Makita GUX01JM1X1 Overview
XGT® outdoor power tools offer gas - like performance that professional landscapers love. The 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head Kit with a 17 - inch string trimmer attachment (GUX01JM1X1) packs the power of a 30cc gas string trimmer. It's a zero - emission, low - noise option with great versatility, ideal for heavy - load trimming and cutting tasks. This power head works with various optional couple shaft attachments. It has a lever - style lock for easy, tool - free installation and replacement. You can use it with different attachments for trimming, edging, cultivating, and brush cutting (sold separately). The variable speed trigger gives you three speed choices (4,200, 6,000, and 7,100 RPM), letting you adjust power and speed according to the job. For tough job sites, it has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance and an IPX4 - rated weather - resistant build. XGT is a complete system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers using 40v max lithium - ion batteries. It's designed for high - power performance, enabling a full transition to a cordless job site. With advanced brushless motor tech, smart digital communication, and high durability, it outperforms the competition.
Using the Makita GUX01JM1X1 is easy. First, make sure the 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level on the charger's digital display. Once charged, insert the battery into the power head. The battery has rigid rails that fit securely into the tool. To attach the 17 - inch string trimmer or other optional attachments, use the lever - style lock. It's a tool - free process, so you can quickly swap attachments for different jobs. When using the power head, use the variable speed trigger. You have three speed options: low (4,200 RPM), medium (6,000 RPM), and high (7,100 RPM). Choose the speed based on the task at hand. If grass or weeds get entangled in the trimmer head, use the reverse rotation system to clear them. As for maintenance, keep the power head clean. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) and IPX4 - rated weather - resistant construction, it can handle some dust and water, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down after use. When not in use, store the battery in a cool, dry place. And remember, the XGT® Rapid Charger can fully charge the 4.0Ah battery in 45 minutes or less, so always keep it charged for your next job.
