Review: Great bit of kit, for me much better than the equivalent petrol chainsaw - Bought this for tackling various jobs around and the garden and am very glad I did! Key benefits for me (over the 2 stroke chainsaw I had been using) are: 1) No battle to start a recalcitrant engine 2) Much reduced noise 3) No smoke / fumes. 4) Pick up and put down ability. If you are tackling a bitty job where you have to cut / look / think / cut or just need to make an occasional cut, being able to pick up the saw, prod the power button and go without having to go through the whole 2 stroke start up rigmarole is fantastic. You are also not clutching a smokey, noisy, hot engine egging you to rush on with the cuts as quickly as possible. Performance wise I wouldn't say this is significantly more capable than a 2 stroke saw of the same size, but it's definitely not any less capable. It won't make you into a lumberjack, but it also won't make you feel silly. Be in no doubt, this is no toy, it needs to be treated with respect. Perhaps even more so because the only downside of an electric motor is there is no noise to tell you it's ready to cut! Having said that Makita have built an auto shutdown into the control electronics, so if you set it aside it will quickly turn itself off anyway. Very easy to make totally safe if you are working on the chain. Just remove both batteries (battery installation and removal is quick and easy). Battery life seems good. I bought a couple of sets of large capacity batteries. The Makita supplied charger works well and charging is quick. Installing / replacing the chain is easy. Tensioning the chain is easy. Chain lubrication works well, with a good sized reservoir. Can't comment on longevity yet, but it feels reasonably well put together. All in this tool was a revelation for me. I'd had a fairly negative relationship with my 2 stroke chain saw and would often just stick to a hand saw to avoid the hassle of firing the thing up. This is brilliant for jobs around the garden. Just treat it with respect, it's a proper chain saw!
Review: Good product - Very good machine. Light and powerful but the chain comes off a lot which is irritating

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi.. What chain do I need to fit this saw and what file do I need to sharpen it?**
A: This kind of chain fits Makita DUC353: Oregon 90PX52 chain (52 chain links, gauge 1.1 mm, pitch 3/8 inch). 
The file for that chain would be 4.5 mm round file.

**Q: Hi all read this as a kickback brake does it work well anyone had any issues .also do you need a license to use this for a business purposes**
A: works well

**Q: Hi, what replacement chain choises do i have**
A: Most chainsaw dealers are happy to make replacement chains out of spooled chains. Just tell them that you need a 3/8 low profile, 1.1 mm chain with 52 drive links.
For my Makita the local Stihl dealer made me a matching chain (Micro 3/8P, 1.1mm, 52 links)

**Q: Is this a uk spec model? ie if it need repairing in the uk and I send it to makita will they reject it on the basis that its a us model?**
A: I bought mine from N&B and it was a UK spec model -- was even Made in United Kingdom too which was rather surprising!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by W***B on 15 October 2025*

Very good machine. Light and powerful but the chain comes off a lot which is irritating

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Chainsaw
*by M***M on 13 July 2023*

First chainsaw owned. Thought I would invest in a battery operated for ease of use as petrol ones troublesome and heavy. Bought Makita as I own several of their power tools and can’t fault them. This chainsaw is very competitively priced. Much dearer ones out there. What a fantastic piece of kit. Easy to set up. Chain can be adjusted with one hand. Very quiet in operation and so far has cut log after log with ease. Some as thick as 12” diameter. The battery consumption has been very good. Well pleased and very much recommended. Get one you won’t be disappointed. Mark
