NEW MAKITA 18V LXT CORDLESS BACKPACK VACUUMS ARE POWERFUL AND PORTABLE SOLUTIONS FOR CLEAN-UPS AND DUST EXTRACTION

The XCV10 offers the portability of smaller vacuums and capacity of larger vacuums, ideal for construction applications when used as part of a dust extraction system. (Batteries sold separately.)

January 22, 2019, La Mirada, CA – Makita^® U.S.A., Inc., the innovation leader in cordless power tools, has released two powerful and portable dust extraction solutions, the 18V X2 LXT^® (36V) Brushless Cordless 1/2 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Vacuum (XCV09) and the 18V X2 LXT^® (36V) Brushless Cordless 1/2 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Dust Extractor with AWS™ Capability (XCV10).

The XCV09 and XCV10 are powerful and portable clean-up solutions that feature more CFM, more water lift and more run time than the previous model. The XCV09 has 70 CFM, 44” of water lift, and 116 minutes of continuous run time, while the XCV10 has 64 CFM, 44” of water lift and 62 minutes of continuous run time. Both models have an efficient two stage HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particulates .3 microns and larger.

These new vacuum backpacks bridge the gap between low-capacity on-board dust extraction systems and larger capacity, but less portable, wheeled canister job site vacuums. They offer the capacity of larger dust extraction solutions and the portability of smaller vacuums, ideal for cleaning crews and construction applications when used as part of a dust extraction system.  

Makita 18V X2 LXT tools utilize two 18V batteries to take on the most demanding applications, delivering the watt-hours and amp-hours of a 36V battery – but without having to manage multiple battery platforms or investing in larger, heavier higher-voltage batteries. Users will experience new levels of convenience, efficiency, and productivity with Makita’s 18V LXT system. The 18V LXT batteries used in the XCV09 and XCV10 are the same 18V batteries that operate a Makita drill, impact driver, and over 200 other Makita cordless tools. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 18V LXT technology, Makita 18V LXT tools are engineered to exceed the performance of corded counterparts.

The XCV10 differs from XCU09 with the added benefit of Makita's Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS™). AWS uses Bluetooth^® technology for wireless power-on and power-off communication between the equipped tool and dust extractor. AWS eliminates cords, thus reducing trip hazards and eliminating grounding issues and the need to re-plug the cord.

Once connected via AWS™, the dust extractor backpack will automatically power on or off when the cordless tool starts or stops, running only when the tool is in use. This extends the battery run time of the dust extractor backpack, increasing productivity on a single charge, and reduces continuous noise at the job or work site. Three tool adapters for hose connection are included.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita 18V LXT tools feature Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
