FAQs
Does this unit come with a battery and charger?
No, this is a body-only tool. Batteries and chargers must be purchased separately.
What kind of batteries does the DUR190U use?
It is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery packs.
Can I use this tool in the rain?
The XPT technology improves dust and water resistance, but the tool is not waterproof and should not be submerged or used in extreme downpours.
How do I switch between the wire head and the plastic blade?
The trimmer features a tool-free shaft lock, allowing you to quickly swap accessories without needing additional wrenches.
What is the purpose of the three-speed settings?
The settings allow you to balance power and battery runtime; low for light trimming, and high for clearing thick weeds.
Troubleshooting
Motor stops abruptly while cutting.
Check if the AFT system has engaged due to a tangle or jam; clear the obstruction and restart the tool.
Trimmer is underpowered or running slowly.
Verify that the speed setting is appropriate for the task and ensure the battery is fully charged.
Line does not advance when tapping.
Check for tangles inside the spool or ensure you have sufficient line remaining.

Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly clear debris from the air vents to keep the motor cool.
- Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth after use; do not use high-pressure water hoses due to sensitive internal electronics.
- Check the cutting line or plastic blades frequently for signs of excessive wear.
- Store the tool in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the XPT water-resistant components.
