Product Detail
DETAILS: This kit includes a 40V max XGT® brushless 18' chain saw, a GLC02Z 40V max XGT brushless cordless 4 - speed compact stick vacuum (tool only with dust bag), a 40V max XGT® 5.0Ah battery, a 40V max XGT® rapid optimum charger, and some additional items (E - 18225 and E - 18231). FEATURES: The Makita - built brushless motor offers the power of a 42cc gas chain saw. It has a 27% faster chain speed at 5,020 FPM. With a 40V max XGT® 5.0Ah battery, it can make up to 40 cuts in 12' diameter cedar. It's cordless, so no gas, emissions, oil mixing, or pull starts. It runs quietly and requires less maintenance, reducing operating costs and downtime. The 'tool - less' chain adjustment makes operation and maintenance a breeze. The variable speed trigger and high chain speed improve cutting performance. The adjustable automatic chain lubrication with a large oil reservoir and a large oil filling port with a view window make it easy to manage the bar oil level. The rubberized soft grip top handle helps you apply even cutting pressure. It comes with an 18' sprocket nose guide bar and a 3/8' low - profile pitch, .050' gauge chain. The IPX4 weather - resistant construction and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) ensure durability and resistance to dust and water. The XGT® system has digital communication that monitors and protects against overload, over - discharge, and overheating. XGT® tools and batteries have a multi - layer contact interface for constant power delivery and rigid rails for secure attachment. The XGT® rapid charger with a dual - fan design cools the battery and circuit board quickly for faster charging.

Landscapers and contractors are looking for cordless alternatives to gas - powered outdoor equipment, and Makita's 40V max XGT® brushless cordless 18' chain saw fits the bill. It offers zero emissions, lower noise, and less maintenance. Powered by a single 40V max XGT® battery, it provides high power, speed, and run - time. The efficient brushless motor offers power equivalent to a 42cc gas chain saw. It has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed for better cutting, and Active Feedback - Sensing Technology (AFT®) to turn off the motor if the attachment rotation stops suddenly. It also has a built - in L.E.D. on/off switch with an auto power - off function. The XGT® system allows users to transition to a cordless job site with high - power performance.
Using the Makita 40V Max XGT 18' Chain Saw Kit is easy. First, insert the 40V max XGT® 5.0Ah battery into the chain saw. Then, check the oil level in the large oil reservoir through the view window on the oil filling port and add oil if needed. Turn on the saw using the L.E.D. on/off switch. You can use the variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your needs. When using the vacuum, just connect it to the battery and start cleaning. Remember, always wear appropriate safety gear like gloves and goggles. Avoid using the saw in extremely wet conditions, even though it has weather - resistant construction. Don't force the saw during cutting. If the rotation of the attachment suddenly stops, the Active Feedback - Sensing Technology (AFT®) will turn off the motor. For maintenance, use the 'tool - less' chain adjustment to keep the chain in good condition. Regularly clean the saw and the vacuum to remove dust. Charge the battery using the XGT® rapid charger, and make sure to store the battery in a cool and dry place when not in use.
