Description

40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 16" Chain Saw, Tool Only

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 40V max XGT® Brushless 16" Chain Saw (GCU05Z).

With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the GCU05Z is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It's powered by one 40V XGT® 5.0Ah battery for power and long run time, and with the efficient Makita-built brushless motor users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a 42cc gas chain saw.

The GCU05Z has a 16" guide bar and Makita-built motor with a variable-speed trigger that delivers 0-5,020 FPM for increased cutting speed. 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.

Convenience features a captured bar nut and lateral chain tensioning for convenient operation and maintenance, adjustable automatic chain lubrication with large oil reservoir, and a large oil filling port with a view window that allows the operator to easily add and check bar oil level.

XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries. XGT® is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT® is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
