Makita CBU02Z 40V max ConnectX Brushless Backpack Blower - Bare Tool

Landscapers have been increasingly vocal about their need for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita has been quick to respond to this demand. They have expanded their collection of blowers to include the remarkable 40V ConnectX™ Brushless Backpack Blower (CBU02). This innovative solution has quickly become a favorite among landscapers due to its numerous advantages over traditional gas-powered models, such as zero emissions, reduced noise levels, and significantly less maintenance. The heart of this backpack blower lies in its Makita-built brushless motor, which generates power equivalent to that of a 64cc backpack blower.

One of the standout features of the Backpack Blower is its exceptional blowing force of 22 Newtons, enabling it to effortlessly handle heavy debris. With a tube-mounted variable speed trigger offering a range of 0 to 670 CFM, users have precise control over power and runtime management. Additionally, the blower incorporates a cruise control lever speed lock-on variable speed trigger, ensuring comfortable continuous operation. Furthermore, it boasts a sound pressure rating of 60 dB(A), measured according to the ANSI B 175.2 standard.

To enhance user comfort and efficiency, the blower's nozzle is designed with a downward endpoint, effectively reducing arm fatigue while delivering powerful airflow. The telescoping nozzle extends in three stages, providing versatility in various scenarios. Furthermore, the blower's in-line fan design offers improved tool balance and ergonomics, allowing for better handling and ease of use.

In terms of runtime, the CBU02 impresses with its ability to deliver over 4 hours of continuous operation when paired with the ConnectX™ 1,200Wh Portable Backpack Power Supply (model number PDC1200A01, power supply sold separately). This extended runtime ensures that landscapers can tackle demanding tasks without interruption.

Convenience is at the forefront of the CBU02's design. The control handle features a power button, enabling users to start the Backpack Blower effortlessly while wearing it. Additionally, the tool-less control handle adjustment adds further convenience by allowing users to customize the blower's handling to their preference. The handle itself features a rubberized soft grip, providing increased comfort during long work sessions. The adjustable ergonomic harness, complemented by a waist belt, ensures optimal operator comfort. Furthermore, the blower incorporates an integrated carry handle for easy transportation and hanging storage, while its durable housing with a stable base allows it to stand upright when not in use.

Built to withstand the elements, the Blower features IPX4 weather-resistant construction, making it suitable for various outdoor conditions. Additionally, it incorporates Makita's exclusive Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which adds an extra layer of defense by creating a protective seal inside the tool. This engineering marvel enhances the blower's operation in harsh conditions by effectively channeling water and dust away from vital internal components.

Makita's 40V ConnectX™ Brushless Backpack Blower (CBU02) is the ultimate cordless solution for landscapers seeking power, convenience, and efficiency. With its impressive performance, user-friendly features, and rugged construction, it is revolutionizing the way outdoor power equipment is used and appreciated in the landscaping industry.
