Features and Benefits:

• Compact top handle design ideal for pruning, trimming and limbing
• Makita-built Outer Rotor BLT Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides power equivalent to a 22cc gas chain saw
• Up to 175 cuts in 2x2 cedar with 18V LXTr 5.0Ah battery (battery not included)
• Torque boost mode for cutting dense material
• Captured bar nut and lateral chain tensioning for convenient operation and maintenance

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. 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 load the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery (sold separately), and the saw is ready to use. Convenience features include adjustable automatic chain lubrication, built-on lock-off lever to help prevent the chain from accidentally engaging, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.
