Makita 36V LXT Chainsaw Kit with Two Batteries (Teal)

Landscapers and contractors are increasingly seeking cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita is meeting this demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE. One example is the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless 16” Chain Saw (XCU04CM). This saw offers zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, making it an ideal solution for cutting and trimming applications.

The XCU04CM is powered by two 18V LXT® 4.0Ah Batteries, providing maximum power, speed, and run-time. Its efficient Makita® outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system delivers high power efficiency equivalent to a 32cc gas chain saw. Additionally, the saw has a 16” guide bar and the motor with variable speed can deliver 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed.

The XCU04CM stands out for its zero emissions and reduced maintenance, as it requires no engine oil changes, spark plug replacements, air filter cleanings, or fuel drainage for storage. Simply load two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries, and the saw is ready to use. Convenience features include tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard engineered to actuate the chain brake when engaged, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.

This saw is part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. The Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing for more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Additionally, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™ for improved tool performance and extended battery life. This communication technology allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time, monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For added 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. The XCU04CM offers the power of a 32cc gas chain saw without the drawbacks of gas, emissions, oil mixing, pull starts, and reduced maintenance with low noise levels. With up to 150 cuts in 4 x 4 cedar with two 18V LXT 4.0Ah batteries, it provides a powerful and efficient solution for outdoor cutting and trimming tasks.
