Cordless chainsaw 40 cm XGT 40Vmax 5.0 Ah BLDC, Wet guard UC016GT101

Power and Reliability for Wet Work

This device combines performance comparable to classic petrol chainsaws with the convenience and cleanliness of cordless operation, eliminating the need for refueling or oil mixing. Thanks to the brushless DC motor (BLDC), the tool delivers higher efficiency with lower energy consumption, resulting in longer runtime per charge. The 40 cm guide bar enables precise cutting of medium-thickness branches and pruning of wood in the garden, while the Wet Guard system ensures uninterrupted operation even on rainy days or when cutting wet wood.

Wet Guard Technology and Weather Resistance

A key element of the design is the Wet Guard system, which significantly enhances the tool's resistance to moisture. In practice, this means the chainsaw can be used even when wet—whether due to precipitation or contact with wet bark and falling wood. There is no need to worry about contact corrosion or electronic failure in adverse weather conditions. This solution is particularly useful for gardeners working throughout the season, regardless of the weather forecast.

Application and XGT System Compatibility

The tool is powered by a 40V max battery from the XGT series, ensuring stable power under overload conditions and enabling efficient cutting of harder wood species. The set includes a 5.0 Ah battery, providing sufficient energy to perform a greater number of cuts without the need for frequent battery changes.

Key benefits of using this chainsaw:

• Brushless BLDC motor – reduced internal friction, longer mechanism lifespan, and no need for carbon brush replacement.
• 40 cm long guide bar – ideal for pruning large branches and cutting logs up to approximately 70-80 cm in diameter (depending on cutting technique).
• Wet Guard resistance – enables safe operation in rain and with wet wood without risk of electronic damage.
• Performance comparable to petrol models – high chain speed ensures rapid material feed during cutting.
• XGT system – compatibility with other MAKITA 40Vmax series tools, allowing the use of a single battery set for various tasks in the garden and workshop.

This tool is suitable for both regular pruning of shrubs and fruit trees and for preparing firewood in smaller quantities. The absence of exhaust emissions allows operation in enclosed spaces (e.g., under a canopy) or near buildings without concerns about smoke or fuel odor, making it a significant advantage for users who value working comfort and environmental friendliness. The 5.0 Ah battery capacity ensures extended continuous runtime before recharging is required, while the universal 40 cm guide bar size enables cutting of most garden branches and smaller logs. The BLDC motor generates higher power with lower noise and vibration compared to traditional brushed motors, and the Wet Guard system protects the tool's interior from moisture, enabling operation in adverse atmospheric conditions.
