Power, speed, and control

The tool features a Makita‑built brushless motor capable of up to 6,000 RPM for faster cuts and consistent performance. The variable speed trigger lets you tailor the cutting speed to light edging or denser growth, while the high/low button helps balance power and battery life for longer sessions without sacrificing results.

• Brushless motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM for rapid cuts
• Up to 1 hour of runtime with an 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery (battery sold separately)

Durability and protection you can rely on

Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) shields internal components from water and dust, helping the trimmer perform in damp grass or dusty landscapes. Star Protection Computer Controls communicates in real time between tool and battery to guard against overloading, overheating, and over‑discharge, potentially extending overall tool life during busy seasons.

Ease of use and quick line loading

The rapid‑load bump‑and‑feed trimmer head makes loading line fast and simple, so you can resume work in just a few steps. A compact, well-balanced design supports precise edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower beds, helping you achieve cleaner, more professional lines with less effort.
