Makita XCU11Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Chain Saw

Landscapers and contractors are increasingly looking for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita has responded to this demand by expanding its line of cordless OPE. One such product is the 18V LXT® Brushless Chain Saw (model XCU11Z, tool only, batteries, and charger sold separately), which offers a solution for cutting and trimming applications with zero emissions, lower noise levels, and reduced maintenance requirements.

The XCU11Z is powered by a single 18V LXT® battery, the same fast-charging battery that is compatible with Makita's full range of products in the expanding LXT® System. Equipped with an efficient Makita brushless motor, the XCU11Z provides high power efficiency comparable to a gas chain saw, allowing users to make up to 73 cuts in 4x4 cedar with an 18V LXT® 4.0Ah battery.

Featuring a 14” guide bar and variable speed capabilities, the Makita-built motor of the XCU11Z delivers a cutting speed range of 0-1,520 FPM. In addition to its performance capabilities, the XCU11Z also boasts convenience features such as "tool-less" chain adjustments, a front hand guard with an actuating chain brake, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.

The saw is designed with ease of use in mind, featuring a large oil filling port with a viewing window for easy bar oil level checks, a rubberized soft grip top handle for improved pressure application, and a compact body with a rear handle design for enhanced maneuverability. It is part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, which is powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries offering fast charge times and enhanced tool performance.

For increased versatility, the XCU11Z can be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with Star Protection Computer Controls™ for improved tool performance and extended battery life. With no gas, emissions, oil mixing, or pull starts required, the XCU11Z provides high performance with low noise levels, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of outdoor cutting and trimming tasks.
