Background and Identification
Makita is a Japanese power tool manufacturer that was founded in 1915. It is a leading brand of professional-grade tools. This company produces cordless tools, power tools, petrol equipment, and batteries. Their tools range from wrenches and drills to chainsaws and lawnmowers. To find the model number on a Makita power tool, you can look at the metal shaft or around the casing.
This product is a professional-grade gas powered string trimmer. String trimmers can be used to trim grass and other ground cover, and are often used along the edges of a lawn where a lawnmower can’t reach. Instead of a blade, string trimmers use a tightly stretched filament, or string, to cut the ground cover. The EM2650LH is powered by a four stroke engine, which doesn’t require the user to mix oil and fuel to use it, unlike a two-stroke engine. Four-stroke engines are usually more efficient and clean than two-stroke engines. However, four stroke engines aren’t necessarily better than two stroke engines, and which one you should look for in a machine depends on what the application of the machine will be. For a more detailed explanation of two-stroke engines vs four-stroke engines, you can read this explanation by the Chainsaw Journal.
