Makita Announces Automatic-Start Wireless System Products
Makita is debuting over 20 new tool and accessories at the annual Specialty Tools and Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) trade show, Nov. 12-14 in Austin, including a new Automatic-Start Wireless System (AWS), which gives users wireless power-on/off communication between AWS-equipped tools and vacuums. Makita AWS is an Auto-Start Wireless System, which uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and vacuum/dust extractor. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and reduces noise since the vacuum is trigger-activated.
New AWS solutions announced at STAFD include: 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless HEPA Filter Dry Dust Extractor, with AWS (XCV08Z)
This is the latest addition to Makita’s range of cordless dust extractor/vacuums, and users benefit with an efficient three-stage HEPA filtration system, automatic filter cleaning, and the extended run time of 18V X2 technology powered by two 18V batteries. It’s equipped with AWS for wireless power-on/off communication with AWS-equipped tools. (available January 2018)
