It’s powered by one 18V LXT battery (sold separately), the same battery that powers the full range of solutions in the expanding LXT system. This blower features a compact and ergonomic design, weighing in at only 6.5 lbs. and measuring 32-1\/2” long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith no carbon brushes, the Makita® BL™ Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life, and delivers speeds up to 116 MPH air velocity and a full 459 CFM. Makita’s efficient BL™ Brushless Motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. A cruise control lever provides management of power and run time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XBU03Z 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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® and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakita-built Brushless Motor delivers up to 459 CFM and 116 MPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0-100% cruise control lever with variable speed trigger for power and run time management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed lock for convenient continuous operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-line fan design provides better tool balance and improved ergonomics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design weighing only 6.5 lbs. with battery (battery not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConveniently located hole on housing bottom to hang blower for easy storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound pressure rating of 60 dB(A); measured per ANSI B 175.2 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) which is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly use genuine Makita batteries and chargers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
