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 - 671 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 standardThe 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. The CBU02 can deliver over 4 hours of runtime with the ConnectX 1, 200Wh Portable Backpack Power Supply (model number PDC1200A01, power supply sold separately).
