Makita Cordless Chainsaw, Blue, 350 mm

Product Information

It took me some time to charge the batteries and as soon as they were fully charged, I adjusted them on both sides of the chainsaw.

As we found when we reviewed six of the top cordless chainsaw models available, battery runtime greatly varies between models, even if you’re using the same sized battery. The difference can be pretty significant – a 5aH battery could give you 15 minutes of runtime with one model, yet 45 minutes with another. Makita-built Outer Rotor BL™ Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides power of a 30cc gas chain saw Plus, What I loved about Makita XCU04PT are its compactness and portability. You can literally hang it around yourself and it won’t even touch the ground. The variable speed trigger works like a charm and is quite responsive. Press it slowly and the chainsaw will start rotating steadily. 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.Last but not the least, I’d want to talk a little bit about the batteries that come with the Makita 36v chainsaw. Cutting right to the chase, let’s have a look at what technical features Makita XCU04PT offers as follows: Ergonomic Design: I also tried something new this time. Attached it around my body, climbed a tree, and started cutting a large enough branch with the chainsaw.

That’s right, I said batteries – plural. This 36V battery powered chainsaw has been designed to run on two 18V batteries . This gives it a chunkier look and feel than those that hold just one battery. It boasts a few other thoughtful design features too, from its claw stop to its oil level indicator to its handy on/off button. Its cutting bar is 30cm in length, which is on the higher end of the scale for cordless chainsaws.

Value for Money: I compared each model’s design, performance, power, safety and ease of assembly and use against its price point. Chainsaws that offered a lot of features, excellent performance, and easy usage while remaining affordable were deemed the best value for money.
