Makita battery chain saw . incredible

To all the people out there that keep saying drive around it.if we did(we could have by the way)you wouldn't have this awesome video to have a dig at or make all these lovely insults about us.see what we did for you all.. quite.cuts like butter.after cutting two trees still had half battery life.check out how thick the tree is at the end.we take it out every time we go out now.have a great day out there.

[@santiagoribeiro4187]

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

[@Iazzaboyce]

A battery power chainsaw reduces the risk of starting a bush fire, creating a human torch and wrong limb removal - he got good sales advice.

[@Roadsaftyslowdown]

Hey mate, chairsaw 101. Cut compression before tension. Think about what's supporting the log. In your case the log is supported at both ends so the top is under compression and the bottom under tension. Where a branch on a standing tree the top would be tension and the bottom would be under compression and with compression just like your teenage girl friends know when to pull out. Good luck.

[@justus3190]

Great saw, thanks for the review, Might suggest you review when you should undercut first and when you should over cut first- In your video, you are doing a bridging cut, hence the compression is on the top of the log, cut that first, then cut from underneath 2nd. Then you will not pinch you bar. If it is a swinging cut (only supported one end) do the opposite, hope that helps

[@dan82667]

that's a great little saw to keep in your truck/thanks for the video.

[@zfilmmaker]

I like how one is trying to pull the tree down and the other runs underneath.

[@adrianadinobile1954]

Thanks a lot for showing this Makita to me. You have helped me to make my mind up and to get one. You have been more helpful than the bunch of guys criticizing .... perhaps they would like to make an effort and to prove their faultless technique in a video? Thanks again.

Thanks mate

[@blueyhanson6253]

I carry a Makita DUC254 (10 inch) in the back of my ute. Great saw for clearing tracks plus firewood. No petrol to carry, just lightweight 18v batteries and my 400w inverter charges them off a solar-fed 12v battery.

[@MrJohnv8386]

It's a good thing this guy ain't got a gas powered saw my goodness somebody take the battery one away from him LMAO

[@SHEPIDa]

Thank you for a cool test of this small and very cool cordless saw💪🔥🔥🔥👍

[@johnfry816]

Nice little saw, i was impressed by how well it handles large logs. The guy using the saw could have used better cutting techniques, tightened the chain more and sharpened it but overall it was a difficult tree to cut while under load. Im considering buying one of these for small camp trips

[@____________________________.x]

I can see the plus sides of it, if you have solar and batteries then it's always going to work, not like a petrol chainsaw which may not like starting for a million reasons, and for which you'd really need to bring all the safety gear along too. But it's a bit niche, a petrol version would allow you to do a bit of logging too. Overall, a handy thing to have in the back of your trunk. Thanks for the demo.

[@Cancun771]

No petrol smell in the car and no exhaust smell when working. That alone is already _so_ worth it, not to mention the lack of noise. Also you don't need solar panels, you just need a car charger, which Makita sells for something like 80, 90 Euros (DC18SE). The top handle version is a bit shorter but I don't think it really saves a lot of space in the car since it is bulkier. I have the DUC353, one of the regular handle versions and it is very easy to pack even in a much smaller car because the body is thinner. In a pinch, you can always remove the bar for stowage. For logging, you can fit a 40cm bar (16 inches) and possibly more, though I am not sure it is worthwhile since the overload breaker cuts in fairly early already with the shorter bars and even when just sawing boards.

[@dqmc07]

This was great, it's awesome to see someone have this much fun using a tool that got the job done, Like a Boss......

[@Monkey-ut7ke]

In the time in took for you guys to do that, I would have that whole tree bucked up to 16 inch lengths and stacked neatly roadside

[@williamevans6554]

great vidio ,great saw you got that sorted faster than i can get my saw started on a cold day , love it no noise either gotta get one.

[@3g01s7]

You don't always want to cut the underside first. I'm by no means a professional chainsaw operator, but i have learned from some videos i've watched and the little cutting i have done myself that generally you need to start cutting the side where it's going to compress and then make the opposite cut a bit offset if the tree is somewhat big, like in your case. Just realised the video is over a year old :)

[@touranomuut]

This is when you having fun in the middle of the wood with the mini chain saw and pissing Internet trolls in the comment section and those trolls thinks they are smart

[@jomarz1828]

Exactly, so many angry comments because of a stupid tool...

