Landscapers and contractors need more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor equipment. Makita's 40V max XGT® brushless 16-inch chain saw (GCU05M1) meets this demand. With zero emissions, lower noise, and less maintenance, it's perfect for cutting and trimming. Powered by a 40V XGT® 5.0Ah battery, it offers long run time and high power efficiency. The 16-inch guide bar and variable-speed trigger provide a cutting speed of 0 - 5,020 FPM. It has no engine oil changes, spark plug replacements, or air filter and muffler cleanings. There's also no need to drain fuel for storage. Convenient features include lateral chain tensioning, captured bar nuts, adjustable automatic chain lubrication, and a built-in LED on/off switch with an auto power-off function. XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers using 40V max lithium-ion batteries, engineered for high-power, high-demand applications, allowing a full transition to a cordless job site.
Using the Makita 40V Max XGT 16-Inch Cordless Chain Saw Kit is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the chain saw. Then, check the oil level in the chain saw's reservoir and add oil if needed. When starting the saw, hold it firmly with both hands, one on the top handle and the other on the side handle. Use the variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your needs. For the included stick vacuum cleaner, just turn it on and start cleaning up the debris.
Here are some important notes. Always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles, gloves, and ear protection when using the chain saw. Don't operate the saw in wet or rainy conditions unless it's an emergency and you know the saw has IPX4 weather - resistant construction. When not in use, store the battery in a cool, dry place.
For maintenance, regularly check the chain tension and adjust it using the 'tool - less' adjustment feature. Clean the air filter and the bar and chain regularly. After each use, empty the dust bag of the vacuum cleaner. Also, periodically inspect the battery and charger for any signs of damage. With proper use and maintenance, your Makita chain saw and vacuum cleaner will serve you well for a long time.
