36V LXT Brushless 16" Chain Saw Kit (4.0Ah)

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. The Product is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 16" Chain Saw (XCU04CM). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU04CM is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It′s powered by two 18V LXT 4.0Ah Batteries for maximum power, speed and run-time. And with the efficient outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a 32cc gas chain saw.

The XCU04CM has a 16" guide bar and the Makita-built outer rotor 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 expanding 18V LXT System, the world′s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. 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, 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 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
