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. 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.

Cutting right to the chase, let’s have a look at what technical features Makita XCU04PT offers as follows: Ergonomic Design: Furthermore, I was quite surprised to see that the brand included a complete battery kit with two 5.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries and a charger. This was something that I really missed in the Milwaukee M18 chainsaw. So, the 18v+18v batteries gave me enough power to keep the chainsaw operational at an exceptional speed. Although the runtime was a little disappointing, the chainsaw makes this worth dealing with when you take into account how easy it is to use. Even with the battery in, it weighs just 3.5kg , making it so lightweight and comfortable to work with. Its metal gripper spikes help to hold the machine steady while you’re cutting, and its automatic oiling system works well. On top of that, options like an automatic oiler and a durable stainless bar construction could easily enhance the lifespan of the chainsaw.Model XCU03PT1 is a kit and includes the Chain Saw, four fast-charging 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. Plus, the box also contains 4 lithium-ion batteries with a battery kit to take care of power issues.

This chainsaw’s fantastic performance is partly due to how powerful it is. As mentioned, its 36V motor makes use of two 18V batteries , giving it double the power of its 18V competitors. I went with 5aH batteries and enjoyed a continuous run time of about 30 minutes . I was using it at full speed for pretty much all of this time, meaning 20 m/s, which, again, is significantly faster than many of the other battery powered chainsaws out there. If you use the machine at a slower speed and on smaller pieces of wood, you’ll enjoy a longer runtime. The Makita 36v (18v x2) Cordless Brushless Chainsaw, DUC405, features Makita's famous Outer Rotor Brushless Motor powered by two 18v Li- ion batteries (not included). Eliminating the need to mix fuel and 2-stroke oil the saw is also quiet and starts at the press of a button. The saw boasts an impressive no load chain speed of 1,200m/min, variable speed trigger and captive bar nuts suitable for a range of applications.Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment.
