Makita GCU02Z XGT 14 in. 40V max Brushless Battery Top Handle Electric Chainsaw (Tool Only)

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 40V XGT 14″ Top Handle Chain Saw (GCU02Z). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered chain saws, the GCU02Z is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It is ideal for use by a professional arborist with up to 25% faster speed than equivalent gas-powered saws, with a high power-to-weight ratio designed for in-tree work.Powered by one 40V XGT battery for maximum power, speed and run-time, the GCU02Z is easy to start by simply loading the 40V XGT Battery and powering on. The GCU02Z has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,882 FPM) for improved cutting performance.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. The Makita-built brushless motor provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas top handle chain saw.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.
