Clear the Trail and Conquer the Great Outdoors with Gas-Class Cordless Performance

The Makita Outdoor Adventure® 18V LXT® 12" Top Handle Chain Saw Kit (ADCU10SM1) is the ultimate companion for campers, overlanders, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable cutting solution without the maintenance of gas. Powered by a Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor with a direct-drive system, this compact saw delivers power equivalent to a 22cc gas engine. Whether you are clearing fallen branches from a trail or prepping firewood at the campsite, the ADCU10 provides up to 150 cuts in 2x2 cedar on a single 4.0Ah battery charge, all while operating with zero emissions and significantly lower noise levels than traditional chainsaws.

Designed for portability and ease of use, this top-handle saw features a rugged, ergonomic grip that ensures maximum control in tight spaces. Maintenance is simplified with a captured bar nut and lateral chain tensioning, while the adjustable automatic chain lubrication system keeps your 12-inch bar running smoothly through every cut. Built with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to safeguard against overloading and overheating, the ADCU10SM1 is part of the world’s largest 18V cordless system. This kit includes a fast-charging 4.0Ah battery and charger, ensuring you spend more time exploring and less time waiting on a power source.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To maximize cutting performance in heavy sap or thick logs, engage the "Torque Boost Mode" by holding the power button until the light flashes. Always ensure you are using a high-quality biodegradable bar and chain oil, and keep your chain tensioned so that you can just barely lift the drive links out of the bar groove for the smoothest, safest operation.
