Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Couple Shaft Power Head (Tool Only)

Makita is meeting the demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment with its expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT^® Brushless Couple Shaft Power Head. This innovative tool offers zero emissions, lower noise, and maximum versatility for a range of trimming and cutting applications.

The Power Head is powered by two 18V LXT^® batteries (sold separately) for maximum performance and run time without the hassles of gas and without leaving the 18V battery platform. It's compatible with a variety of optional couple shaft attachments, featuring a lever style lock system for quick tool-less installation and replacement.

The Makita 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.

For added protection, the Electronic Torque Control turns the motor off if the rotation speed suddenly slows down or stops, and the overheat warning system turns on an indicator light and is engineered to automatically stop the motor. Additional 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.

The Power Head features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT^™), a protective seal inside the tool engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It's part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries.

Makita 18V 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.
