Navigating the world of outdoor power tools? Landscapers are on the hunt for great cordless options to replace gas - powered equipment. Makita steps up with its awesome 36V Brushless Blower, the CBU01Z. This blower is a game - changer! It has zero emissions, makes less noise, and needs way less maintenance than gas blowers. The CBU01Z uses an external battery connection. You can move the batteries from the unit to a battery backpack (sold separately) via a cable. This not only improves the balance of the blower but also gives you a longer run - time. Pair it with the LXT and LXT X2 Portable Backpack Power Supply (PDC01, sold separately), and you'll double the run - time for any LXT X2 product. The Makita - built brushless motor is super efficient, delivering up to 80% more blowing force than a gas blower (Makita model BHX2500CA). The turbo boost mode pumps out 622 CFM for heavy debris. There's also a cruise control lever with a variable speed trigger that lets you adjust between 0 - 530 CFM for better power and run - time management. The speed lock offers convenient, continuous operation. The nozzle has a downward end point to reduce arm fatigue and provide a powerful air flow. It can telescope to 3 stages. The in - line fan design gives better tool balance and improved ergonomics. The blower is IPX4 weather - resistant and comes with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™). XPT channels water and dust away from key internal components, ensuring great performance in harsh conditions. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life. This communication technology allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real - time, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. For added versatility, you can power the tool with Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Batteries with the star symbol indicating Star Protection inside. The blower also features a rubberized soft grip for comfort, a hole on the housing bottom for easy storage, and comes with a 3 - year limited warranty.
Using the Makita 36V Brushless Blower CBU01Z is a breeze. First, connect the unit to the battery backpack (sold separately) using the cable. Make sure the connection is secure. When you're ready to start, hold the blower with the rubberized soft grip for comfort. Use the variable speed trigger on the cruise control lever to adjust the air volume according to your needs. For heavy debris, switch to turbo boost mode. The speed lock can be used for continuous operation without having to hold the trigger all the time. When using the blower, be aware of your surroundings. The downward - pointed nozzle is designed to reduce arm fatigue, so keep it in a comfortable position. For maintenance, after each use, wipe down the blower to remove any dust or debris. Since it has IPX4 weather - resistant construction, it can handle some moisture, but don't submerge it in water. The XPT™ technology helps protect the internal components from dust and water, but try to avoid using it in extremely wet or dusty conditions. Also, follow the guidelines for charging and storing the batteries to ensure a long battery life. If you have any issues, refer to the 3 - year limited warranty.
