Makita 36V (2 x 18V) Cordless Brushless Line Grass Trimmer, Loop Handle (Bare Tool) | DUR368L.

18V+18V=36V LXT Litium-ion Brushless Motor ADT AFT

Maintain lawns, garden edges and overgrown green areas with the Makita DUR368L Cordless Brushless Line Grass Trimmer. Designed for efficient outdoor maintenance, this powerful cordless machine combines the performance of a 36V system with the convenience of Makita's 18V LXT lithium-ion battery platform.

The DUR368L operates using two 18V batteries to deliver 36V performance, providing the power required for demanding grass-trimming and brush-cutting applications. Its cordless design eliminates the restrictions of petrol engines and electrical extension cables, allowing greater freedom of movement when working around gardens, landscaped areas and outdoor spaces.

At the heart of the machine is a highly efficient brushless motor that delivers dependable performance while reducing maintenance requirements. Without carbon brushes to replace, the motor offers a longer service life and efficient power delivery. Furthermore, its low-noise and low-vibration operation helps improve user comfort during extended trimming sessions.

The trimmer features three selectable operating speeds of 3,500rpm, 5,300rpm and 6,500rpm. These settings allow users to match the cutting speed to the application, whether maintaining lighter grass, trimming thicker vegetation or tackling more demanding cutting conditions.

For additional efficiency, Makita's Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) automatically adjusts the motor speed and torque according to the cutting load. This intelligent system helps optimise performance while conserving battery power when maximum output is unnecessary.

Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) provides an additional safety feature by shutting down the motor if the cutting attachment suddenly stops rotating. This helps reduce the risks associated with abrupt rotation stoppages during operation.

The DUR368L also incorporates Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), engineered to improve resistance to dust and water ingress. This makes the trimmer suitable for demanding outdoor working environments, although it should not be submerged or exposed to conditions beyond the manufacturer's operating recommendations.

An electric brake helps bring the cutting attachment to a stop after the tool is switched off, supporting improved productivity and operator safety. Meanwhile, the integrated battery protection circuit helps protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

The ergonomic loop handle provides comfortable control and manoeuvrability, particularly when trimming around obstacles, garden borders and landscaped features. Its practical design allows users to guide the machine accurately while maintaining a comfortable working position.

With selectable cutting widths of 230mm, 255mm and 350mm, depending on the cutting attachment, the DUR368L offers versatility for different vegetation-maintenance requirements. It also supports nylon line diameters ranging from 2.0mm to 2.4mm.

Weighing approximately 3.2kg without batteries, the Makita DUR368L combines powerful cordless performance with a manageable design for regular garden maintenance. It is a practical choice for professional landscapers, groundskeepers and homeowners who require reliable trimming performance without the inconvenience of petrol-powered equipment.

36V Performance with Makita 18V LXT Batteries:

The Makita DUR368L delivers 36V performance using two 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries connected electrically in series.

This configuration allows the machine to achieve the higher operating voltage required for demanding trimming applications while remaining part of Makita's established 18V LXT battery platform.

The two batteries fit into separate battery docking stations, providing a convenient power arrangement for users who already own compatible Makita 18V LXT batteries.

As a bare tool, the DUR368L does not include batteries or a charger. Two compatible 18V LXT batteries are required for cordless operation.

High-Efficiency Brushless Motor:

The DUR368L features a brushless motor designed to deliver efficient power, reliable performance and reduced maintenance requirements.

Unlike conventional brushed motors, the brushless design does not use carbon brushes that require periodic replacement. This contributes to a longer motor service life and reduces routine maintenance.

The motor also supports low-noise and low-vibration operation, helping create a more comfortable working experience during regular grass-trimming tasks.

Three Selectable Operating Speeds:

The Makita DUR368L provides three operating speeds, allowing users to adjust cutting performance according to vegetation density and working conditions.

  • Low Speed – 3,500rpm: Suitable for lighter trimming tasks where reduced power consumption is beneficial.
  • Medium Speed – 5,300rpm: Provides balanced performance for general grass maintenance.
  • High Speed – 6,500rpm: Delivers increased cutting speed for more demanding vegetation.

This flexibility allows users to select an appropriate operating speed instead of continuously running the machine at maximum output.

Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT):

Makita's Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) automatically adjusts the motor speed and torque in response to the cutting load.

When cutting resistance increases, the system adjusts performance to help maintain effective cutting. Under lighter loads, it can reduce unnecessary power consumption.

This intelligent operation helps balance cutting performance and battery efficiency, making the trimmer practical for areas with varying grass density.

Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT):

The DUR368L incorporates Makita's Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT), designed to improve operator safety during cutting operations.

If the cutting attachment suddenly stops rotating, the system detects the abrupt change and shuts down the motor.

This protective function helps reduce the risks associated with unexpected rotation stoppages. However, users must still follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and maintain appropriate control of the machine.

eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT):

Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides improved resistance to dust and water ingress, supporting reliable operation in demanding outdoor environments.

This protective design is particularly useful when working in grassy, dusty or challenging garden conditions.

Although XPT improves resistance to environmental exposure, the machine is not waterproof and should not be submerged or operated outside the manufacturer's recommended conditions.

Reverse Rotation Function:

The Makita DUR368L features a reverse rotation function that assists with clearing grass and vegetation that becomes entangled around the cutting attachment.

By briefly reversing the direction of rotation, the tool can help release trapped material and reduce interruptions during trimming.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when operating this function and switch off the machine before manually removing any remaining debris.

Ergonomic Loop Handle:

The DUR368L features a loop handle designed to provide comfortable handling and controlled manoeuvrability.

This configuration is particularly useful when working around trees, garden borders, pathways and other obstacles where accurate positioning is important.

The loop handle also supports a practical working posture, helping users maintain control during routine garden maintenance.

Electric Brake & Battery Protection:

An integrated electric brake helps stop the cutting attachment after the trigger is released, reducing the time spent waiting for the rotating accessory to come to a standstill.

The machine also features a battery protection circuit designed to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

Together, these systems support safer operation and help protect the tool and compatible batteries during demanding use.
