XCU03PT1
Description
Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to corded and gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless Chain Saw Kit (model XCU03PT1).
With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the Chain Saw is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. The Makita XCU03PT1 is powered by two 18V LXT batteries for 36V power and run time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. And with the efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a gas chain saw.
The Makita XCU03PT1 Chain Saw has a 14" guide bar and the Makita-built motor with variable speed delivers 0-3,940 FPM for increased cutting speed, but with less noise (only 100dB(A)). 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. Simply pick it up, load two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries, and the saw is ready to use.
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. Model XCU03PT1 is a kit and includes the Chain Saw, four fast-charging 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger.

Notable Amazon Review(s)
"This Makita XCU03PT1 Cordless ChainSaw is a high quality, strong performer, smartly designed, solid, tool. Performance is great, CLEAN, easy to adjust chain, and bar oil filling was also easy, battery power source duration of use is good for batteries, and Cordless does not make it a weak, gimmicky, or a ‘Pretty’ tool it makes it extremely maneuverable with a solid power system.
As for the issue about the auto-shut off, I found it to be a smart safety item for the type and situations I find myself working in. My only con is the button is a little hard to push with gloves on… perhaps a drop of JB weld on top would make it easier to locate and push.
I don’t need to wear hearing protection (30 plus years on the Flightline with USAF Fighter Aircraft) hearing protection is something I believe is a smart personal protective item. I’m all in with this Makita saw and most Makita tools."
"The Makita XCU03PT1 saw is great for light to medium duty use. Batteries last long enough to get you to the next break time and with a quick change to freshly charged batteries you can continue non stop. The only cons I have is that the chains come off easily even with a snug fit. And when it does you can count on damage to the drive link rakes which entails getting out a file and smoothing them down so they will go back into the bar. VERY annoying. It has to be done because if you force the chain into the bar the motor does not have enough power to spin the chain."
