Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding collection of string trimmers, including the 40V Brushless String Trimmer (CRU03Z). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, this string trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers.
The efficient brushless motor delivers power equivalent to a 30cc gas string trimmer. longer run time, more power and speed, and longer tool life. With a 17" cutting swath, the CRU03Z provides increased productivity. The steel drive shaft provides less vibration and longer equipment life.
The CRU03Z utilizes an external battery connection, moving batteries from the unit to a battery backpack (sold separately). A cable connects the unit to the battery backpack. This shift in battery weight from the trimmer to the backpack provides improved balance and longer run time. Paired with the Portable Backpack Power Supply (PDC01, sold separately), users will gain twice the run time for any LXT X2 Product.
It has three speed options (4,000/4,600/6,000 RPM). The Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode automatically shifts speeds to extend run time or add power. The reverse rotation function allows the user to quickly clear trimmer head of entangled grass and weeds.
The String Trimmer 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. It also is IPX4 weather-resistant construction for durability and long life.
Technology
Makita ConnectX is a run-time and power solution for use with ConnectX products, as well as XGT and LXT tools and equipment when used with an adaptor. ConnectX accelerates the transition to battery power with a Backpack Power Supply (PDC1200A01), which packs a high-capacity 1,200Wh battery for all-day work and performance without the hassles of gas or cords. ConnectX is the ultimate in versatility, offering easy compatibility with the premium line of ConnectX equipment including commercial-grade lawn mowers and trimmers, as well as 40V max XGT and 36V (18V X2) LXT products when used with an adaptor. ConnectX is commercial output on demand.
Star Protection Computer Controls
Makita cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controls. STAR is communications Technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a Makita 18V LXT battery with the STAR symbol onto a Makita tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls.
XPT Extreme Protection Technology
When the job takes your Makita tool into harsh conditions, Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides added protection. XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, Makita tools equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
