Product Details
The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT® brushless 16" chain saw (model XCU04Z, tool only) is designed to meet the increasing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. With zero emissions, reduced noise, and minimal maintenance requirements, the XCU04Z is an effective solution for various cutting and trimming tasks. This chain saw is powered by two 18V LXT® batteries (sold separately), offering maximum power, speed, and run-time while maintaining compatibility with the 18V battery platform. The efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor features a direct drive system capable of delivering variable speeds of 0-3,940 FPM, matching the performance of a gas chain saw. The 16" guide bar facilitates cutting tasks, while convenient features include tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard that activates the chain brake when engaged, and an electric brake for enhanced productivity. The XCU04Z also benefits from Makita's 18V lithium-ion system, which is the largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries known for their fast charge times. Furthermore, the tool incorporates Star Protection Computer Controls®, a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real-time, providing protection against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
