Product Description

There is growing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 18V LXT Brushless 10” Top Handle Chain Saw (model XCU06Z). 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 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. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nimble yet powerful
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2022
We have a Ryobi chainsaw on a stick, an EGO chainsaw and a Stihl Farmboss with 32" bar. The Makita XCU06C is now our go-to saw for quick clean up. It is super light weight and really quite unbelievably powerful. Sure the chain is new and sharp, but I have been cutting and trimming mesquite trees for days and it cuts them with ease - up to a point. That point is near 7" with green wood. (see pic). The saw overheated about 3/4 through the branch. I let it cool, then took it the rest of the way. The 5AHr battery was freshly charged. This is more than ample for my needs. If I need to go bigger, I will grab the larger saw.

This saw is very light and very easy to haul up and down a ladder. Easy to put on the branch and quick to cut through. A word of caution: it is so light, it can be dangerous to move swiftly from branch to branch. You need to exercise caution so you don't end up cutting yourself. It also throws chips a good ways. Make sure to wear safety glasses - especially when cutting above your head. I highly recommend this saw.
