Product Description
This Makita chain saw kit is a game - changer for landscapers and contractors seeking cordless outdoor power solutions. Included in the kit are an 18V X2 (36V) LXT® Brushless 14 - inch Chain Saw (XCU03Z), four 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B), an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Dual Port Charger (DC18RD), a 14 - inch Guide Bar 3/8 - 0.043, a chain, and a guide bar cover. The Makita - built outer rotor BL Brushless Motor direct - drive system offers high power efficiency, on par with a 32cc gas chain saw. With a variable speed trigger and a high chain speed of 0 - 3,940 FPM, it ensures excellent cutting performance. The tool - less chain adjustment makes operation and maintenance a breeze. A built - in lock - off lever prevents accidental chain engagement. The L.E.D. on/off switch has an auto power - off function, saving battery life. Two 18V LXT Lithium - Ion batteries provide power without leaving the popular 18V platform. The front hand guard activates the chain brake when engaged. It has a 14 - inch guide bar for greater capacity, low noise, and zero emissions for operator comfort. Weighing only 11.5 lbs with batteries, it reduces operator fatigue. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) offers enhanced dust and water resistance. An electric brake boosts productivity. The rubberized soft - grip top handle helps apply even cutting pressure. A large oil filling port with a view window allows easy oil level checking. Adjustable automatic chain lubrication with a large oil reservoir is another plus. The L.E.D. battery indicators show the charge level of each 18V LXT battery. The 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B has an integrated charge level indicator and provides up to 65% more run - time per charge than the 3.0Ah battery BL1830.
Using this Makita chain saw kit is easy. First, load two 18V LXT Lithium - Ion batteries into the saw. Make sure the chain is properly adjusted using the tool - less adjustment feature. Check the oil level through the view window on the large oil filling port and add oil if needed. To start cutting, press the L.E.D. on/off switch. You can control the cutting speed with the variable speed trigger. When you're done, the saw will automatically turn off after a delay to save battery life. For safety, always keep your hands away from the chain. The front hand guard will activate the chain brake if it's engaged, but be careful anyway. The built - in lock - off lever is there to prevent the chain from starting accidentally, so use it. To maintain the saw, regularly check the chain tension and sharpness. Clean the saw after each use, especially if you've been working in dusty or wet conditions. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), it can handle tough environments, but it's still a good idea to keep it clean. Also, make sure to charge the batteries fully after each use. The 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries are great as they last longer and have charge indicators, so you'll know when it's time to charge them.
