MAKITA 36V DUB362Z BLOWER

Contents of the Makita DUB362Z Blower

The Makita DUB362Z blower is sold as a tool-only configuration, allowing you to use your existing 18V LXT batteries and charger or choose batteries suited to your specific needs. This flexibility represents a substantial saving if you already own Makita tools.

Included in your order:

Makita DUB362Z Blower

Complete professional tool with high-performance brushless motor and 6-speed variable speed drive. Built to Makita's globally recognized quality standards, designed for intensive daily use in demanding professional conditions.

Adjustable telescopic tube

Three-section tube allowing for precise 100-millimeter adjustments to perfectly fit your height. Robust, impact-resistant construction with a secure locking system that firmly holds the selected position.

Adjustable front nozzle

Specially designed nozzle provides the optimal angle between airflow and the ground for maximum sweeping efficiency. This allows for concentrated airflow to dislodge embedded debris or tackle difficult wet surfaces.

Service hex key

A service tool is included for adjustments and periodic preventative maintenance. It allows quick access to components requiring regular checks according to the user manual.

Advantages of the Makita DUB362Z Blower

Universal compatibility with the LXT ecosystem

If you already own Makita 18V drills, saws, grinders, or other tools, your existing batteries will work immediately with this blower. This interchangeability eliminates the need to invest in a new, dedicated battery system, saving you $300 to $500 compared to purchasing a complete competitor's system.

Uncompromising professional power

The 2x18V series system delivers performance equivalent to professional thermal blowers without the drawbacks: no difficult starting on cold mornings, no petrol smell, minimal maintenance, immediate operation without warm-up period.

Versatility for four seasons in Quebec

Unlike temperamental gas-powered snowblowers that struggle in sub-zero temperatures, the brushless electric motor operates reliably down to -10 degrees Celsius. Perfect for clearing powdery snow from driveways, balconies, and stairs during harsh Quebec winters.

Reduction of hearing fatigue

With a sound power level of only 93.5 decibels, this blower allows for extended work without mandatory hearing protection in residential areas. Ideal for municipalities, hospitals, schools, and condominiums where noise levels are strictly regulated.

Recommended Additional Accessories

Optimize your investment:

Makita BL1850B 18V 5.0Ah Batteries (2-pack)- Maximum battery life allowing up to 29 minutes of continuous operation at level 3. Integrated LED indicator technology for monitoring instant charging, sold separately.

Makita DC18RD Dual Port Charger- Simultaneous charging of two batteries in 45 minutes each, reducing downtime on intensive construction sites, sold separately.

Makita gutter cleaning kit- Specialized extension allowing safe access to gutters from the ground without a ladder, sold separately.

First Use

Activating your new Makita blower:

1. Initial Inspection

Carefully remove the blower from its packaging and check that all listed components are present. Visually inspect the tool for any potential damage incurred during transport before first use.

2. Battery installation

Firmly insert two fully charged Makita LXT 18V batteries into their designated compartments until an audible click is heard. Before starting, ensure the LED indicators show sufficient charge; a minimum of two bars is recommended.

3. Telescopic tube adjustment

Unlock the telescopic tube mechanism and adjust the length to your height for a comfortable posture. Lock it securely in the chosen position and test its stability before intensive use.

4. First progressive test

Start at speed level 1 or 2 to familiarize yourself with the power and handling. Gradually increase to higher levels as needed, avoiding sudden starts at maximum speed.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Thorough quarterly cleaning:

Air intake grille

Remove the protective grille according to the manual instructions and clean any accumulated dust with a soft brush or low-pressure compressed air. Avoid high-pressure jets, which can damage internal electronic components.

Turbine interior

If performance drops significantly, inspect the turbine for debris buildup. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove accessible dust; do not disassemble the motor while it is under warranty.

Tube and nozzle

Clean the inside of the tube and nozzle with mild soapy water if there is an accumulation of sticky residue such as pollen or sap. Dry completely before reassembling and using.

Precautions for Use

For your safety:

Avoid dangerous projectionsNever direct the airflow towards people, animals, or fragile objects. Stones and hard debris can be propelled at high speed, causing serious injury.

Protect your eyes- Always wear protective eyewear during even brief use. Dust, pollen, and small debris can be stirred up suddenly.

Sensitive areas are off-limits.- Do not use in the immediate vicinity of open windows, building air intakes, or sensitive electronic equipment. Excessive dust can damage delicate components.

Weather conditions monitoring- Avoid use in heavy rain or snow despite XPT protection. Prolonged excessive humidity reduces the lifespan of electronic components.

Storage Tips

Short-term storage (less than 2 weeks):

Store the blower in a workshop, garage, or heated shed with the batteries removed. The ideal temperature is between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius; avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.

Long-term storage (more than 1 month):

Thoroughly clean the blower and batteries according to the procedures above. Charge the batteries to 40-50 percent and store them separately from the tool in their original packaging if possible. Check the battery charge level monthly and recharge if it falls below 30 percent.

Winter storage in Quebec:

If storing in an unheated shed or garage, bring the batteries indoors to prevent damage from severe frost. The tool itself can withstand temperatures below zero, but lithium-ion batteries should be kept above 5 degrees Celsius for optimal performance.
