Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding collection of blowers, including the 40V ConnectX™ Brushless Backpack Blower (CBU02). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered models, this Backpack Blower is a welcome solution for landscapers. A Makita-built brushless motor delivers the power of a 64cc backpack blower. The Backpack Blower delivers a high blowing force of 22 Newtons to handle heavy debris. It has a tube-mounted variable speed trigger that adjusts between 0 - 670 CFM for power and run time management. There is a cruise control lever speed lock-on variable speed trigger for comfortable continuous operation. It has a sound pressure rating of 60 dB(A); measured per ANSI B 175.2 standard.
The nozzle features a downward endpoint to reduce arm fatigue and provide powerful airflow. It telescopes to 3 stages. The in-line fan design provides better tool balance and improved ergonomics.
