It’s powered by two 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) for maximum power， speed， and run-time， but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. And with the efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with a direct drive system， users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a gas chain saw.

The XCU04Z has a 16" guide bar and the Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct drive system motor with variable speed delivers 0-3，940 FPM for increased cutting speed. It has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change， no spark plug to replace， and no air filter or muffler to clean. And there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. Convenience features include a "tool-less" chain adjustments， a front hand guard engineered to actuate chain brake when engaged， an electric brake for maximum productivity， and more.
