Makita UC3541A/2 Review

The Makita UC3541A/2 Electric Chainsaw is a well designed, powerful and lightweight tool with a 35cm bar, a rapid 14 metre per second chain speed and an 1800W motor which delivers consistent power to the blade. Setting the chainsaw up is simple as you can tension the chain without the use of tools. In terms of control, the metal spike bumper grips logs for a more accurate cut.

One feature of interest is the chainsaw's automatic chain lubrication. This feature allows for continuous cutting, therefore letting you get through large jobs faster. Refilling the oil tank is easy thanks to the large port and handy oil level indicator window. Note that the chainsaw has several safety features, including two brakes and double insulation.
