After the comments we received on our Makita battery operated chainsaw review, I’ve discovered the importance of keeping the chain sharp and tight. In this video we look at how to go about tightening and sharpening a Makita chainsaw. This unit is compatible with all Makita 18v Li-Ion batteries including mixed Ah combinations but please note the chainsaw will only operate while both batteries have charge. Approximate cuts (50mm cedar timber) under normal duty Outer Rotor BL Brushless motor direct-drive system delivers 0-20 m/s (0-1,200 m/min) (0-3,940 FPM) chain speed for fast cutting, equivalent to 30 mL class engine chain saw Product dimensions are stated with a battery / batteries, if they affect the overall dimensions of the product. We tighten and sharpen the chain on a Makita DUC353 battery operated chainsaw. You don’t need any tools to tighten the chain, but you need a sharpener to get the teeth sharp.

You don’t need to use any force at all when using this chainsaw. Just hold it steady and it does all of the hard work for you – it really couldn’t have performed any better than it did. The results it produced were easily comparable to that of a petrol chainsaw. The final step was filling the chainsaw with oil. There’s a large window in the oil port that clearly shows how much oil is in the machine, so, again, this was a simple task, especially since the chainsaw came with a small bottle of oil. Powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries in series to supply energy to the powerful 36V DC motor drive system.

Makita has also designed this chainsaw to automatically turn off if you happen to set it down. In my opinion, this is such an important feature – not only does it help you conserve battery power, but it will also prevent accidents. As a global supplier of a comprehensive range of tools for creating comfortable homes and living environments, Cordless for reduced maintenance; no need to change engine oil or spark plug, clean air filter or drain fuel for storage

General

The first thing I noticed when I sat down to assemble this chainsaw was that there weren’t any tools included in the box. Turns out, this is because you don’t actually need any to put this chainsaw together. That said, the Makita DUC353Z cordless chainsaw is still a machine that I would highly recommend buying. Yes, it’s relatively expensive, especially when you factor in the cost of the two batteries and the double charger, but it truly is a fantastic machine. It performs well and, most importantly for me, it’s so easy to use. The results that it produces are just as good as a petrol chainsaw, yet this one is so much more convenient to just “grab and go”. As mentioned, this chainsaw holds two batteries 18V batteries, which is why it has a 36V motor. Speaking of the motor, this is brushless , which didn’t mean much to me at first. However, a little research taught me that a brushless motor is meant to be significantly more efficient, meaning a longer runtime for the battery.
