The blower features a Makita-built BL™ brushless motor, effectively delivering up to 120 MPH and up to 473 CFM of speed. This brushless motor can be controlled electronically in order to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge. The motor also runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. For increased power and speed, the blower’s battery matches the changing demands of applications. A cruise control lever controls the blower’s power and run time, and users can lock the power switch for continuous operation. The ergonomic and lightweight blower has a long nozzle with 3-stage telescoping action for added operator convenience and comfort. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) provides a protective seal inside the tool, thereby enhancing operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. The 18 Volt battery assures the fastest charge time, ensuring users experience less downtime. This blower features Star Protection Computer Controls™ communication technology, which facilitates tools and batteries to exchange data in real-time. The Star Protection technology also monitors conditions while in use to safeguard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Users can convert this blower to a vacuum/mulcher by attaching a vacuum attachment kit.
