Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless ope, including the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 18 In. Chain saw (model XCU04PT). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU04PT is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum power, speed and run-time, but without leaving the strongly preferred 18V 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 XCU04PT has a 16 In. guide bar and the Makita-built outer rotor BL Brushless Motor direct drive system motor with variable speed delivers 0-3,940 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. Simply pick it up, load two 18V 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakita-built outer rotor BL Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides high power efficiency equivalent to a 32cc gas chain saw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-3,940 FPM) for improved cutting performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tool-less\" chain adjustment for convenient operation and maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in lock-off lever helps prevent the chain from accidentally engaging.\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-section-id=\"s4xaso\" data-start=\"28\" data-end=\"343\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"30\" data-end=\"64\"\u003eGas-Class Cutting Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Makita XCU04PT 18V LXT Brushless 16\" Chain Saw uses a \u003cstrong data-start=\"123\" data-end=\"169\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e36V (18V X2) brushless direct-drive system\u003c\/strong\u003e to deliver power comparable to a \u003cstrong data-start=\"203\" data-end=\"225\"\u003e32cc gas chain saw\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing strong performance for trimming, firewood, and property maintenance. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1dw5tmc\" data-start=\"344\" data-end=\"544\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"375\"\u003eFast \u0026amp;
