- 18V LXT Li-Ion Cordless Grass Trimmer, Loop Handle
- The design has been upgraded from our predecessor model of DUR181 to reduce the weight and increase the manoeuvrability
- Optimal weight balance for easy handling
- Easier to swing the tool head during grass trimming due to the centre of gravity shifted towards the rear of the machine about 50mm from the position of DUR181
- Lightweight design
- 0.4kg lighter weight is achieved by making the following changes to DUR181:
- Change in the material of housing
- Integration of Bearing box and Motor housing into a tool tip section
- Easy-to-operate front grip
- DUR193 uses a front grip similar to that of UR100D, which provides better handling of the machine because the top of grip is positioned closer to the shaft than such a conventional one as used for DUR181
- Adjustable to a desired height by changing the angle and position
- Telescoping shaft for optimum cutting position can be more conveniently locked/released by changing the mechanism from the rotary type of DUR181 to the lever type similar to UR100D
- Adjustable in length from 1,248mm to 1,436mm
- 1.65mm four-leaf nylon cord
- Changed to 1.65mm four-leaf type from the conventional 1.65mm round type
- 30% improvement in nylon cord durability
- Noise level is reduced by 5dB(A) compared with DUR181
- Up to 45 min. of run time on a single charge under no load using BL1830B
- Makita-built motor delivers 7,800 RPM for faster cutting
- Adjustable 5-position pivoting head (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°) for cutting angle adjustment when trimming in tight spaces
- Compact size is ideal for trimming and precise edging
- 180° rotating head allows the trimmer to convert to edger; 260mm cutting width
- Easy-loading bump and feed trimmer head for increased user convenience
- Built-in lock-off lever for operator convenience
- Battery capacity warning system turns on indicator light and is engineered to automatically stop motor to notify user when it is time to recharge the battery
- Battery protection circuit protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating
- Shoulder belt for operator convenience
- Zero emissions and reduced maintenance; no need for gas or oil
- Low noise level suitable for use in residential areas and public spaces
- Nylon cords are automatically fed out by tapping the cutting head on the ground
- Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions
- Battery and charger sold separately.
