Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the tool, ensure you have a standard Makita 18V LXT battery charged and ready. Simply slide the battery into the port until it clicks. The unit utilizes a tool-less shaft lock system, which makes changing the trimmer head quick and efficient. For care, always remove the battery before inspecting the head for debris. Regularly clear grass clippings from the ventilation ports to prevent the motor from overheating. Ensure you do not attempt to use Makita G-Series batteries, as they are not compatible with this professional LXT-series tool.
