Makita 40V max XGT Top Handle Chain Saw Kit

Powered by one 40V XGT® battery for maximum power, speed and run-time, the 40V max XGT 12" Top Handle Chain Saw (GCU01) is easy to start by simply loading the 40V XGT® Battery and powering on. The GCU01 has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,882 FPM) for improved cutting performance.

It has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, no air filter or muffler to clean, and there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. The Makita-built brushless motor provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas top handle chain saw.

Other 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.
