Makita DUC355Z Twin 18V (36V) Li-Ion LXT 350mm Brushless Chainsaw - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

Stihl make 2 models of 36v pole saw, the smaller HTA65 is not telescopic whilst the HTA85 is and extends to 4.5m.

I am now testing the Worx 40v cordless chainsaw that also has a longer bar,automatic oiling, easy chain tensioning and Makita saws can be powered by a range of 18v batteries such as 3,4, 5 and now 6 amp hour batteries to give lighter weight or longer running time. 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.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. 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. 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.

Powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries in series to supply energy to the powerful 36V DC motor drive system Battery protection system provides over-discharge protection for enhanced battery cycle life and overall battery life Cordless - The chainsaw is cordless, taking twin 18V batteries which power the 36V brushless motor. It also starts up instantly and is easy to set up. Battery powered chainsaws are much easier to maintain than their petrol powered counterparts. Note that the charger and batteries are sold separately. If you already use Makita tools, then there's a chance that you already have a compatible battery. is that the chain tensioning device is simpler to use. As with the B&D the battery can be used in a

battery can also be used in drills and DIY tools as well as B&D strimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers and pole In terms of battery life, I used two 5aH batteries with this chainsaw and it gave me a continuous run time of about half an hour when used at its maximum speed. This may not seem like much when compared to a petrol chainsaw, but it’s not bad for a cordless. The fact that both batteries can be charged at the same time (if you have a double charger), and take less than an hour to reach full charge is a bonus. Metal Spike Bumper - The Makita DUC355Z Chainsaw has a metal spike bumper which grips in a way that gives you extra control.
