Chain saw is perfect to use for cutting and trimming applications. A variable speed trigger improves cutting performance by adjusting the speed of the chain up to 5020 FPM. The brushless motor has the power that operates at a power equivalent to a 42 cc gas chain saw. This chain saw ensures a low noise level and zero emissions for eco-friendly operation. Tool-less chain adjustment makes it easy to use and maintain. Automatic chain lubrication contains a large oil reservoir and ensures smooth movement of the device. Large oil filling port features a viewing window that allows the user to monitor the oil level. The rubberized soft grip top handle makes it easier to apply even pressure when cutting. Extreme protection technology ensures great resistance to dust and water in harsh jobsite conditions. Digital communication features an XGT technology to protect the battery from over-heating, over-discharge and over-loading. Battery with rigid rails, have an impact-resistant construction to secure the tool in harsh conditions. Multi-layer contact interface produces more power on high current demands. Dual fan design of the charger cools down the battery and circuit board to prolong the tool life and the digital display indicates the battery level. Built-in chip of the charger helps in monitoring the current, voltage and temperature for efficient charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers power of a 42cc gas chain saw.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTSMART: 27% faster chain speed at 5,020 FPM.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTLAST: Up to 32 cuts in 12\" diameter cedar with 40V max XGT 4.0Ah battery.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo gas, emissions, oil mixing or pull starts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance with low noise levels.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced maintenance lowers operating costs and minimizes down time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool-less chain adjustment for convenient operation and maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 16\" Chain Saw Kit (4.0Ah).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable automatic chain lubrication with large oil reservoir.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge oil filling port with view window allows operator to easily add and check bar oil level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"89\" data-end=\"305\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"305\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"128\"\u003eGas‑Level Power, Cordless Freedom\u003c\/strong\u003e — Brushless motor delivers performance comparable to a 42 cc gas saw, with \u003cstrong data-start=\"204\" data-end=\"264\"\u003e0 gas emissions, no pull starts, and minimal maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"306\" data-end=\"477\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"308\" data-end=\"477\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"308\" data-end=\"331\"\u003eFast Cutting Speeds\u003c\/strong\u003e — Variable‑speed trigger drives chain speeds up to \u003cstrong data-start=\"383\" data-end=\"396\"\u003e≈5020 FPM\u003c\/strong\u003e for efficient cutting in wood and limbs. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"656\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"656\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"499\"\u003eSmart XGT Tech\u003c\/strong\u003e — Digital communication protects against overload, over‑discharge, and overheating, improving battery and tool life. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"844\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"844\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"683\"\u003eConvenience Features\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tool‑less chain adjustment, large automatic oil reservoir, and LED on\/off with auto power‑off simplify use and upkeep. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"999\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"999\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"868\"\u003eReady‑to‑Work Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e — Includes \u003cstrong data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"933\"\u003e40V 4.0Ah battery, rapid charger, 16″ bar + chain\u003c\/strong\u003e for instant productivity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003eReduced Noise \u0026amp;
