The Makita XCU04PT1 is a cordless 16 in. chain saw for cutting and trimming. It runs on two 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries (36V total) and has zero emissions and lower noise than a gas saw. There is no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean. There is also no fuel to drain for storage.
The saw uses a Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor with a direct drive system and variable speed. Chain speed is 0 - 3,940 FPM. Tool-less chain adjustment, a front hand guard that engages the chain brake, and an electric brake are included.
Star Protection computer controls let the tool and battery exchange data in real time. They monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The saw also works with Makita 18V LXT batteries marked with the star symbol. It is part of Makita's 18V LXT system.
