Makita DUR193Z 18V Li-ion LXT Line Trimmer – Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

With a built-in battery that gives you over 45 minutes of continuous runtime, this machine has the power to let you do domestic gardening without having to wait to recharge. The additional features and sturdy design make this trimmer marginally heavier at 2.5 Kg. This is still relatively light and the adjustable height, pivoting head and adjustable spool handles make it comfortable to operate. Power There are four red indicator lights on the battery – not the charger – to indicate the state of charge. The fan on the DC18RC charger makes a low hum and battery charge took one and a half hours. We managed 14 minutes run-time on low speed. For more time you can invest in bigger-capacity batteries – although, if you have yourself a collection of Makita tools, then you can just swap out the battery as you go, too. There are many practical features on the Makita DUR181Z. The option to use a range of batteries (interchangeable with other Makita products) is a useful benefit. The spool end has metal reinforcement to make this often vulnerable area more durable. It uses a bump feed that works effectively. The battery warning lamp is another practical feature that will give you advance warning when charging is needed. The head position can be adjusted and has a range of 5 positions for precision trimming and edging with reduced effort. Weight

This will depend on which of the batteries you elect to use but they are all relatively fast to charge. The 3.0Ah Lithium-ion battery will charge in an hour. String type The Makita DUR181Z is an 18V trimmer. It works off a range of batteries – 1.5, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0Ah Lithium-ion batteries. The 3.0 battery, for example, will give you a good run time of 45 minutes. This makes the trimmer highly versatile. Charge time Special event, club or membership offers, third party promotions or prices not available to the general publicThe main shaft has an adjustment range of 180mm for comfortable height adjustment and the strimming head has a 5 position pivoting head for perfect working posture. The single line head is bump feed and features a metal bump head for longer life and is easy to rewind with new trimmer cord. The on-off switch has a safety button to prevent accidental operation and a light to indicate low and empty battery status. The Makita DUR193Z 18v LXT Cordless Line Trimmer is part of the LXT family of tools, compatible with all 18v LXT batteries and features a 260mm diameter cutting head. It is lightweight (2.6kg) and well balanced with the battery situated under the main handle so it is not part of the pendulum swing and therefore reduces user fatigue.

While slightly more expensive than other 18V cordless grass trimmers, the Makita DUR181Z 18V cordless trimmer has a few unique features that make it a good investment. It allows for a wide range of batteries that will give you multiple run time options. They are interchangeable with other compatible Makita power, home and garden tools. Key Features This whipper snipper has a cutting width of up to 260mm, making for a versatile garden tool that performs well in a variety of situations.

For Further Information The air volume is far less than the other blowers in the trial and really shows in the Makita 183Z’s ability to shift leaves. On full power, the blower easily lifted damp leaves over a 4-inch kerb on my drive, but it took a slow five minutes to clear them off 40 square metres of grass. As a result of the low volume of air, it takes longer for the Makita DUB183Z to do its work, but it’s still quite a powerful compact machine. Why buy the Makita DUB183Z?When you switch on the leaf blower the sound resembles a hairdryer, and even on the top setting it only reaches “crazy hairdryer” in volume. This helps if you don’t want to annoy close neighbours.

The Makita DUR181Z has a straight shaft, letting you complete all kinds of gardening tasks with ease. position pivoting head enables the user to adjust the cutting angle, allowing for trimming in tight spaces

The machine was easy to use according to reviewers, who said it was great for small to medium sized gardening jobs.I have a 5amp battery and using that I've only ever used about 1 bar of the battery, or about 20 minutes of use. The provided 1.5amp battery would be largely useless for any prolonged use. So, if you are thinking of getting this, get a larger capacity battery.
