36V LXT® Brushless 14 in. Chain Saw (Bare Tool)

Makita is meeting the demand for cordless outdoor power equipment (OPE) among landscapers and contractors with its 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Chain Saw (XCU03Z, Tool Only). This chain saw is a welcome, high-efficiency solution for cutting and trimming, offering the power equivalent to a gas saw with zero emissions, lower noise (only 100dB(A)), and considerably less maintenance (no oil changes, spark plugs, filters, or fuel draining). It operates on two 18V LXT® batteries (sold separately) for 36V power and run time, ensuring users stay within the preferred 18V battery platform. The efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system delivers high power, while a variable speed motor with a 14” guide bar achieves 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed. Convenience and productivity features include tool-less chain adjustments, a front hand guard that actuates the chain brake, and an electric brake. As part of Makita’s extensive 18V LXT® system, the tool is protected by Star Protection Computer Controls™, which monitors and guards the tool and battery (sold separately) against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
