Makita Cordless Chainsaw, Blue, 350 mm

Product Information

Health benefits – in addition to saving yourself from the noise that a petrol chainsaw makes, a cordless chainsaw also won’t subject you to exhaust fumes

In-keeping with trying to make this chainsaw as appealing as possible to newbies, Bosch has ensured that assembly is kept to a minimum. The chain is already attached to the bar and you don’t need any tools to attach this to the main unit. Oil is provided too, for the chain’s automatic oiling system, meaning that I was able to have this chainsaw up and running in about five minutes. They’re very lightweight when compared to petrol chainsaws – this not only makes them easier to move around to different parts of your garden, but also gives you more manoeuvrability if you need to take your chainsaw up a ladder or a tree Makita offers a wide range of chainsaws, including both corded and cordless options. Their cordless chainsaws use lithium-ion batteries and have brushless motors for efficient and powerful operation. The corded options feature high-speed motors and automatic oiling systems for easier maintenance. Makita's chainsaws are designed for professional and DIY use and come in various sizes and power capacities to suit different cutting tasks. Automatic chain lubrication, the amount of chain oil can be regulated allowing the user to make adjustments based on whether they are cutting hard or soft wood, and it has a mains power switch with auto power off function which automatically turns off the chainsaw after no activity for 1 minute. MAKITA DUC405Z FEATURES There is growing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT® 14” Top Handle Chain Saw, Tool Only (model XCU08Z). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered chain saws, the XCU08Z is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. The compact top-handle design makes it ideal for the professional tree care industry.

Specifications

A chainsaw’s cutting speed will tell you how fast that machine will be able to saw itself through a piece of wood. Smaller models could have a cutting speed of just 4 m/s, whereas higher-end cordless chainsaws can offer up to 20 m/s, which is comparable to a petrol chainsaw. I was very happy with how this machine performed. It neatly sliced through both large branches and small trunks, with the maximum diameter it could handle being roughly 50cm (when you cut from both sides). Talking of the battery kit, it can charge two batteries at once. The good thing is that it can prevent the battery from overload, overheating, and over-discharge issues. Now for the only downside to this chainsaw – its price. It was the most expensive battery powered chainsaw that I tested, and it was even more expensive than all of the petrol chainsaws that I also tested, and that’s not accounting for the batteries and the dual charger. That said, it’s still a machine that I would highly recommend buying, simply because of how durable it feels and how well it performs. The fact that its performance is equivalent to that of many petrol chainsaws, yet it’s so much easier to use, makes it, in my opinion, well worth the higher cost.

Although they may be smaller and lighter than their petrol alternatives, cordless chainsaws still have the potential to cause just as much damage should an accident occur. As a result, you need to take safety very seriously.
