Combo Kit - XT287SM1","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMakita XT287SM1 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless 2‑Pc. Combo Kit - XT287SM1\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith zero emissions and lower noise, the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 2-Pc. Combo Kit is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It’s powered by one 18V LXT 4.0Ah Battery, the same battery that powers the full range of solutions in the expanding LXT System. The combo kit includes a blower (XBU03Z) and trimmer (XRU23Z). This blower delivers speeds up to 116 MPH air velocity and a full 459 CFM of air volume. It features a compact and ergonomic design, variable speed trigger, and cruise control lever provides management of power and run time. The string trimmer delivers up to 6,000 RPM and features a variable speed trigger and rapid-load bump-and-feed trimmer head which loads line in seconds with 3 easy steps. The outdoor power equipment features 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 L System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V 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\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBlower with BL Brushless motor delivers up to 459 CFM of air volume and 116 MPH air velocity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBlower features cruise control lever on variable speed trigger for power and run time management.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIn-line fan design on blower provides better tool balance and improved ergonomics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eString Trimmer with BL Brushless Motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eString trimmer features high\/low button for power management.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVariable speed trigger on string trimmer for controlled cutting speed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIncludes rapid load bump \u0026amp; feed trimmer head that loads line in seconds with 3 easy steps: align, feed and twist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFeatures Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eEquipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1u4eh7j\" data-start=\"28\" data-end=\"284\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"30\" data-end=\"66\"\u003eComplete Outdoor Power Solution:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Makita XT287SM1 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 2-Pc.
