With zero emissions, lower noise and reduced maintenance, the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless Residential Lawn Mower is a welcome solution for efficient grass cutting. It’s powered by two 18V LXT Batteries (sold separately). The 4-bay battery system holds 4 batteries for twice the run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. The Makita-built motor delivers up to 3,600 RPM for faster cutting. The compact 18” deck is ideal for detailed landscaping and the 17” cutting width provides optimal performance. The mower has a single lever that quickly adjusts the cutting height (13\/16” – 3”). A soft start provides smooth start-ups and longer gear life. Other features include ball bearings for a smoother drive, rubberized soft grip handle for comfort. 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’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 LXT Lithium-Ion 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 Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo gas, emissions, oil mixing or pull starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful motor delivers 3,600 RPM for faster cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic plastic deck weighs less for reduced required push force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 18\" deck ideal for detailed landscaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1esem15\" data-start=\"364\" data-end=\"469\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"395\"\u003e18V LXT cordless platform\u003c\/strong\u003e provides convenient, emission-free mowing with no gas or oil maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1doc1bh\" data-start=\"470\" data-end=\"561\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"492\"\u003e17\" cutting deck\u003c\/strong\u003e offers excellent maneuverability for smaller lawns and tight spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14086jj\" data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"660\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"594\"\u003eBrushless motor technology\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers efficient power, longer runtime, and extended tool life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1c6gtgi\" data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"747\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"691\"\u003e3-in-1 mowing capability\u003c\/strong\u003e supports mulching, bagging, and side discharge options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ut85qp\" data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"848\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"789\"\u003eMultiple cutting height adjustments\u003c\/strong\u003e provide flexibility for different grass types and seasons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"4sy6tu\" data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"942\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"870\"\u003eQuiet operation\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it ideal for residential neighborhoods and noise-sensitive areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7ojmcu\" data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"976\"\u003eCompact, lightweight design\u003c\/strong\u003e improves storage and handling convenience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xhcdwm\" data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003eDurable construction\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for reliable seasonal use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"a4cc7\" data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1181\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1105\"\u003eBare tool design\u003c\/strong\u003e is perfect for users who already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eQ\u0026amp;A\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"332\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"44\"\u003eQ: What is the Makita XML05Z lawn mower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"44\" data-end=\"47\"\u003eA: The Makita XML05Z is a 36V (18V X2) LXT® 17-inch cordless residential lawn mower designed for efficient grass cutting with zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance.
