Makita LXT 14 in. 18V X2 (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless Battery Chain Saw Kit (5.0Ah)

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-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Brushless 14 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. Its powered by two 18-Volt LXT batteries for 36-Volt power and run time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18-Volt 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 guide bar and the Makita-built motor with variable speed delivers 0 FPM 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. Pick it up, load two 18-Volt 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.
