Landscapers and contractors are increasingly looking for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita is answering the call with a growing range of cordless OPE options. Among them is the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 16” Chain Saw (XCU04PT1), which offers zero emissions, lower noise levels, and significantly reduced maintenance compared to traditional gas-powered tools. This makes it an ideal solution for cutting and trimming tasks.

The XCU04PT1 is powered by two 18V LXT Batteries, providing maximum power, speed, and run-time while still utilizing the popular 18V battery platform. The efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system delivers high power efficiency comparable to a gas-powered chain saw. With a 16” guide bar and variable speed motor capable of 0-3,940 FPM, users can enjoy increased cutting speed and precision.

In addition to its eco-friendly features, the XCU04PT1 boasts convenience and safety enhancements such as tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard designed to activate the chain brake when engaged, and an electric brake for enhanced productivity. Being part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, users can expect compatibility with the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. These batteries offer rapid charge times, allowing for more efficient work sessions.

For improved tool performance and battery longevity, Makita incorporates Star Protection Computer Controls technology into its batteries. This system enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to monitor conditions during use, protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol, indicating the presence of Star Protection technology.

With no gas, emissions, oil mixing, or pull starts required, the XCU04PT1 offers a hassle-free alternative to gas-powered equipment. The Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct-drive system delivers the power of a 32cc gas chain saw, while the two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries ensure performance without compromising the 18V LXT platform. This, coupled with features like variable speed trigger and high chain speed, makes for improved cutting performance and overall user satisfaction.
