18V X2 LXT Brushless Cordless 14 and 16" Top Handle Chain Saws are compact in size making them ideal for professional arborists and utility companies. The XCU08 and XCU09 are the most powerful cordless top handle chain saws currently available.
Both chain saws feature a Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor direct-drive system that provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas chain saw. Two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries deliver 36V of power and performance.
All that power is harnessed to cut up to 25% faster than gas chain saws. A variable speed trigger and high chain speed provide improved cutting performance. For even more power, the Torque Boost Mode helps the chain saw cut through thick and hard branches.
