XGT 40Vmax Battery-Powered String Trimmer with Asymmetric Handle, BLDC, XPT, ADT, AFT UR016GZ

Cordless Grass Trimmer with XGT System and Advanced Protection

This tool offers full mobility in grass cutting, eliminating the need for cables or heavy gasoline engines. Thanks to 40 V voltage and XGT technology, the device generates power equivalent to 600 W, enabling effective cutting even of dense and tall grass. A key structural element is the asymmetrical handlebar, which adapts to the user's natural body posture, reducing fatigue during prolonged operation. The aluminum gearbox housing ensures resistance to mechanical damage and long-term operation under difficult conditions.

Intelligent Control and Operational Safety

The ADT (Auto-Drive Technology) system automatically adjusts the rotational speed to the resistance encountered by the blade. This means that during light cutting, the motor operates at lower speeds, saving battery energy, while in dense grass it increases RPM to maintain performance. The user also has access to three manually selectable speed levels (3500 / 5300 / 6500 rpm), providing full control over the cutting process depending on the type of vegetation.

Safety is a priority in this design:

• AFT (Active Feedback Sensing) Technology – in the event of sudden stopping or slowing of the cutting element (so-called kick-back), the system immediately shuts off the motor, protecting against injuries.
• Electric brake – rapid blade stop after releasing the trigger.
• Soft-start function – prevents tool jerking during motor startup.
• Automatic shut-off – the main power switch features an automatic shut-off function after a specified period of inactivity.

Ease of Use and Additional Features

The trimmer has been designed to facilitate daily work not only for professionals but also for home users. The included harness allows the device to be hung on the shoulder, significantly relieving the hands during transport or short breaks. It is worth noting the self-cleaning function – by setting slow reverse rotation, grass residues can be removed from the cutting head without the need to disassemble guards or perform manual cleaning.

The asymmetrical handlebar not only improves grip ergonomics but also minimizes wrist strain during multi-hour operation, which is crucial for operator comfort. The use of an aluminum gearbox instead of plastic directly translates to higher mechanism durability under high mechanical loads. The ADT mode acts as an intelligent assistant – optimizing energy consumption, it realistically extends operating time on a single battery. Meanwhile, the AFT system reacts instantly in emergency situations related to blade jamming, which is essential for safe operation on uneven terrain or with many obstacles.

The device is compatible with the entire XGT 40Vmax Li-ion battery system, allowing battery interchange between different Makita brand tools without the need for dedicated power sources for each piece of equipment separately.
