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” Top Handle Chain Saw (model XCU06SM1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU06SM1 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications, and the compact top-handle design makes it ideal for the professional tree care industry.