[@Cancun771]

When there is tension in the wood, like here, the prescribed technique is to start the cut at the "compressed" side of the tree, which is on top in most of these cuts since it is touching the ground on both ends. Even if it is only an inch or two, that makes finishing the cut from the other side much easierer

[@thosoz3431]

There is no such thing as a minor accident with a chainsaw. Best advice Ive ever heard about chainsaws.

[@nathankoroush7918]

I use this saw when falling big timbers in the woods at work.

[@MrMeltedwellies]

[@trackandgoldminehunters4x423]

[@MintStiles]

That's a great way to get your saw stuck in a piece of log that will fold onto itself. Very impressive saw though.

[@Mybitterreality]

14" Husqy 36v or dewalt would've done the job just fine! This is an 18v and just like the Ryobi 36v 14" are the weakest in the market. They were developed for small household landscaping. Tested both Ryobi and makita and the blades on both worked for 50-60 cuts and needed sharpning. The plastic single bolt chain adjuster is the worst on both, keeps loosening all the time.

[@petersparkie]

It’s actually 36 volt. Uses 2x 18V batts. I’ve got one while it’s not as good as my petrol Sthil, it is handy.

[@jomarz1828]

[@ItchyFeetOz]

If you cut 1/3rd of the top before you cut the bottom 2/3rds it will avoid the pinching the blade. As it is bridging it wants to squeeze the top half when you cut it.

Ive been thinking of getting a Cordless Chainsaw for this exact reason But i feel the small trees like this one, you can just winch out of the way And the big trees (1 meter+ across) you will never cut through

[@trackandgoldminehunters4x423]

Yer they are not for big work.alot of trees you cant winch out of the way because they are to long.we could have went around it but we wanted to show how good it was.we were out last week and we had to cut one out of the way.it was over a foot thick and it did it without a problem

[@mountainconstructions]

Agreed, it might be your only option to get home sometimes Especially the wind we have had lately, there was multiple trees down last night, thankfully already cleared when i arrived. Ive been using a really old 240V Elec Makita chainsaw for 25 years now It is just as capable as any saw, you can climb with it, its light, and you don't have to try and start it once 30ft up a tree> Best of all, it is quite, very handy in a populated town with nosey neighbours

[@ytvladnoob24]

Nice chainsaw, Just a tip it you're willing to learna little when you're cutting like at 7:30 first make a little cut on top and then start cutting from under that way it will open where your blade is instead of grabbing it.

[@trackandgoldminehunters4x423]

Cheers

[@casper1240]

Yes good point

[@ralfb8869]

Just another another thing to add to my last comment since the saw was probably new it was equipped most likely with as safety chain which cases the saw to bounce and is also the type of chain that is quite slow, just what how your hand keeps coming in line with the bar of the saw, if the saw contacts the upper quadrant of the bar kickback can occur and a lot of operators have hurt and also killed by this happening.I hope this was of help to you. :)

The chain was very loose in the end. You should start from the top and end on the bottom in the compression is on the high side. Clean branches around as you may trip. Please learn how to operate a saw as they may be dangerous. I have the biggest version and it's great.

[@andrewslone7236]

hhcosminnet Using a Chainsaw: Sir the pressure is in the middle or sides, Old ky boy! Start on bottom or you can saw a chip at the top, then go to the underside, also all the pressure is on the limbs on the ground! If you start on the top you can only go about an inch very easy to get your chain hung or compressed between the cut! Just a thought. If you start on top put a chip in the cut, before going to bottom. I have been watch the you Tube Saw boys most of the week.

[@ChromeArty]

I have limited chainsaw experience. Just have used for firewood gathering and dealing with shit like in the video. Things like in the video can surprise you by twisting in a way you don't expect. I think I would have started at the trunk, keeping my body on the root side of the cut. Then work down the tree towards the top. But what do I know!? ... Instead of carrying a chainsaw in my 4x4 I carry a 12gauge with a bunch of birdshot. Makes an amazing "saw" and you can be a bit more clear of the danger... but eye protection is a must! 😄
