Description

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 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Chain Saw Kit (model XCU03PT). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU03PT is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by two 18V LXT® batteries for 36V power 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 XCU03PT has a 14” guide bar and the Makita-built motor with variable speed delivers 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed, but with less noise (only 100dB(A)). 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. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium- Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium- Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection- equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

  • Great tool
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
I am a relative newbie at chainsaw usage and not young anymore but not very old, and this tool helped me cut down a bunch of smaller trees and trim limbs off of trees. I opted for this saw instead of buying a gas powered saw just for lower maintenance. I already have gas powered lawnmowers to maintain, and do not want to add to that list. I also have the 10" single battery LXT version, which I do not like, it is very under powered. But that saw at least got me started. This saw uses two batteries and can do a lot. For very large trees and complex situations I do hire professionals but for small tree felling and simple situations this saw can do it. I also bought chaps, gloves and a helmet with faqce guard designed for this work, and I usually do it with a second set of eyes around. ... show more

  • Initial use/impressions very good.
Size: Chain Saw Only
Great part-time saw... I never had a reason to consider a chain saw, I recently needed one to fell small trees, shrubs occasionally [tired of hand sawing!]. I will sometimes use on a job site without power and did not want a corded unit that would require me to tote a generator. I wanted a quiet saw b/c a lot of what we do in infill residential construction and I try not to piss-off the neighbors. I also did not want to have to maintain an 'engine'...plugs, oil/fuel, leaking all over etc. Once again a tool that is gonna get used a few times each season, more convenience than hand sawing... I already 'bought' into the Makita 18v system years ago and have been nothing but pleased, so it was natural that I looked at the battery operated units they have. I was impressed with the fact that guys are using them to trim glue-lams in the field with it. Well I bought it and it is simple to assemble and use, the blade tightening procedure is easy. Though I think it dispenses too much oil, I will need to adjust. It is a strong runner and takes down smaller diameter trees with ease. Initially I was using 3.0 Ah batteries which it drains super-quick. I ordered some 6.0 Ah batteries and we will see if that extends the run time. I will post an update. Bottom line if cordless makes the most sense for you as it did for me than you should consider this one. ... show more

  • I love this saw
Size: Chain Saw Only
It's been a long time since I've handled a chainsaw professionally, and nothing I'm doing on my 2/3 of an acre involves long run times. I've used this thing a few times now and at least for a household saw I'm never going back to gas. I was already invested in Makita battery powered tools, so once I decided I was going to buy an electric saw, there wasn't much decision making to do about which one. I've never once regretted my choice to go with Makita, and that continues to be true. My longest session was about a half an hour of bucking up a good sized brush pile. I didn't even use a half a tank of bar oil, I felt like I was moving through it quickly, the saw was easy to handle, I loved the lack of engine vibration, and I definitely didn't miss standing in a cloud of 2 stroke exhaust. At the end of that session, the saw was still going strong, so I can't directly speak to battery life, but I can charge a dead pair of 5 Ah Makita batteries to full in about 45 minutes and I get to 80% in about 30 minutes, so I'm pretty sure I can keep the saw moving constantly with one extra set of batteries cycling onto the charger and I'm positive I can do it with two extra sets. It was also easy to handle for felling a black walnut tree that decided to pop up a few years back in an inconvenient spot. Black walnut grows FAST around here and the wood is quite hard. This saw cut through it like butter. We'll see how it holds up over time, but if every other Makita tool I've ever owned is an indication, I expect it will be good. I've never done any repairs on any of my Makita LXT tools and they all still work perfectly. I did have one of their prosumer grade drills once upon a time. That lasted me a couple years of professional duty use before it gave up the ghost, but for $40 second hand with an LXT compatible charger and battery (both of which are still going) I still don't think I've ever gone wrong buying Makita. ... show more

  • Decent saw for home use if you are already on the Makita 18v platform.
Size: Chain Saw Only
First of all, I am a committed Makita fan, having bought my first cordless drill back in about 1991. When my 50 year old Mini-Mac chainsaw died, I needed another small saw for use around my yard in town. I have two much larger Stihl saws at my farm but they are too big for most of what I do around the house. I saw this saw on Amazon for what seemed to be a very good price so I decided to give it a try. The saw itself is well built, has a good bar and chain and the overall build quality seems sturdy. I have used it multiple times for everything from cutting up some fairly large tree limbs (6-8") to trimming some overgrown cedar hedges. It seems to go a long time on a pair of 5ah batteries, at least I never needed to swap them out. My only complaint is the "tool less" bar tensioning system. I would be much happier if it had the more standard 1 or preferably 2 nuts to tighten the bar, and a screw for tensioning the chain. The hand crank and thumb wheel look like they will be the first thing too fail. However, for light use around the yard it will probably last a good many years. ... show more

  • battery drained after 2 10” cuts
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
Changed review from 2 stars to one. 2 weeks after i sent item back theres no refund. Called Amazon - they said refund will take 30 days. unbelievable Maybe I bought dud. i’ve seen on youtube people are doing 30 12” cuts on same batteries. Mine was dead ofter 2 cuts of 10 ” pine tree. Also, tool comes with 2x5.0ah batteries and I have plenty of 4ah batteries. Tool did not worked with Makita 4ah batteries, not even moved the chain. I have smaller Makita single battery chain saw and that thing is perfect. as i said, i maybe bought dud. But im reviewing what i received. ... show more
