Makita XCU07PT Brushless Chainsaw Kit, Battery Included, 5 Ah, 18 V, Lithium-Ion, 12 in Cutting Capacity, 14 in L Bar

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 36 V (18 V X 2) LXT® brushless 14 in chain saw kit (model XCU07PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance, the XCU07PT is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It's powered by two 18 V LXT® batteries for 36 V power 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 XCU07PT has a 14 in guide bar and the Makita-built motor with variable-speed delivers 0 to 3940 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 captured bar nuts, lateral chain tensioning, a front hand guard engineered to actuate chain brake when engaged and a built-on lock lever to help prevent the chain from accidentally engaging. 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™.
