Manufactured in Germany by the Makita owned Saches Dolmar Company who developed the first petrol chainsaw back in 1927, today they continue to design and produce quality petrol, electric and cordless chainsaws. Quality & Design Makita are one of the market leaders when it comes to setting standards in technology and design, which we think you will agree is easy to see and feel when dealing with this fantastic range. With fantastic high torque powerful engines, a compact design and excellent power to weight ratio the Makita petrol chainsaw range is less tiring to use whilst minimising their impact on the environment. Makita chainsaw By working closely with professional users, the Makita engineering team has developed a pioneering new generation of chainsaws that have been applauded by experts worldwide and with glowing reviews from customers this range really one of the top brands available. Most of Makita petrol chainsaws from the DCS3501 to the DCS7901 have an intelligent oil pump which switches off the supply of oil in idle mode and will only supply oil when the engine is running again. This saves oil and ensures the chainsaw is used in the most ecological way possible. Makita Chainsaw cutting tree You will find most of these petrol chainsaws have vibration dampening technology to reduce the physical stress of working with a chainsaw meaning you hand stays steady when cutting to guide the bar safely and accurately. Backed by a 12 month manufacturing warranty for both the domestic and professional user, this range has been designed to be used time and time again without letting you down. The one recommendation we would give is to keep the chain nice and sharp – you can have the best chainsaw out there but with a blunt chain you have nothing. Keep chains nice and sharp with a sharpening kit you can use yourself at home. Makita Sharpening Kit Safety All chainsaws feature a chain brake that can be operated manually or inertia, the SafetyMatic feature guarantees that the saw chain comes to a complete halt in a fraction of a second. Designed with an integrated chain brake meaning you mount the sprocket externally to make fitting the chain much much easier – it’s also easier to clean the whole chain area. Servicing With an Airmaster air filter system which traps coarse wood particles in the very first chamber so that only very fine sawdust gets through to the second chamber and the filter element meaning the air filter needs changing less often. Featuring tool free filter changing by simply releasing the two steel clops and removing the housing cover then the air filter element is held in by one more clips.   https://www.worldofpower.co.uk/blog/makita-petrol-chainsaws/
