Cordless trimmer 36 V (2x18V) DUR368LZ

Performance and Precision in One Tool

The Makita DUR368LZ cordless brush cutter is a solution that combines the mobility of a wireless system with the power characteristic of petrol-powered devices. The unit operates on a 36 V system, achieved by connecting two 18 V Li-Ion batteries (LXT series), enabling efficient grass cutting even in challenging terrain. Thanks to the brushless BLDC motor, the tool delivers higher performance with lower energy consumption while eliminating the need for carbon brush replacement, significantly extending the service life of the entire drive assembly. This is a key advantage for professionals who value reliability during long working days in gardens or on commercial sites.

Adaptation to Vegetation Type

A key structural element is the three-stage electronic speed regulation, allowing the user to precisely adjust operating parameters to current conditions. Instead of a fixed setting, the operator can smoothly switch between three modes: from 3500 rpm intended for delicate trimming along curbs and around sensitive plants, through the universal 5300 rpm for standard lawns, up to the maximum 6500 rpm necessary for cutting dense weeds or young shrubs. Such flexibility means one device replaces several different machines. The cutting head with a working width of 35 cm ensures rapid movement across the terrain, while the ability to mount both a dual-line head (for trimmer line) and a 4-tooth blade (230 mm diameter) expands the tool's application to cutting tougher plant materials. The power switch is equipped with an automatic shut-off function, increasing work safety and saving energy during short breaks.

Ergonomics and Ease of Assembly

The brush cutter's design focuses on reducing operator fatigue. The unit weighs approximately 4.7–5.2 kg (depending on configuration), which, combined with proper weight distribution on the "L"-type handle, ensures good control even during overhead work or in hard-to-reach areas. The overall length is 1758 mm, allowing comfortable maneuvering around trees and shrubs without the need to bend over.

The kit includes ready-to-use starter accessories:

• Dual-line cutting head (code: 198383-1);
• 4-tooth cutting blade, 230 mm diameter (code: B-14118).

Please note that the DUR368LZ model is a "body-only" version, sold without batteries and charger. This is an optimal solution for users who already own other Makita LXT 18 V devices or for companies wishing to optimize purchase costs by utilizing their existing battery park. The noise level does not exceed values typical for this class of equipment (74.7–76.4 dB(A) sound pressure), making it more comfortable to use than traditional petrol mowers.

Thanks to zero exhaust emissions and low vibration levels, this brush cutter is an ideal choice for work in enclosed spaces or areas requiring quiet, such as urban parks or residential areas during weekends. Mounting cutting elements is simple thanks to the standard M10 x 1.25 LH (left-hand) thread, requiring only a suitable hex key available in any garden workshop. It is worth noting that the device features a left-hand thread – when removing the head, remember to unscrew in the opposite direction compared to standard right-hand screw threads.
