Frequently asked questions
Does the Makita XCU09Z come with a battery and charger?
No. The Z suffix marks the Makita XCU09Z as the tool-only listing: the saw itself, without a battery or charger, aimed at buyers who already run a compatible Makita battery. Fuel type is listed simply as electric, and everything else about the saw, from bar to chain, is identical to the kit version.
How much does the Makita XCU09Z weigh on its own?
The Makita XCU09Z weighs 3.4 kg without bar and chain, and, being sold tool-only, without a battery either. The saw as actually carried will weigh more once the bar, chain and whatever battery pack is fitted are added, so 3.4 kg is a starting point rather than the figure you feel in your hands.
What chain pitch and speed does the Makita XCU09Z run?
The Makita XCU09Z turns a 3/8 inch pitch chain at 20.0 m/s. That pitch is a common professional size, so matching replacement chain is easy to find, and 20.0 m/s is a fast cut for a battery saw, moving through wood quickly once the chain is engaged rather than nibbling at the cut.
How big is the chain oil tank on the Makita XCU09Z?
Chain oil on the Makita XCU09Z comes from a 0.2 litre tank, feeding the same 40.64 cm bar and 3/8 inch pitch chain as the kit version. That is a modest reservoir, so on a full session of tree work it needs refilling more than once, worth checking whenever the battery is swapped out.
What kind of work suits the Makita XCU09Z and how much does it vibrate?
Makita classes the XCU09Z for professional tree care, and it records 3.6 m/s² of vibration at the front handle. That combination fits arborists and tree crews making repeated cuts through a shift rather than a homeowner's occasional job, with the front-handle figure setting how long a comfortable stretch of overhead work can run.
