Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 40V max XGT® Brushless 18” Chain Saw (GCU04). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the GCU04 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by one 40V XGT® battery for power and longer run time, and with the efficient Makita-built brushless motor users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a 42cc gas chain saw.
