The XCU10 can cut faster than a 22cc gas chain saw, without the hassles of gas.

December 15, 2021, La Mirada, CA –Makita U.S.A., Inc., the innovation leader in cordless power tool technology and outdoor power equipment, has launched the 18V LXT^® Brushless Cordless 12” Top Handle Chain Saw (XCU10). This compact, battery-powered chain saw is ideal for professional arborists and utility companies.

The XCU10 features a Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor direct-drive system that provides power equivalent to a 22cc gas chain saw. Using one 4.0Ah battery, the XCU10 can make up to 150 cuts in a 2x2 cedar. For additional power, the Torque Boost Mode helps the chainsaw cut through thick and hard branches.

Features

The new Makita^® LXT Cordless Top Handle Chain Saw is packed with features designed for professional usage. The captured guide bar nut and lateral chain tensioning offer convenient operation and maintenance. Users can automatically adjust chain lubrication with a large oil reservoir. A large oil filling port with view window allows the user to easily add and check bar oil level. The 3/8” LP, .43” sprocket nose guide bar and chain provide precise cutting.

The chain saws also feature Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT^™). XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Makita Products equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
