The Makita XRU09PT is a 36V (18V X2) LXT brushless string trimmer kit with two 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid optimum charger. It combines two 18V LXT batteries for increased sustained power on a straight shaft platform with a 13-inch cutting swath. Discontinued and replaced by the XRU15 series with improved Outer Rotor BL motor technology.
What is the difference between the XRU09PT and XRU09PT1?
The XRU09PT includes two 5.0Ah batteries while the XRU09PT1 includes four 5.0Ah batteries and an additional charger. The XRU09PTX1 is a similar 2-battery kit variant. All three share the same XRU09Z tool body.
Is the XRU09PT brushless?
Yes. The XRU09 uses a Makita-built brushless motor, which provides longer run times, less maintenance, and more consistent power compared to brushed motors.
What replaced the XRU09PT?
Makita replaced the XRU09 series with the XRU15 series, which features improved Outer Rotor brushless motor technology, a 15-inch cutting swath, and three-speed settings.
Can I use my existing 18V LXT batteries with this trimmer?
Yes. The XRU09Z requires two 18V LXT batteries with the Star symbol to operate. Any 18V LXT Star battery works, but higher amp-hour batteries like 5.0Ah provide the longest run times.
What trimmer line does the XRU09PT use?
The XRU09 uses a bump-feed trimmer head compatible with .080-inch diameter round trimmer line. Replacement line is widely available at hardware and home improvement stores.
