Makita UR017GZ - Battery-powered Brush Cutter - 40V - 4Ah

The Makita XGT UR017GZ Brush Cutter stands out as an ideal choice for those who need to carry out mowing work in complex and variable environments, such as uneven terrain, trails, descents or near waterways, roads and cycle paths.

One of the most important aspects of this brush cutter is its carefully studied ergonomics, which allows the operator to use it continuously, easily adapting to different conditions.

Among its prominent functions, we find the "electric brake" and an automatic motor stop system in the event of accidental blockage of the head, both designed to ensure maximum operator safety.

In addition, it is possible to adjust the speed of the engine depending on the type of work to be carried out, further contributing to the safety, comfort and productivity of the user.

From a technical point of view, the BL engine of the brush cutter offers high performance, reaching powers up to 600W at three different speeds.

It is designed for use with wire, having a cutting diameter of 35cm, but also allows the use of metal or plastic blades, depending on the type of vegetation to be treated.

The performance of this machine is comparable to that of a 23cc endothermic engine brush cutter, but with the added benefit of operating in “zero emission” conditions, making it an environmentally sustainable choice.

With this machine, you have the following advantages:

• No power cables needed
• Zero emissions
• Extremely reduced noise level
• Great manoeuvrability and comfort

1 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED

Batteries equipped with quick release: the battery can be easily detached and pulled out from the machine by pressing the quick release button.

Voltage: 40 V
Amperage: 4 Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, no memory effect (it does not have a tendency to run out after many refills) to always have great power.

Handy battery charger included (connection to the home mains as the one of a standard mobile phone).

The batteries are plugged to the battery charger through the quick release, in the same way as it is connected to the machine.

It is also possible to purchase additional batteries for ensuring a long-running time.

So you only need one battery and one charger to be able to use the entire 40V range produced by Makita.

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of the lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, which power gradually decreases, lithium-ion batteries, cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. The same charge for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full power until its complete exhaustion.

LONGER CHARGE LIFE: lithium-Ion batteries last 3–4 times longer than traditional Nickel-Cadmium batteries and their power storage lasts longer so they lose less power. Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: Lithium-ion batteries have the best power-weight rate. They weight 1/3 of nickel-cadmium ones.

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY: Lithium-ion battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they don't fail to provide maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
Few minutes of charge are enough to complete the work.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low loss of charge rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your machine will be ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: lithium-ion batteries chargers allow reducing energy consumption by an average of 35%.

Advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable than a petrol model. No spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, etc. or components which can cause problems.
• Zero maintenance, for the same reasons given before.
• Lighter
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to internal combustion engines (great results with minimal power required). In addition, the Operator won’t have to buy the fuel (that it should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all engine-powered machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work quite unpleasant.
• Zero fumes, zero impact on the environment and, above all, zero repercussions on the Operator’s health.
• Quieter and therefore pleasant to use than an internal combustion engine.

In addition, this brush cutter in particular is equipped with the Active System technology, a security system that instantly stop the rotation of the engine and transmission as soon as it will impact a solid object while using the steel blade. This will help prevent damage to the machine and especially the operator.

A head with retractable plastic blades is also included in the brush cutter

The "Retractable Plastic Blade Brush Cutter Head" is an accessory designed for maximum efficiency and safety.

These blades, made of durable plastic material, retract automatically when not in use, reducing the risk of damage or injury and facilitating the storage of the equipment.

The stone guard also adapts to the steel blade without the need to replace it.

Simply release the lower part of the stone guard to use it with ease and safety.

The transmission shaft of the brush cutter features a diameter of 24 mm and is made of aluminium. This makes it very long-lasting and lightweight at the same time.

Ergonomic handle.

The controls are convenient, simple and intuitive, with 3 electronic speeds.
