Makita is expanding the line of cordless OPE to include the 40V max XGT® Brushless 21" Self-Propelled Commercial Lawn Mower. With no gas, emissions, oil mixing or pull starts, the 40V max XGT® Cordless Lawn Mower is a welcome solution for efficient grass cutting. Reduced maintenance lowers operating costs and minimizes downtime.

The mower features a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers up to 2,800 RPM, a commercial grade steel deck, and a 3-in-1 design that allows for mulching, bagging, or side discharge. Rear-wheel drive self-propelled technology provides improved traction and improved performance on incline slopes and uneven terrain. It also features large 9” wheels with steel ball bearings to provide a smoother drive with better maneuverability and increased durability.

The mower can cut up to 3/5 of an acre in 54 minutes or less with two 40V XGT® 4.0Ah batteries. It is powered by one 40V XGT® with the ability to carry two batteries allowing the GML01SM extended run time using the Auto-Switching two-bay battery system.

Convenience features include a rubberized soft grip handle bar for added comfort, a folding handle for compact upright storage, and a single lever that quickly adjusts cutting height from 1-1/4” to 4”. It is equipped with a side discharge cover with a mulching plug included. Quiet mode can be engaged which reduces noise by providing constant speed control.

The GML01SM features Makita® 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. It is IPX4-rated for weather-resistant construction and durability.

The GML01SM is a kit that includes the Lawn Mower, two fast charging 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah Battery (BL4040), and an XGT® Rapid Charger with dual-fan design (DC40RC).

XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40V max lithium-ion batteries.
