Makita 40V Max XGT 18 in. Rear Handle Chainsaw TLC Kit
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 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 18 in. Chain Saw. With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the GCU06 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications.
It’s powered by one 40V max XGT battery for maximum power, speed, and run-time. With the efficient Makita brushless motor, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a 42cc gas chain saw. The digital communication within XGT optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications
It features a variable speed trigger and a high chain speed (0-5,020 FPM) for improved cutting performance and is equipped with Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT) which electronically turns off the motor if the rotation of the attachment is suddenly forced to stop.
Convenience features include tool-less chain adjustment for convenient operation and maintenance, adjustable automatic chain lubrication with a large oil reservoir, and a large oil filling port with a view window that allows the operator to easily add and check the bar oil level. It also features a rubberized soft grip top handle that is engineered for the user to easily apply more even cutting pressure.
It has a built-in L.E.D. on/off switch with auto power-off function which automatically shuts the saw off when an operation is delayed for extended battery life. Included with the saw itself are an 18 in. sprocket nose guide bar and 3/8 in. low profile pitch, 0.050 in.-gauge chain. It features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) engineered for improved dust and water resistance.
XGT is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
