Overview

About the Makita DUR189

The Makita DUR189 is a battery-powered trimmer option. While it avoids petrol fuel issues, it still needs the head, guard, shaft, trigger and electrical contact areas checked. Service work often involves head replacement, jammed line feed, worn guards or diagnosis of battery and power faults.
