There is growing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 40V XGT® 12” Top Handle Chain Saw (GCU01M1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered chain saws, the GCU01M1 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It is ideal for use by a professional arborist with up to 25% faster speed than equivalent gas-powered saws, with a high power-to-weight ratio designed for in-tree work. Powered by one 40V XGT® battery for maximum power, speed and run-time, the GCU01M1 is easy to start by simply loading the 40V XGT® Battery and powering on. The GCU01M1 has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,882 FPM) for improved cutting performance. It has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, no air filter or muffler to clean, and there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. The Makita-built brushless motor provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas top handle chain saw. Other convenience features include adjustable automatic chain lubrication, built-on lock-off lever to help prevent the chain from accidentally engaging, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more. 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.
