Product Detail
Landscapers are increasingly looking for cordless alternatives to gas - powered outdoor tools. Makita steps up with an extended range of blowers, like the 40V ConnectX™ Brushless Backpack Blower (CBU04Z). This blower is a game - changer with zero emissions, less noise, and far less maintenance than gas models. It's perfect for landscapers planning to switch to battery - powered equipment. The Makita - built brushless motor packs the power of a 64cc backpack blower and a strong 24 - Newton blowing force to clear heavy debris. It has a tube - mounted variable speed trigger that can be adjusted from 0 to 696 CFM, allowing you to manage power and runtime. The cruise control lever on the variable speed trigger makes continuous operation a breeze. It has a sound pressure rating of 62 dB(A) as per the ANSI B 175.2 standard. The nozzle has a downward tip to reduce arm tiredness and provides a powerful airflow. The telescoping long nozzle can be adjusted for different user heights and tasks. The in - line fan design offers better tool balance and comfort. With the ConnectX™ 1,500Wh Portable Backpack Power Supply (model PDC1500, sold separately), the CBU04 can run for up to two hours. There's a power button on the control handle, so you can start the blower while wearing it. The control handle can be adjusted without tools, and it has a rubberized soft grip for added comfort. The adjustable ergonomic harness with a waist belt ensures operator comfort. There's also an integrated carry handle for easy transport and storage, and a durable housing that lets the blower stand upright. This blower has IPX4 weather - resistant construction and exclusive Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™). XPT seals the tool internally and channels water and dust away from important parts, ensuring good performance in tough conditions. Included in the package are a blower, a DC4001 AC power supply and charger (PDC1200), a PDC1500 40V max ConnectX 1,500Wh portable power supply (battery only), a GRU01M1 40V max XGT 15' string trimmer kit (4.0Ah), a standard nozzle (413Y04 - 7), a concentrator nozzle (1914H0 - 2), and a flat nozzle (1914H1 - 0).
Using your Makita 40V Max CBU04Z Blower is easy. First, make sure the battery is properly installed and charged. You can start the blower by pressing the power button on the control handle while wearing the backpack. Adjust the speed using the tube - mounted variable speed trigger according to the amount of debris and the area you're cleaning. The cruise control lever can be used for continuous operation. When using the different nozzles, choose the one that suits your task. The downward - tipped nozzle is great for reducing arm fatigue. For maintenance, keep the blower clean after each use. Wipe it down to remove any dirt or debris. Check the battery regularly and charge it as needed. If you're using the blower in wet or dusty conditions, the IPX4 weather - resistant construction and XPT™ technology will protect it, but still, try to avoid extreme environments as much as possible. Store the blower in a dry place using the integrated carry handle for hanging. Make sure to follow the safety instructions in the user manual at all times.
