Makita introduced the new 40V max XGT 18-Inch Dual Rotation, High Torque String Trimmer (GRU07) and 40V max XGT Brush Cutter (GRU06) to its lineup.
40V max XGT 18-Inch Dual Rotation, High Torque String Trimmer (GRU07)
The 40V max XGT 18-Inch Dual Rotation, High Torque String Trimmer (GRU07) is engineered to provide the power equivalent to a 35-cc string trimmer, but with lower noise, less maintenance, zero emissions, and no pull starts. The GRU07 features a dual rotation feature that rotates the trimmer head clockwise or counterclockwise for less grass on sidewalks.
It features high torque gear ratios and a cruise control lever with a variable speed trigger for controlled cutting speed and a high torque boost mode for cutting dense material. The GRU07 features a steel-drive shaft for less vibration and longer equipment life. The string trimmer features a rapid load bump & feed trimmer head line loads in seconds with three easy steps: align, feed and twist. Convenience features include a high visibility string trimmer guard for improved cutting visibility, an adjustable loop handle for operator comfort and a 5-inch high capacity trimmer head preloaded with a .105-inch trimmer line.
40V max XGT Brush Cutter (GRU06)
The 40V max XGT Brush Cutter (GRU06) is engineered to provide the power equivalent to a 35-cc gas brush cutter, but with lower noise, less maintenance, zero emissions, and no pull starts. It also has lower weight than a comparable gas-powered brush cutter.
The GRU06 has a bike-handle design for improved grip and a more ergonomic working position and includes a 10-inch steel four-tooth brush cutter blade for cutting grasses, shrubs and underwood. The brush cutter can also accept a trimmer head with an 18-inch cutting swath for increased productivity (trimmer head not included). It has a cruise control lever with a variable speed trigger for controlled cutting speed and features a reverse function that quickly clears the trimmer head of entangled grass and weeds. The steel drive shaft is engineered for reduced vibration and longer life. For added durability, it features IPX4 weather-resistant construction, and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) engineered for improved dust and water resistance.
Convenience features include a wide brush cutter debris shield designed for use with nylon trimmer heads or metal brush cutter blades and a high torque boost mode for cutting dense material.
