Makita XCU10Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 12 Top Handle Chain Saw

There is an increasing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is addressing this demand by expanding their line of cordless outdoor power equipment, including the 18V LXT® 12" Top Handle Chain Saw (XCU10Z, tool only). The XCU10Z offers a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications, with zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance compared to gas-powered chain saws.

Powered by a single 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery, the chain saw is easy to start by simply loading the battery and powering on. It boasts zero emissions and reduced maintenance, eliminating the need for engine oil changes, spark plug replacement, air filter or muffler cleaning, and fuel draining for storage.

Makita's Outer Rotor Brushless Motor with a direct-drive system provides high power efficiency, delivering power equivalent to a 22cc gas chain saw. The XCU10Z can provide up to 150 cuts in 2x2 cedar with an 18V LXT 4.0Ah Battery (sold separately).

The compact top-handle design makes the XCU10Z ideal for the professional tree care industry, allowing for convenient pruning, trimming, and limbing. It features a Torque boost mode for cutting through dense material, as well as adjustable automatic chain lubrication, a captured bar nut, and lateral chain tensioning for easy operation and maintenance.

The XCU10Z 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 Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing for more time spent working and less time waiting for the batteries to charge.

To improve tool performance and extend battery life, Makita has implemented 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 XCU10Z can be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery, indicating the presence of Star Protection technology.

The XCU10Z's compact top-handle design, Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless Motor, and up to 150 cuts in 2x2 cedar with an 18V LXT 4.0Ah Battery make it a compelling choice for professionals and DIYers alike who seek a cordless, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance solution for their cutting and trimming needs.
