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 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 16” Chain Saw (XCU04PT1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU04PT1 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 XCU04PT1 has a 16” 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. 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.

This is a thin kerf, light duty chainsaw, it's not going to replace my Husky 16 inch gas but with that being said, it's actually a pretty capable lightweight little saw. The thin kerf I feel is Makita's way of getting the most out of the motor and it has a lot of torque for what it is. This isn't your aunt's plug in Black n Decker. It comes with an Oregon chain and you have to assemble it out of the box. Not maybe my only gripe is the novel bar tightener, it's a hub that uses the pull out handle to tighten down the bar, I do wonder how long the handle will last as you need to crank down fairly hard to hold the bar in place, but if that part can be replaced i am not to concerned. I popped the chain a couple of times before I found the sweet spot on how hard to crank it down and after that I had no issues. The tensioner is actually pretty cool, it;s a paddle wheel that is easy to use and better than the ones on gas saws. You loosen the hold down dial, turn the paddle wheel and re tighten the dial, easy. The drive sprocket could theoretically accommodate a thicker kerf chain and the bar looks like the same dimensions as an echo bar. Just a thought. The best part is that the system requires no tools at all. Now the saw feels kinda long compared to a 16 inch gas but it's also lighter so that allows me to hold it further out to do finer cuts. It has a good balance too. It;s trippy getting used to the fact that the chain stops so quick after you let go of the trigger not like my gas chains. The battery life is surprisingly long which i did not expect, I own 30 5 amp batteries so I personally don't care but having a second pair charged and ready is a good idea if you plant to use this all day. Oh and the oil system is awesome, not as goopy and messy as all of my gas saws. Probably the coolest part of this saw is how quiet it is compared to a gas saw, I mean, it's really quiet. I fired it up at 9 in the morning and couldn't imagine anyone complaining about it. In closing, I like this saw for what it is, a light duty little torque monster that can work it's way though wood around the size of your upper leg but I'm not trying to fell trees with it. Good for bucking and surprisingly nimble in the hands for finer pruning cuts. Edit: so I changed out the bar with an Echo 14inch bar and the thicker kerf chain and tackled a toppled 40 ft tree. Went through two pairs of batteries and the saw did fine. Still not quite as much torque as my echo cs 310 but still did fine. It's a lot quieter and no mixed gas ... show more

    • Exceeded my exceptions
Style: Chainsaw Kit
After much research I reluctantly bought the larger 36V 16in chain saw, gas always intimated me. (I'm 54 XY w/ disability) weight is great (even w/2 batteries). I can't be any happier with the investment. It's exactly what I needed. Lost count on the amount of trees I cut down. Most where 2 to 10" worked for 3hours and didn't even put a dent in the batteries, only had to tighten chain once, which was super easy. This is my 5 makita line power tools, and couldn't be more pleased. I was able to get bonus batteries w/ this, that made it easier to jump on this set up. Now I know how my hubby would get excited over power tools. ... show more

    • Rip and Tear until it is done.
Style: Chainsaw Kit
This chainsaw rules. I mean chainsawing is already pretty exciting and dangerous. But this one is silent while running. And it has instant-on torque. It takes standard chains, and has toolless adjustment. PRO: +that delicious Makita color. +compatible with all the other LXT batteries and whathaveyou. +Standard chain, easy to replace when you need to. +No need for tools for basic assembly, maintenance, and adjustment. +Silent at idle, which is very welcome to me. +Standard chainsaw controls, nothing unfamiliar to folks who have done some tree removal before. CON: -makes you feel like you should be fighting hordes of demons rather than trimming a hearty bush or eliminating a small tree. Doomguy would be proud of how quickly you can deploy this thing, but bored with only sawing wood. -sawing is loud and you should wear personal protective equipment. You don't want woodchips in your eyes. -NO OIL IN THE BOX. seriously, you get a brand new saw, and you already have batteries, but, it needs oil and you didn't get any. Talk about making me grumpy in the first 30 seconds. ... show more

Decided to test the saw today. I cut just shy of a truckload of wood. 3 Fills of the Side by Side. The saw cut well and the batteries lasted actually better than expected. I never actually ran till they stopped each time. I did. I only found one issue; but, it is just info about the saw. It has safety like all the Makita line where if it can't turn it won't While cutting the chain came off ( My fault waited a cut to long to retighten.) but it did minor damage to the chain itself. A few of the chain guides that run in the blade were scuffed just enough to make them to wide to fit comfortable back into the blade. So when I tried to run the saw after the safety wouldn't let it turn. ( a gas engine would have. ) I had to take the chain and clean up the damaged points. and then returned to work. I an really pleased with the performance. ... show more

    • Great value, great tool.
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I was more than a little skeptical that a battery powered chain saw would be useful for anything more than light pruning, but this Makita really surprised me. I've had Makita LXT powered tools for a long time, long enough that some of the batteries would no longer take a charge. About that time, a friend purchased one of these chainsaws and mentioned the two free battery offer he used. This saw uses two batteries, so it made sense to have four on hand so a pair could be recharging while the other pair were in the saw. And the included charger takes two batteries at a time, another good idea that saves time. There are a lot of trees here, mostly oak and manzanita, a lot of them standing dead wood left by a wildfire that swept through a few years ago. I've been using gas powered chainsaws to clean up the mess, which have been working well, but you still have to deal with mixing gas and oil, cleaning air filters, and fooling around adjusting the chains. Then there's the problem with flooding and fouled plugs, and other issues that make a gas saw somewhat less than reliable. All of that goes away with this Makita. When the batteries wear down, just pop them out and drop in another pair. Put the old pair in the charger, and they'll be ready to go again in about 45 minutes. The way I've been using the saw, for limbing wood diameters of a few inches, 45 minutes is about how long a battery charge lasts. But I've also tackled a few trunks in the 12" to 16" range, and as long as I didn't try to really load the saw down, it worked fine. BTW, my gas saw has an 18" bar on it, so I picked up an 18" bar from Oregon and now both those saws use the same chains. But it's rare that I reach for the gas saw anymore. Another thing I like is I'm able to adjust chain tension without tools. That saves a lot of time right there. Less time fiddling with the saw and looking for the tool, more time running it. Now if Makita would only make a bigger version that runs on a pair of the new 40V batteries, I could put my other gas saw out to pasture, too. ... show more

    • Great for home use
Style: Chainsaw Kit
I used this saw for about three hours this morning for the first time. I was intermittently hauling limbs then cutting more limbs or logs. The batteries lasted the entire time. It is so nice to be able to put down the saw and it not be running as a gas saw would. The largest oak limb I cut was about 8 inches in diameter and it was no problem to cut. It used about a quarter of the bar oil. The chain jumped off the bar once when I hit a vine and the chain catcher worked perfectly. The saw is light and easy to maneuver between limbs and branches. For my home use this saw is exactly what I need. Highly recommended. ... show more
