Makita Cordless Chainsaw, Blue, 350 mm

Product Information

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more 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® Brushless Chain Saw Kit (model XCU03PT1). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the Chain Saw is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It’s powered by two 18V LXT® batteries for 36V power and run time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V battery platform. And with the efficient Makita outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive system, users get high power efficiency that is equivalent to a gas chain saw. Not to forget, Makita electric chainsaw offers a speed of 0 to 3,940 FPM (Feet per minute), which is somewhat similar to what Milwaukee M18 offered. Improved Durability:

Tyler’s a Tree Maintenance Employee at Ahlum & Arbor Tree Maintenance Company. He has got his opinion about the Makita chainsaw in the following words, “I normally use my gas-powered Stihl Chainsaw for normal routine maintenance, but recently I got my hands on Makita. Much Lighter and Compact as compared to Stihl. I didn’t even face any problem climbing to the tree and cutting down some large branches with it.” Makita-built Outer Rotor BL™ Brushless Motor direct-drive system delivers power of a 32cc gas chain saw The frequency of sharpening the chain on your Makita chainsaw depends on how often you use it and the type of wood you are cutting. Generally, a chainsaw chain should be sharpened every time the depth gauges on the chain are filed down to the same level as the teeth. You may also need to sharpen the chain more often if you are cutting dirty or abrasive wood. What is the weight of a typical Makita chainsaw?There are a few design elements to this battery powered chainsaw that immediately stand out. Firstly, its size – with a 20cm bar and a very compact body, it’s the smallest of the six cordless chainsaws that I reviewed. Next up, the metal protective cap over the tip of the chainsaw. It’s there to reduce vibration, give you a cleaner cut when pruning trees, and prevent you from cutting with the nose of the chainsaw. Why? Because that requires expertise, whereas this chainsaw is designed for beginners. 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. Two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries deliver 36V power and performance without leaving the 18V LXT® platform (batteries and charger not included) That said, each battery comes with an 18v voltage so you’ll get a combined 36V power from the chainsaw. Makita DUC306PG2 Twin 18V LXT 30cm Brushless Chainsaw with 2x 6.0Ah Batteries– a Twin 18V 300mm LXT Li-Ion brushless chainsaw including a main power switch with auto-power off function.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. So, take a look at my first hand impressions of this chainsaw as follows: Our Review of Makita XCU04PT Brushless Chainsaw [2023] Built-in L.E.D. on/off switch with auto power-off function; automatically shuts the saw off when operation is delayed for extended battery life Powered by two 18V LXT® batteries (sold separately) for maximum power, speed and run-time, the XCU08Z is easy to start by simply loading the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries and powering on. The XCU08Z has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-3,940 FPM) for increased cutting speed, with torque boost mode for cutting dense material.First and foremost, even if you don’t plan on using your cordless chainsaw for heavy-duty tasks, you’ll still need to invest in protective clothing and accessories, including chainsaw trousers, boots, gloves, and a hat/helmet, as well as safety goggles and ear defenders (these usually come attached to the helmet). This is something required by law, so don’t take it lightly. Just about all of the best battery powered chainsaws need to be assembled in the same way. This isn’t complicated – it’s only the bar and chain that need to be attached. Ryobi has designed this machine to make that whole process tool-less, including when it comes to adjusting the chain tension at the end. As a result, assembly only took 10 minutes and was a very easy task.
