Landscapers are constantly seeking cordless alternatives to gas - powered outdoor tools. Makita steps up with its growing line of blowers, like the 40V ConnectX™ Brushless Backpack Blower (CBU02). This blower is a game - changer. It produces zero emissions, makes less noise, and requires far less maintenance than gas models. Powered by a Makita - built brushless motor, it packs the same punch as a 64cc backpack blower. With a high blowing force of 22 Newtons, it can easily tackle heavy debris. The tube - mounted variable speed trigger lets you adjust the airflow from 0 - 671 CFM, helping you 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 60 dB(A) as per the ANSI B 175.2 standard. The nozzle is designed with a downward endpoint to reduce arm fatigue and offers powerful airflow. It can be telescoped into 3 stages. The in - line fan design improves tool balance and ergonomics. When paired with the ConnectX™ 1,200Wh Portable Backpack Power Supply (model PDC1200A01, sold separately), the CBU02 can run for over 4 hours. Convenience features abound. 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. The rubberized soft grip on the handle adds comfort during work. The adjustable ergonomic harness with a waist belt ensures operator comfort. It also has an integrated carry handle for easy transport and storage, and a durable housing with a base that allows the blower to stand upright. The blower is built with IPX4 weather - resistant construction and exclusive Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which channels water and dust away from key internal components, making it ideal for harsh conditions. Included in the package is a 3 - stage telescoping blower nozzle (CBU02, 413G70 - 6).
Using your Makita 40V Max ConnectX Brushless Backpack Blower is easy. First, make sure you have the ConnectX™ Portable Backpack Power Supply properly attached (sold separately). Put on the backpack using the adjustable ergonomic harness and waist belt for comfort. Press the power button on the control handle to start the blower. You can adjust the speed using the tube - mounted variable speed trigger according to the task at hand. If you need continuous operation, use the cruise control lever. When using the blower, keep in mind that it has a high blowing force of 22 Newtons, so be careful around delicate objects. The nozzle can be telescoped to 3 stages, adjust it to suit your height and the application. After use, turn off the blower and remove the power supply. Store the blower in a dry place using the integrated carry handle for hanging. To maintain your blower, clean the nozzle and the housing regularly. Check for any signs of wear and tear on the control handle and the harness. Since the blower has IPX4 weather - resistant construction and XPT™ technology, it can handle some moisture and dust, but avoid submerging it in water. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure optimal performance and safety. The blower comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you encounter any issues, contact Makita's customer service.
