Makita 18V LXT® Cordless 14 Chain Saw Kit

Landscapers and contractors are increasingly seeking cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is actively meeting this demand by expanding their line of cordless OPE, including the 18V LXT® Brushless Chain Saw Kit (model XCU11SM1). The XCU11 offers a solution for cutting and trimming applications with zero emissions, lower noise levels, and reduced maintenance requirements. This chainsaw is powered by a single 18V LXT® battery, the same battery that powers all products in the growing LXT® System.

The efficient Makita brushless motor provides high power efficiency comparable to a gas chainsaw, allowing up to 73 cuts in 4x4 cedar with a single 18V LXT® 4.0Ah battery. The XCU11 features a 14” guide bar and a Makita-built motor with variable speed delivering 0-1,520 FPM for faster cutting. With zero emissions and reduced maintenance, there is no need for engine oil changes, spark plug replacements, air filter cleanings, or fuel draining.

Convenient features of the XCU11 include "tool-less" chain adjustments, a front hand guard that activates the chain brake, an electric brake for increased productivity, and more. The chainsaw also includes a large oil filling port with a viewing window for easy monitoring, a rubberized soft grip top handle for comfortable cutting pressure, and a compact body with a rear handle design for effortless maneuverability.

As part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the XCU11 is compatible with the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita’s batteries offer fast charge times, allowing for more work and less downtime. For improved tool performance and battery longevity, Makita integrated Star Protection Computer Controls™, a communication technology that monitors conditions in real-time to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The XCU11 can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol, indicating Star Protection. With no gas, emissions, oil mixing, or pull starts, this chainsaw delivers high performance with low noise levels and unparalleled convenience for outdoor power equipment users.
