The XCU04Z (Tool Only) has a 16" guide bar and the Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct drive system motor with variable speed delivers increased cutting speed.
It’s powered by two 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) for maximum power, speed, and run-time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. And with the efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with a direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a gas chain saw.
The XCU04Z has a 16" guide bar and the Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct drive system motor with variable speed delivers 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed. It has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean. And there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. Convenience features include a "tool-less" chain adjustments, a front hand guard engineered to actuate chain brake when engaged, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.
