/4 In. 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. The XRU13Z also features a telescoping curved shaft that adjusts from 59-1/2 In. to 63-1/2 In. in length for convenient operation in tight spaces. The XRU13Z 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.
