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 16” Chain Saw (XCU04CM). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU04CM is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by two 18V LXT® 4.0Ah Batteries for maximum power, speed and run-time. And with the efficient Makita® outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a 32cc gas chain saw. The XCU04CM has a 16” guide bar and the Makita-built outer rotor 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. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® 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® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

  • lightweight and does the job!
Size: Chain Saw Only
This was so much fun to take out recently. We had a very destructive ice storm over the winter that wrecked our entire town. 6 months later, people are still cleaning up their properties. We put this to use in my mother-in-law's backyard and it cut downed trees and limbs like butter. The blade is perfect, and the batteries lasted a good long time. The safety features are great, one to lock it out, and an extra button to start it up. It's lightweight so it feels safe to handle. The 16" blade was a great size for everything we needed to handle and we got the job done. ... show more

  • Fantastic, Light Weight, and Fully Functional
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
The weight and lack of noise are nice. The fact that it doesn't emit noxious fumes is a huge plus. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and holds a charge moderately well. This small chainsaw is perfect for a property owner with wooded areas to maintain. In my opinion this Makita saw is priced well and is easy to use for clearing unwanted trees. Five stars. ... show more

  • Quiet, Fast, Easy to Use, Batteries Last a Long Time, Assembly and Cleaning a Snap
Size: Kit with two 5.0Ah batteries
I bought the 16” kit with battery charger and the Makita lubricant oil. The lubricant oil is the only thing missing from the kit, which should be included, in my opinion. Purchasers of this kit or standalone chainsaw should make sure that they purchase the lubricant oil. Be aware that the lubricant oil is rather viscous, so leverage smaller funnels, rags, and towels so that loading the oil into the side of the chainsaw is less messy. This said, this was my first experience with a chainsaw and it was quite positive. Assembly and first charges of the batteries are fairly quick and intuitive for this unit. Getting used to the safety switch hand guard, as well as the back of the handle in use safety switch takes no time to master. The instruction manual is well written, though reading glasses may be required. My first job removing a Laurel bush/hedge with this could not have been easier or faster. Prior to using this device, a smaller hedge trimmer was leveraged to reduce the numbers of thinner branches (took about 35 minutes). 15 minutes after the lubricant oil was poured in and clean up, the first Laurel bush and a few of the larger branches of other bushes were removed. Took about 50 minutes for the cleanup. Using this chainsaw right-handed is a breeze, it is quite agile in tight spaces and the trigger throttle is quite responsive. The main thing is to press the joint of the body and chainsaw blade on the branch trunk that is to be cut, rather than halfway on the bottom of the chainsaw blade. The trunk of the Laurel bush was about 6” and took no time at all to be cut the larger branches to cut the trunk down to the ground. I split the last 6” of the trunk above the ground. The lubricant oil does not leak on my chainsaw at all. After the short amount of work very little lubricant oil and battery charge were used for this light bit of work. Cleanup of the Laurel bush and the chainsaw took much longer than the work itself. Makita made a wonderful device and I can’t recommend it enough. One thing I missed, it was quiet when going through the Laurel, much less noise than the hedge trimmer, by the by. ... show more

  • Mikita = Quality
Size: Kit with two 4.0Ah batteries
Chainsaw works great, small cut does the job but a 13” diameter tree probably about 5-6 cuts. It does the job well, great quality saw just make sure to have extra batteries on hand.

  • Possibly the best you can buy at this price range
Size: Kit with two 4.0Ah batteries
This Makita XCU04CM is possible the best battery powered chainsaw on the market. You need to know its limitations though. The 1st one I purchased, quite literally, caught on fire. What did I expect? I made the mistake in believing it was like a gas powered chain saw (which it is NOT). Here was my error: I took down a Yellow Pine that was at least 120' high. The trunk was at least 12" across. I cut it down because it was dead (eat up with bark beetles). This saw cut an incredible wedge. I was shocked when the tree fell with no issues! I was singing the praises of this saw until about 2/3 through the job. This saw was the complete boss but I was running it flat out for over an hour when it started smoking from the motor and I had to stop. I had killed my Makita! I made the mistake of running this saw TOO hard and TOO fast and with TOO much torque excerpted on the motor.. By the way, that saw was exchanged on warranty. It took about 3 months but, in the end, I got a brand new Makita! I just finished purchasing an identical saw to the 1st one. I have cut down at least 8 dead pine trees on my property (much smaller trees though). As long as you realize this Makita has to be semi-babied then it is a rock-solid device. ALSO, important, I've been greasing the chain bar with high temp grease. This keeps the saw from working too hard and, I hope, will extend the life. ... show more
