The 18V X2 LXT® Chain Saw (XCU02PM) is powered by two 18V LXT® batteries (36V), so you get 36V power and run time for corded and gas-powered demands, without leaving the 18V LXT® platform. The XCU02PM is a kit and includes two fast-charging 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. It has a 12” guide bar and a Makita-built motor with 1,650 FPM, but less noise at only 89dB(A). The XCU02PM has zero emissions and reduced maintenance with no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, and no air filter or muffler to clean. Simply pickup your XCU02PM, load two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries, and the saw is ready to use. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
