## Description

There is growing demand for alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 18V LXT® Brushless 6" Pruning Saw (XCU14Z, tool only). The 6” Pruning Saw is both lightweight and compact making it a perfect option for light limb cutting and pruning. The 6” Pruning Saw features a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers optimum cutting performance. It features “tool-free” chain adjustment for convenient operation and maintenance as well as a retractable guard for convenient operation and maintenance. The XCU14 can perform up to 140 cuts in 2” cedar with one fully charged 18V LXT® 2.0Ah battery (battery not included). Convenience features include a soft grip handle that is engineered for the user to more easily apply even cutting pressure. It is lightweight at only 3.7 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue. The 6” Pruning Saw features an efficient Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) provides improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real-time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Review: Great balance, surprisingly effective - I bought this for light pruning when climbing trees when I don't need to carry my larger chainsaws. This saw fills a good niche between my hand saws and hand pruners, and my larger chainsaws. It also allows me to easily cut branches when it is difficult to find a good position for my hand saw. The saw is light weight, and feels very well balanced for using single-handed. As with most Makita tools it is nicely finished and feels like good quality. I thought the blade guard on the top would be a hindrance, but I haven't found that to be the case. I can still cut with the top of the blade, either by lifting the guard before starting the cut, or pressing the guard against the branch to be cut to get the guard out of the way. The saw definitely feels safer than I imagine it would without a blade guard! And it is nice to have at least part of the chain guarded from rubbing against me when the saw is hanging from my climbing saddle. There is no bar adjustment screw as on most chainsaws. Instead it is under spring tension. It remains to be seen how that holds up. I have used the saw to cut 4 inch (live) Coast Live Oak branches and it does so easily. It isn't a speed demon, and if you push it will stall. But I was expecting that would be the case. It gets through the wood decently fast without trying to force it, as long as the blade is sharp. For light pruning while climbing around in tree canopies I would much rather carry this small lighter chainsaw than get a little more speed. The saw does not have a variable speed trigger. Though I would prefer that, it performs well without it. The chain side/sprocket cover and the bar are held in place by a bolt which is tightened with a foldable handle, rather than a wrench. This works pretty well, though once in a while if the blade jams it will loosen the chain, as it is not possible to tighten that bolt strongly with the little lever. That said, you don't need a wrench to adjust the blade. The lever seems as if it could break if I were to really bear down on it, but it hasn't been a problem. I am very happy with this saw!
Review: Makita quality - Typical Makita. Small, light, and ergonomic. Powerful, and efficient in battery usage. Sharp - easy to cut even larger diameter hardwood (oak) trunks. Expensive, but worth it. I like the chain tensioning approach. Saw uses quite a bit of bar oil, but does not leak. Did not know that chains can be sharpened DIY with a file. Very cool. Works great for around the house and camping!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by J***S on August 27, 2024*

I don't write reviews but had to say how incredible this tool is. Have a lot of experience with chainsaws and this saw is unbeatable. It's Lightweight and cuts a lot on one battery. I was going to buy a knock off version and am so glad i didn't. Makita thought through the self lubrication and auto- tightening on the chain. Something the knock offs dont have. Interesting thing about the saw is it doesn't do well with tiny branches but will cut just about everything else. So If you pair it with some hand pruners you will take care of everything but large trees. I took out some 8 inch diameter trees but wouldn't recommend anything above 6 inches. Well worth the money for its ease of use and performance.
