With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU06Z is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications, and the compact top-handle design makes it ideal for the professional tree care industry.
Powered by one 18V LXT battery (sold separately) for maximum power, speed, and run-time, the XCU06Z uses 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 XCU06Z has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,720 FPM) for increased cutting speed, with torque boost mode for cutting dense material. Convenience features include adjustable automatic chain lubrication, a built-in lock-off lever to help prevent the chain from accidentally engaging, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.
