Makita XCU04PT Chainsaw Kit, Battery Included, 5 Ah, 18 V, Lithium-Ion, 16 in L Bar, 3/8 in Pitch

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 18 V X2 LXT® (36 V) brushless 16 in chain saw (model XCU04PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance, the XCU04PT is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It's powered by two 18 V LXT® batteries for maximum power, speed and runtime, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18 V battery platform. And with the efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with direct-drive system, users get high-power efficiency that is equivalent to a gas chain saw. The XCU04PT has a 16 in guide bar and the Makita-built Outer Rotor BL™ motor direct-drive system motor with variable-speed delivers 0 to 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 18 V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries and the saw is ready to use. Convenience features include a "toolless" 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 Makita's expanding 18 V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18 V 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, Makita 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 Makita 18 V LXT® and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. Makita® built outer rotor BL™ motor direct-drive system provides high-power efficiency equivalent to a 32 cc gas chain saw Tool-Less chain adjustment for convenient operation and maintenance Variable-speed trigger and high-chain speed (0 to 3,940 FPM) for improved cutting performance Two 18 V LXT® lithium-ion batteries deliver 36 V power and performance without leaving the 18 V LXT® platform Built-in LED On/Off switch with auto power-off function, automatically shuts the saw off when operation is delayed for extended battery life Low noise level and zero emissions for operator comfort Weighs only 11.7 lb with batteries for reduced operator fatigue Adjustable automatic chain lubrication with large oil reservoir Large oil filling port with view window allows operator to easily add and check bar oil level
