Makita Outdoor Power Equipment: Blowers, Trimmers, and Chain Saws
Makita outdoor power equipment is mostly battery powered. Single-battery 18V LXT tools include the XBU03Z and XBU05Z blowers, the XHU02Z hedge trimmer, the XCU06Z top handle chain saw, and the XAU03Z articulating pole saw. 18V X2 (36V) LXT models use two packs for chain saws, string trimmers, and the XUX01Z couple shaft power head, which takes edger and trimmer attachments. There is also the 40V max XGT GBU01M1 blower kit and the gas BHX2500CA 4-stroke blower. Nozzles, trimmer line, trimmer heads, and mower blades are listed here too.
What to Look For
- One battery or two. 18V X2 tools run on a pair of LXT packs for heavier cutting and longer run time.
- Couple shaft system. One XUX01Z power head can run a string trimmer and an edger attachment.
- Kit or tool only. Kits with four 5.0Ah batteries suit owners new to LXT. Tool-only fits existing packs.
- Gas option. The BHX2500CA suits properties where charging is not practical.

Makita Outdoor Power Equipment FAQ
Can I use my drill batteries in Makita yard tools?
Yes, if they are 18V LXT packs. Single-battery tools take one, and 18V X2 tools take two at once. The XGT blower needs 40V max XGT batteries instead.
What warranty covers Makita outdoor power equipment?
Lithium-ion cordless tools, batteries, and chargers carry Makita's 3-year limited warranty. Gas equipment falls under the 1-year limited warranty for most other Makita products. Accessories such as trimmer line, chain, and blades are excluded.
