Makita® XCU04PT 16" Cordless Chain Saw Kit 18V X2 (36V) LXT® w/2 5.0Ah Batteries & Charger

Makita® XCU04PT 18V X2 (36V) LXT® 16" Cordless Brushless Chain Saw Kit W/ 2 5.0Ah Batteries

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita® is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 18V X2 LXT® (36V) Brushless 16" Cordless Chain Saw (XCU04PT1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU04PT1 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It's powered by two 18V LXT® Batteries for maximum power, speed and run-time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. And with the efficient Makita® outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a gas chain saw.The XCU04PT1 has a 16" guide bar and the Makita-built Outer Rotor BL™ Brushless Motor direct drive system motor with variable speed delivers 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed. It has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean. And there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. Simply pick it up, load two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries, and the saw is ready to use. Convenience features include a tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard engineered to actuate chain brake when engaged, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.It's 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, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita® created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is 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 tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
