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® 12” Top Handle Chain Saw Kit (XCU10SM1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered chain saws, the XCU10SM1 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. The compact top-handle design makes it ideal for the professional tree care industry.

Powered by one 18V LXT® Battery, the chain saw is easy to start by simply loading the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and powering on. 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.
