Makita is expanding the line of cordless outdoor power equipment, and the system includes the 36V (18V X2) LXT® 21” Lawn Mower Kit (XML10CT1). With zero emissions, lower noise and reduced maintenance, the Mower is a welcome solution for efficient grass cutting. It has an efficient 36V brushless motor powered by two 18V LXT batteries, and the battery bay will hold four LXT batteries for extended run time (up to 40 minutes of run time on a single charge using four LXT 4.0Ah batteries). The Makita-built motor delivers up to 3,000 RPM. The mower offers ease-of-use features including quick height adjustments, a 2 bushel capacity grass collector, and folding handles for compact storage. For added versatility it has a 3-in-1 design that allows for mulching, bagging or rear discharge. The Lawn Mower features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™). XPT™ is a protective seal inside the tool, and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It also features IPX4 weather-resistant construction for durability and long life. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
