Makita GCU08E 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 20" Chain Saw Kit, with High Power Battery (8.0Ah)

The 40V max XGT® 20" Chain Saw (GCU08) delivers the power of a 50cc gas rear handle chain saw designed with high chain speed (5,700 FPM). The GCU08 cuts up to 25% faster than a 50cc gas chain saw. It features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) & IPX4M rating, engineered for use in rainy conditions*.

The 20” Chain Saw features tactile controls with a 3-mode button that allows the user to adjust the chain speed. It also eliminates pull starts by having an easily accessible on/off power button. It also features a display panel with 6 LED indicators that allows for instant tool status check and chain speed monitoring.

The GCU08 features a variable trigger and 3 chain speeds (3,937/ 4,823/ 5,700 FPM) for improved speed control and cutting performance. Included with the GCU08 is a 20" sprocket nose guide bar and .325" low profile pitch, .050" gauge chain. The 20” Chain Saw features an inertia-activated chain brake that stops the rotation of the chain.

The GCU08 features a lock-off lever that improves handling, and a 5-minute auto power-off helps prevent accidental activation while conserving battery life. The GCU08 can utilize the XGT® High Power 8.0Ah Battery (BL4080H), which delivers up to 35% More Power**.

Convenience features include a large oil filling port with a view window that allows the operator to easily add and check bar oil level, an adjustable automatic chain lubrication system with a large oil reservoir for increased user convenience, and a lateral chain tensioning system with dual studs for efficient chain retention.
