Makita XCU04PT 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 16-Inch Chainsaw Kit

The Makita XCU04PT 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 16-Inch Chainsaw Kit is an outdoor power equipment cutting system engineered to deliver 32cc gas-engine equivalent cutting force for arborists, landscapers, and forestry contractors. Driven by an outer rotor brushless motor direct-drive system producing variable chain speeds up to 3,940 FPM, this 11.1-pound rear-handle saw features a 16-inch guide bar with a 3/8-inch LP pitch and .043-inch gauge chain. Powered by two 18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries without leaving the 18V battery ecosystem, this high-performance timber cutting kit solves gas-engine pull starts, fuel mixing, exhaust emissions, and restrictive cord length challenges on demanding jobsites.

Best Used For:

  • Commercial Tree Trimming & Bucking: Cutting downed timber, thick tree limbs, and logs cleanly with zero gas exhaust emissions.
  • Storm Damage Cleanup & Land Clearing: Clearing fallen trees and dense brush quickly using high 3,940 FPM chain velocity without engine maintenance.
  • Noise-Sensitive Utility Pruning: Executing municipal landscaping and residential tree pruning near schools, hospitals, and quiet neighborhood zones.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Outer Rotor BL Brushless Direct Drive System: Provides high power efficiency equal to a 32cc gas-powered chainsaw without engine oil, spark plugs, or carburetors.
  • Tool-less Chain Tensioning Assembly: Enables rapid on-the-fly bar adjustment and chain replacement without requiring external wrenches or screwdrivers.
  • Built-In Electric & Mechanical Chain Brakes: Front hand guard actuates the mechanical safety chain brake immediately, backed by an instant electric motor stop.
  • Adjustable Automatic Chain Oiler: Features a large oil reservoir with a sight view window so operators can meter lubrication based on wood hardness.
  • Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Internal protective seals divert water spray and fine sawdust away from core motor windings and electronics.
  • Star Protection Computer Controls: Monitors operational current draw, cell voltage, and thermal levels to prevent overload, over-discharge, and overheating.
