With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18 V LXT® brushless cordless blower is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It's powered by one 18 V LXT battery the same battery that powers the full range of solutions in the expanding LXT system. This blower features a compact and ergonomic design, weighing in at only 6.5 lb and measuring 32-1/2 in long. With no carbon brushes, the Makita® BL™ brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life and delivers speeds up to 116 mph air velocity and a full 459 cfm. Makita’s efficient BL™ brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. A cruise control lever provides management of power and run time. The XBU03Z features Makita Extreme Protection Technology. 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. 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 18 V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
