About This Product

There is growing demand for 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) Cordless 16 In. Top Handle Chain Saw Kit (model XCU09PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered chain saws, the XCU09PT is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. The compact top-handle design makes it ideal for the professional tree care industry. Powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum power, speed and run-time, the XCU09PT is easy to start by simply loading the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries and powering on. The XCU09PT has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-3,940 FPM) for increased cutting speed, with torque boost mode for cutting dense material. It has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, no air filter or muffler to clean and there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. With the Makita Outer Rotor Brushless Motor with direct-drive system, users get high power efficiency. Other convenience features include adjustable automatic chain lubrication, built-on lock-off lever to help prevent the chain from accidentally engaging, an electric brake for maximum productivity and more.

Highlights

  • Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas chain saw
  • Variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-3,940 FPM) for improved cutting performance

  • Two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries deliver 36V power and performance without leaving the 18V LXT platform

                    I bought this battery pack for $289 to get the chain saw as free tool. I thought it was pretty good deal.
                    by
                    Awesome form factor, easy to use. It has limits, but they're common sense. Powerful enough for small trees and medium-sized branches, and frankly I'm not comfortable taking down large trees anyway, so it's great for me.
                    by
                    I use these two batteries mainly for Makita blower. Charging is ok with my old Makita charger. So for there is no any issue at all.

                    I recently picked up the Makita LXT 12 in. 18V Brushless Top Handle Chainsaw Kit (4.0Ah) from Home Depot, and it has exceeded my expectations. Even though it’s compact and lightweight, it has plenty of power for pruning, storm cleanup, and cutting small to medium limbs. The brushless motor is smooth and surprisingly quiet compared to gas saws, which makes it a lot more pleasant to use around the yard. The 4.0Ah battery included in the kit gives me a solid amount of runtime for the kind of work I do. I really like that it’s part of the LXT system, since I already have a few Makita tools and can share batteries when needed.

                    Dull chainsaw makes minuscule cuts. Handsaw did it much faster.
                    Dull!!!!! No matter how hard to was pressing, the chainsaw made minuscule cuts. After about 15 minutes of straining myself, I went back to my handsaw, which managed to do a much better job than this Makita wonder saw. I am returning it tomorrow. Extremely disappointed.

                      I purchased this to use for some light tree work on property we bought as well as on overlanding trails blocked with trees. I have used it a few times and pleased with its performance and the run time on 2- 5ah batteries.

                      Very impressive battery saw.
                      Awesome little saw. Plenty of power and high chain speed makes for a clean smooth cut. The battery life was better than I expected for single jobs or trail clearing. It is designed and functions like a proper top handle chainsaw unlike some of the goofy designs of other brands.

                      I am impressed with how long these 5ah batteries last. If you only have these two you will be able to charge one full before the other ones needs charging.

                        I really like the Makita line of tools great quality and reliability. These batteries are great they last a long time because of how the charger keeps them cool while charging. I got them a great price.
