Makita XCU03PT 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 14 Chain Saw Kit, Teal

Makita's Expanding Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment Line: The XCU03PT 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Chain Saw

Landscapers and contractors are increasingly demanding cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita is meeting this demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE. One such solution is the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Chain Saw Kit (model XCU03PT), which offers a welcome combination of zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance compared to gas-powered chainsaws.

Powered by two 18V LXT® batteries, the XCU03PT delivers 36V of power and runtime without requiring users to depart from the widely-preferred 18V battery platform. Makita's efficient outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system provides power efficiency equivalent to a 32cc gas chainsaw, allowing users to benefit from high performance without the hassle of gas, oil mixing, or pull-starting.

The XCU03PT features a 14" guide bar and a Makita-built motor with variable speed control, delivering cutting speeds up to 3,940 feet per minute (FPM) while maintaining noise levels of only 100dB(A) – significantly quieter than a traditional gas-powered chainsaw. This impressive performance is achieved without any emissions, and with minimal maintenance required, as there is no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean.

For added convenience and productivity, the XCU03PT boasts several user-friendly features, including "tool-less" chain adjustments, a front hand guard that engages the chain brake when activated, and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The tool is part of Makita's expansive 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool platform powered by 18V slide-style batteries.

Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries are renowned for their fast charging times, allowing users to spend more time working and less time waiting on the charger. To further enhance tool performance and battery life, Makita has implemented its Star Protection Computer Controls™ technology, which enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For increased versatility, the XCU03PT can be powered by any Makita 18V LXT® or Compact Lithium-Ion battery with the Star Protection symbol, ensuring users have the flexibility to utilize the batteries they already own within the Makita 18V ecosystem.

In summary, the Makita XCU03PT 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Chain Saw Kit offers landscapers and contractors a cordless solution that delivers the power and performance of a gas-powered chainsaw, while eliminating emissions, reducing noise, and minimizing maintenance. As part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion platform, the XCU03PT provides a welcome alternative to traditional gas-powered outdoor power equipment.
