Description

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and 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 chain saw (model XCU03Z, tool only). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance, the XCU03Z is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by two 18 V LXT® batteries (sold separately) for 36 V power and run time, 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 XCU03Z has a 14 in guide bar and the Makita-built motor with variable speed delivers 0 to 3940 fpm for increased cutting speed, but with less noise (only 100 dBA). 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 tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard engineered to actuate chain brake when engaged, an electric brake for maximum productivity and more.
