Product Description

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Chain Saw Kit (model XCU03PT). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the XCU03PT is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s 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 XCU03PT 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. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system 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.

I found the Makita 14" battery powered chainsaw fun to use and much less hassle than any of the 3 gasoline powered saws I've owned over the years, and they were all well respected brands.

I dropped a 12" maple with a lot of top growth. I easily took care of the top and cut up the trunk and large branches into stove-length logs, all in about an hour. The saw handles like a dream in the brush and I never encountered the problem with the saw turning off that was described by some of the other buyers.

I do have a major gripe however. The directions for assembling the bar and chain to the saw are absolutely horrible. This assembly process is quite different from the process one would use to put a bar and chain on a typical gas powered saw, so clear instructions are important. First, the print in the manual is tiny. You need excellent light to read it, and then it's still a challenge. Second, the instructions for the assembly process are ungrammatical and unclear, bordering on incomprehensible. I would think a large company like Makita that sells a lot of products in the U.S. could afford to hire an English speaking technical writer to do a respectable job in creating a good user manual. This manual is a disgrace.

The diagrams too are misleading and unclear. Numbers are used to link illustrations of parts to their names; then in the same paragraphs, the steps in the directions are numbered. The reader is immediately confused about the meaning of the numbers. It took me longer to put the bar and chain on the saw than it did to fell and cut up that maple.

It's been a long time since I've handled a chainsaw professionally, and nothing I'm doing on my 2/3 of an acre involves long run times. I've used this thing a few times now and at least for a household saw I'm never going back to gas. I was already invested in Makita battery powered tools, so once I decided I was going to buy an electric saw, there wasn't much decision making to do about which one. I've never once regretted my choice to go with Makita, and that continues to be true. My longest session was about a half an hour of bucking up a good sized brush pile. I didn't even use a half a tank of bar oil, I felt like I was moving through it quickly, the saw was easy to handle, I loved the lack of engine vibration, and I definitely didn't miss standing in a cloud of 2 stroke exhaust. At the end of that session, the saw was still going strong, so I can't directly speak to battery life, but I can charge a dead pair of 5 Ah Makita batteries to full in about 45 minutes and I get to 80% in about 30 minutes, so I'm pretty sure I can keep the saw moving constantly with one extra set of batteries cycling onto the charger and I'm positive I can do it with two extra sets.

It was also easy to handle for felling a black walnut tree that decided to pop up a few years back in an inconvenient spot. Black walnut grows FAST around here and the wood is quite hard. This saw cut through it like butter.

We'll see how it holds up over time, but if every other Makita tool I've ever owned is an indication, I expect it will be good. I've never done any repairs on any of my Makita LXT tools and they all still work perfectly. I did have one of their prosumer grade drills once upon a time. That lasted me a couple years of professional duty use before it gave up the ghost, but for $40 second hand with an LXT compatible charger and battery (both of which are still going) I still don't think I've ever gone wrong buying Makita.

I got this to do some small trees around my yard. Overall, I love that it can cut pretty well with good technique, but it requires an excessive amount of recharging, thus not having the performance time to do more than a few things at a time. One nice thing is the fact that it can take a different chains and bars and it's easy to swap out. Tightening rhe chain can still become a task that leads to sore thumbs.

To summarize:
Pros:
-Strong chainsaw for its size. Can quite quite nicely.
-reasonably easy to use, and as with any quality tool comes with good documentation.
-Easy to change between bar sizes.
-Good display to show remaining battery life.

Cons:
-pretty short battery life, most useful for very small jobs around the house, but may need more than one set of batteries to jump around for a single job. Might be worth forking over the $130 for another pair of batteries.
-chain tightening done by a thumb mechanism can lead to sore thumbs quickly.

Great part-time saw...
I never had a reason to consider a chain saw, I recently needed one to fell small trees, shrubs occasionally [tired of hand sawing!]. I will sometimes use on a job site without power and did not want a corded unit that would require me to tote a generator. I wanted a quiet saw b/c a lot of what we do in infill residential construction and I try not to piss-off the neighbors. I also did not want to have to maintain an 'engine'...plugs, oil/fuel, leaking all over etc. Once again a tool that is gonna get used a few times each season, more convenience than hand sawing...

I already 'bought' into the Makita 18v system years ago and have been nothing but pleased, so it was natural that I looked at the battery operated units they have. I was impressed with the fact that guys are using them to trim glue-lams in the field with it.

Well I bought it and it is simple to assemble and use, the blade tightening procedure is easy. Though I think it dispenses too much oil, I will need to adjust. It is a strong runner and takes down smaller diameter trees with ease. Initially I was using 3.0 Ah batteries which it drains super-quick. I ordered some 6.0 Ah batteries and we will see if that extends the run time. I will post an update.

Bottom line if cordless makes the most sense for you as it did for me than you should consider this one.

If the chain is sharp, and you have 2 5.0ah batteries, this thing rips.

It wont run unless you have 2 batteries in it (any makita, even smaller ones) but with 2 1.5ah batteries, it is dead after a half a dozen cuts though 12" round spruce logs.
