The Makita GRU05PM 80V max (40V max X2) XGT® Brushless Brush Cutter is a powerful and efficient tool. It offers the power similar to a 40cc brush cutter, but with significant advantages. It runs quietly, requires less maintenance, produces zero emissions, and has no pull - starts. Also, it's lighter than comparable gas - powered models. With two 40V XGT® 4.0Ah batteries, it can operate for up to 100 minutes. The bike - handle design provides a better grip and a more comfortable working position. It comes with a 10 - inch steel four - tooth blade, perfect for cutting grasses, shrubs, and underwood. The cutter has a variable - speed trigger and three speed settings (Low: 0 - 3,500 RPM, Medium: 0 - 5,000 RPM, High: 0 - 6,400 RPM) for effective power and run - time management. The Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode can automatically adjust the RPM from 3,500 to 6,400 for longer run - time or extra power. The reverse function quickly clears the trimmer head of entangled plants. The steel drive shaft reduces vibration. It features IPX4 weather - resistant construction and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance. The XGT® system uses 40V max lithium - ion batteries, delivering high power for high - demand jobs. It has an advanced brushless motor, intelligent digital communication, and excellent durability. The kit includes one 80V max (40V max X2) XGT® Brushless Brush Cutter (GRU05Z), two 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah Batteries (BL4040), and one 40V max XGT® Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger (DC40RB).
Using the Makita GRU05PM brush cutter is straightforward. First, make sure the batteries are fully charged and properly installed. Hold the cutter using the bike - handle design for a good grip. You can adjust the cutting speed using the variable - speed trigger and choose from the three speed settings according to the task at hand. For longer run - time or more power, activate the Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode. If grass or weeds get stuck in the trimmer head, use the reverse function to clear them quickly. When it comes to safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like gloves, goggles, and sturdy shoes. Don't operate the cutter in wet conditions if possible, although it has IPX4 weather - resistant construction. For maintenance, keep the cutter clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris, especially around the motor and the blade. Check the blade regularly for sharpness and replace it if it's dull. Store the cutter in a dry place, and charge the batteries periodically even if you're not using the tool for a while.
