Presenting the CRU03Z Makita 40V max ConnectX™ Brushless String Trimmer, a tool only device, designed to fulfill the growing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. With zero emissions, reduced noise, and significantly less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, this tool is an ideal solution for professional landscapers.

The efficient brushless motor, equivalent to a 30cc gas string trimmer, provides longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. Featuring a 17” cutting swath and a steel drive shaft for reduced vibration, the CRU03Z ensures increased productivity and extended equipment longevity.

The CRU03Z Makita 40V max ConnectX™ Brushless String Trimmer features an external battery connection, shifting the weight from the unit to a battery backpack (sold separately) for improved balance and enhanced run time. When coupled with the Portable Backpack Power Supply (PDC01, sold separately), you can double the run time of any LXT X2 Product.

Equipped with three speed options (4,000/4,600/6,000 RPM), the Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode automatically shifts speeds to either extend run time or boost power. A unique reverse rotation function quickly clears the trimmer head of entangled grass and weeds.

The CRU03Z Makita 40V max ConnectX™ Brushless String Trimmer also benefits from Makita® Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a protective seal inside the tool designed to improve operation in harsh conditions by deflecting water and dust from key internal components. Its IPX4 weather-resistant construction ensures durability and long life.

The CRU03Z Makita 40V max ConnectX™ Brushless String Trimmer boasts a higher capacity, delivering 1,200 Watt Hours of Output with PDC1200A01. Ideal for all-day work, expected run times with PDC1200A01 may vary by product, application, and workload.

The CRU03Z Makita 40V max ConnectX™ Brushless String Trimmer features ultimate compatibility, powered by any Makita portable backpack power supply. The durable design is IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction, making it robust and long-lasting. It comes with Makita’s Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The product carries a 3-year limited warranty.
