There's a growing need for cordless alternatives to gas - powered outdoor tools. Makita's 40V XGT® 16" Top Handle Chain Saw (GCU03M1) meets this demand. It has zero emissions, less noise, and much less maintenance than gas - powered saws, making it great for cutting and trimming. Ideal for professional arborists, it's up to 25% faster than equivalent gas saws and has a high power - to - weight ratio for in - tree work. Powered by a single 40V XGT® battery, it's easy to start. The variable - speed trigger and high chain speed improve cutting. It has zero emissions and low maintenance, with no engine oil changes, spark plug replacements, air filter or muffler cleaning, and no need to drain fuel for storage. XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers using 40v max lithium - ion batteries, engineered for high - power, high - demand applications, enabling a transition to a cordless job site.
Using the Makita 40V Max XGT 16" Chain Saw is easy. First, load the 40V XGT® Battery into the saw and power it on. When using the saw, hold it firmly and use the variable - speed trigger to control the cutting speed. The saw is suitable for cutting and trimming applications, especially great for professional arborists working in trees. Remember to use the lock - off lever to prevent accidental chain engagement.
For maintenance, regularly check the chain tension using the lateral chain tensioning feature. The adjustable automatic chain lubrication helps keep the chain running smoothly, but make sure to check the oil level through the view window on the large oil - filling port and add oil as needed. After use, clean the saw and store it in a dry place. Avoid using the saw in extremely wet conditions, although it has IPX4 weather - resistant construction.
When using the included GLC02Z 40V Max XGT Stick Vacuum, simply attach the battery and start vacuuming. Empty the dust bag regularly for optimal performance. Store the battery in a cool, dry place and follow the charger's instructions to charge it properly.
