Equipped with high power brushless motor. High output, durable and maintenance free. Rotational speed wont fall down even when loaded. Cut count: 4,000 per minute for fast and light trimming. About 20% more than conventional Makita machines (As of April 2022, Makita research).
Maximum cutting diameter is 0.7 inches (18 mm) The maximum cutting diameter is the diameter of the branches that can be cut by lightly pressing the blade for a few seconds.
Heavy duty "new" crank mechanism Thick crank for increased contact area. Crank will not fall off during heavy load and reduce wear
Lock off lever prevents accidental malfunctions Lock-on switch prevents finger fatigue during continuous operation and continuous work.
Double layer construction for extra vibration resistance absorbs various vibrations with rubber rings. Comfortable to use.
Low noise You can rest assured even in places where noise is concerned about. [Noise Level(LP):79dB(A)] Conforms to EN62841-4-2 When compared to Makita and existing equipment before noise control. There may be differences in the way you feel the noise depending on the person.
