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 LXT Brushless 10 In. Top Handle Chain Saw (model XCU06Z). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU06Z is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications, and the compact top-handle design makes it ideal for the professional tree care industry. Powered by one 18V LXT battery (sold separately) for maximum power, speed and run-time, the XCU06Z uses 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 XCU06Z has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,720 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, and no air filter or muffler to clean. And there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. Simply load the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery (sold separately), and the saw is ready to use. 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.

This chainsaw is controlled electronically. No mechanical adjustments except for blade tension. Sounds like you have electrical problem.
The chain slows very fast on this model because of the electric motor setup. If it won't cut, you might have a dull or damaged blade. Also, make sure you have clean lubricant in the reservoir. I've noticed that this isn't super powerful but it gets the job done for smaller branches. If there is no obvious takeaways after looking it over I would find a repair shop that can do Makita warranties. Makita has always honored warranties on my tools.
It sounds like your battery is getting hot. Try swapping it with a fresh one.
Yes. The saw is very agile and light weight. But it is limited in power due to battery life. As long as you don't "push" the saw to cut faster than it does on its own natural pace, you can get perhaps 20 minutes of constant cutting. 5" limbs will work well but not fast. Great tool for what it is meant to due...small jobs, not needing to lug a big heavy gas chainsaw. I love this saw, but I use my Magnum Stihl for big jobs.
