Makita XCU04CM 16 Brushless Chain Saw Kit, Two Batteries

Makita is meeting the increasing demand from landscapers and contractors for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless 16" Chain Saw (XCU04CM). This cordless chain saw offers a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications, with zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance compared to gas-powered models.

Powered by two 18V LXT® 4.0Ah Batteries, the XCU04CM delivers maximum power, speed, and run-time. The efficient Makita® outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system provides high power efficiency equivalent to a 32cc gas chain saw. The 16" guide bar and the Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor direct drive system with variable speed deliver 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed.

One of the key advantages of the XCU04CM is its zero emissions and reduced maintenance requirements. There is no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean. Additionally, there is no need to drain the fuel for storage, as the tool is powered by the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries.

For improved convenience and productivity, the XCU04CM features tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard engineered to actuate the chain brake when engaged, and an electric brake. It is part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing users to spend more time working and less time waiting for the batteries to charge. To ensure improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita has developed Star Protection Computer Controls™, a communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For increased versatility, the XCU04CM can be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery, indicating the presence of Star Protection inside. This cordless chain saw offers a viable alternative to gas-powered models, providing a reliable and efficient solution for landscapers and contractors who demand more cordless options.
