Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless 16in Top Handle Chain Saw Kit
Product Overview
The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 16in Top Handle Chain Saw Kit is a professional cordless chainsaw designed for arborists, tree-care professionals, landscapers, and other users who need dependable cutting performance without a gas engine. The XCU09PT combines two 18V LXT batteries to deliver 36V-class power through a Makita-built outer-rotor brushless motor and direct-drive system. Makita rates its performance as equivalent to a 30cc gas-powered top-handle chainsaw.
Its compact top-handle configuration is designed for professional tree-care applications, while the high chain speed, torque boost mode, and lateral chain-tensioning system help provide efficient cutting and chain retention. The cordless design also eliminates fuel mixing, exhaust emissions, spark plugs, and routine engine maintenance.
Key Features
36V (18V X2) LXT Power: Uses two 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries to provide 36V-class performance while remaining within Makita's 18V LXT battery platform.
Brushless Direct-Drive Motor: Makita's outer-rotor brushless motor delivers efficient power directly to the chain without a traditional gas engine.
Professional Top-Handle Design: Built specifically for professional tree-care applications where a compact saw configuration is advantageous.
16-Inch Guide Bar: Provides increased cutting capacity for branches and limbs compared with shorter top-handle saws.
High Chain Speed: Delivers up to 3,940 FPM (20 m/s) for fast cutting performance.
Torque Boost Mode: Provides additional power when cutting through dense material.
Lateral Chain Tensioning: Makes chain adjustment more convenient while the dual-stud design helps maintain chain retention.
Electric Chain Brake: Helps stop the chain quickly when the brake is activated.
Automatic Chain Oiler: Provides automatic lubrication to the chain during operation.
Low-Maintenance Operation: No gasoline, fuel mixing, spark plug, air filter, or engine oil is required.
XPT™ Extreme Protection Technology: Designed to improve resistance to dust and water in demanding outdoor conditions.
Star Protection Computer Controls™: Helps protect the tool and battery from overloading, overheating, and over-discharging.
Built for Tree-Care Professionals
The top-handle configuration gives the XCU09PT a compact profile suited to professional arborist work. Its 16-inch bar provides additional cutting capacity, while the direct-drive brushless motor and high chain speed are designed to maintain strong cutting performance.
For demanding cuts, Torque Boost Mode can provide additional power when the saw encounters denser material. The combination of cordless operation and reduced maintenance also makes the saw easier to deploy than a comparable gas-powered model.
