With zero emissions, lower noise and maximum versatility, the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head (XUX02Z, tool only) is a welcome solution for a range of trimming and cutting applications. Its powered by the Makita 18V LXT Battery (sold separately) for maximum performance and run time without the hassles of gas and without leaving the 18V battery platform.The Power Head features a lever-style lock system for quick tool-less installation and replacement of attachments. It is compatible with a variety of attachments for trimming, edging, cultivating, and brush cutting (sold separately).The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 9,700 RPM. The motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. The brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life and electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed.Added features include a variable speed trigger, and reverse (clockwise) rotation system that allows the operator to quickly clear the brush cutter head of entangled weed and grass.It features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tools operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.Its part of Makitas expanding 18V LXT System, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 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 Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
