Ok well this is the first time in my life I’ve ever bought a chainsaw. To be honest I only wanted it for small jobs in the back and front of the house and already having plenty of makita batteries going cordless for a chainsaw made sense. I bought this on the 13th and only just give it a go today the 23rd. First impressions was it’s very light even with 2 6ah batteries in it. It seems to do the job very well except afew times it’s stopped when I was cutting. Now it wasn’t because I was pressing to hard so I pulled the chainsaw out and tried to start it but nothing? It took a few atemps to start it then it just started as normal. Now since I now nothing about chainsaws I don’t know wether this is normal. But just to try the saw out also I pressed hard on it and it didn’t stop. So it is very powerful for a battery operated chainsaw and i would recommend it for smaller jobs. The reason I say smaller jobs is because it eats the batteries. I put 2 brand new 6ah batteries fully charged in it and cut one tree stump about 9-10 diameter and believe me it sure made an impact on them battery’s. Now anything like this I always do my homework. Is it cheaper elsewhere? But unfortunately I just didn’t on this I completely forgot. And you can get them £55 cheaper on line (google the model) anyway i bought some spare oils and 4 spare chains and for the amount of work I’ll be doing with this they will last me a very long time.

Not sure about all models but this one works perfectly. Very happy with the cut and weight is not bad at all, so if you wondering what these like then just grab one. You will not look back.I cut a good few logs and the battery was still good, so happy with this tool-MK-

What else can i say? Same power as gasoline chain saws, enought lenght, proper weight and extremely low noise, not even need to use earplugs. Good quality chain sued by makita and as always dealing with Japanese quality. wonderful!

Wonderful powerful machine.eats the batteries very fast. You need at list 3 sets of 5 AH batteries with 2 doable slot fast chargers if you have a big project.

Had this a good few weeks now and it’s brilliant. Best bit of kit I’ve bought for the price it’s at

La scie fonctionne très bien en autant que les attentes ne sont pas trop élevées. Excellent comme scie pour les petits rondins ou pour dépanner quand la “vraie” scie à gaz teste coincée. Vaut mieux acheter 4 batteries d’emblée, sinon on travaille 20 minutes et on attend plus de 2 heures pour la recharge.
