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 standard
The 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).
Convenience features include a power button on the control handle that allows the user to start the Backpack Blower while wearing it. There is a tool-less control handle adjustment for user convenience. The handle features a rubberized soft grip that provides increased comfort on the job. It features an adjustable ergonomic harness with waist belt for operator comfort. For added user convenience there is an integrated carry handle for transportation and hanging storage, as well as a durable housing with base that allows the backpack blower to stand upright.
The Blower features IPX4 weather-resistant construction and exclusive Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.
