MAKITA RELEASES NEW 18V LXT® 6” PRUNING SAW

Compact and powerful Pruning Saw is ideal for pruning and light limbing applications

The new 18V LXT® 6" Pruning Saw (XCU14) is adding to the expanding line of both XGT® and LXT® cordless outdoor power equipment. It is an ideal option for light limb cutting and pruning applications.

 
October 25, 2023, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released the new 18V LXT® 6" Pruning Saw (XCU14) which is adding to the expanding line of both XGT® and LXT® cordless outdoor power equipment. It is an ideal option for light limb cutting and pruning applications.
 
“The 18 Volt LXT® 6" Pruning Saw (XCU14) bridges the gap between a traditional manual hand tool like pruners or lopping shears, and something bigger like a top-handle chain saw,” said Tyler Brown, associate product manager for lifestyle and expansion, Makita U.S.A. Inc. “This compact and portable saw combines power and speed with exceptional maneuverability in confined spaces, offering users a versatile tool to get the job done.”
 
Optimum Cutting Performance
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.
 
Convenience Features
The XCU14 features 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 for reduced operator fatigue.
 
Makita® LXT® System
The new 18V LXT® Pruning Saw is part of the LXT® System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V batteries with 325+ Products in One System. The LXT® System includes an expansive range of 18V and 36V mowers, trimmers, blowers, chain saws, and more, as well as a comprehensive range of cordless tools, vacuums, lighting, radios, heated jackets, and more – all powered by fast-charging 18V LXT® batteries.
