U tilising two of Makita’ s 40Vmax XGT batteries, the UR012G is a high performance cordless machine with a maximum no load speed of 6800 min-1. With an efficient three-speed brushless motor, the Makita brush cutter also features a useful reverse rotation system, enabling users to quickly clear the head or blade from entangled grass and weeds.
In addition to its flexible blade speed settings, it is also compatible with a range of brush cutting, shredding and saw blades. This adaptability makes the UR012G easy to reconfigure for a variety of tasks, reducing the amount of equipment professionals need to carry around. What’ s more, it also comes with Automatic torque Drive Technology( ADT), which adjusts speed and torque during operation for best performance based on grass density as well as smaller shrubs without the need for manual adjustment of any settings.
Active Feedback Sensing technology( AFT) is another function that helps to ensure optimal usage. This feature stops the motor if rotation of the cutter head or blade suddenly stops, which preserves the motor and reduces the likelihood of costly servicing – in addition to minimising any risk of injury to the user should they catch a kerb or stone.
Finally, the UB012G’ s versatility, power and practical design details make switching to cordless tools easier than ever. Unlike a petrolpowered alternative, this highperformance electric brush cutter does not emit any exhaust fumes and removes the risk of users having to interact with potentially dangerous fuels. The brushless electric motor found within this and many other Makita tools is also significantly quieter than a similar output petrol engine, emitting up to 97.7 dB( A).
