The patented oil lubrication system expands
the use of the MM4 engines into product
lines such as brush cutters and line trimmers
where traditional 4-Stroke engines have
difficulty operating on slopes and angles.
The natural pressure changes in the
crankcase caused by the piston movement
in the cylinder are harnessed to pump oil
throughout the engine. Oil is pumped from a
reservoir in the base of the engine through
a network of one-way valves for reliable
lubrication and long service life without the
need to keep the engine level.

Compared with conventional
4-stroke engines, Makita’s
4-stroke engines produce approximately 20 to 30 %
more power thanks to its high combustion efficiency
and compact spark plug.
Additionally, by employing a unique lubrication system,
it has obtained the smallest in class exterior physical
dimensions among the 4-stroke engines available in the
market today. And it is also lightest in class by using a
magnesium alloy diecast for the clutch case.

Makita offers many outdoor power tools with electric motors.
Electric motors are an environmentally friendly alternative to fuel
based engines. Electric motor driven equipment can be stored in the off-season with little to no preparation.
Many of Makita’s electric outdoor tools offer a soft start feature and current limiters to protect the motor
from premature burnout, extending the life of your equipment.
