This chain saw offers a clean, quiet, and low - maintenance solution for cutting and trimming. It's part of Makita's extensive 18V Lithium - Ion system, known for fast - charging batteries. And it can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with Star Protection.
Using the Makita XCU07Z chain saw is easy. First, make sure you have two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion batteries (sold separately) and insert them into the tool. You're now ready to start cutting. When using the saw, hold it firmly with the rubberized soft - grip top handle and use the variable - speed trigger to control the cutting speed.
Here are some important notes. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the tool works properly and to maintain the warranty. Don't operate the saw in extremely wet or dusty conditions without considering the XPT™ protection. Also, be careful when handling the chain as it can be sharp.
For maintenance, regularly check the chain tension using the lateral chain tensioning feature. Make sure to keep the oil reservoir filled with bar oil. You can easily check the oil level through the view window on the large oil - filling port. After each use, clean the saw to remove any debris. And remember, the Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to protect the tool from overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating, but you should still operate the tool within its recommended limits.
