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. Its 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.
