The digital communication within the XGT system optimizes performance, providing up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications.

Equipped with a variable speed trigger and a high chain speed of 0-5,020 FPM, the GCU06 ensures improved cutting performance. It features Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT), which automatically turns off the motor if the rotation of the attachment is suddenly forced to stop, enhancing user safety. Convenience features of the GCU06T1 Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 18” Chain Saw Kit (5.0Ah) include tool-less chain adjustment for easy operation and maintenance, adjustable automatic chain lubrication with a large oil reservoir, and a large oil filling port with a view window for easy oil level checking. The rubberized soft grip top handle is ergonomically designed to provide comfortable handling and allows for precise cutting pressure.

The built-in L.E.D. on/off switch includes an auto power-off function, shutting off the saw when there is a delay in operation, thereby extending battery life. The package includes an 18” sprocket nose guide bar and a 3/8” low profile pitch, .050” gauge chain for versatile cutting applications. The GCU06 features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), engineered for improved dust and water resistance, ensuring durability even in challenging environments. As part of the XGT system, this chain saw utilizes 40V max lithium-ion batteries, enabling users to transition to a cordless job site and tackle high-demand applications. The advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features of XGT make it a reliable and long-lasting choice.

The GCU06T1 Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 18” Chain Saw Kit (5.0Ah) includes not only the chain saw but also a 3-year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger.
