ADVERTORIAL
Makita What is the name of the tool?
The cordless functionality also means zero emissions – which is good for the environment and healthier for the tool operator who is not at risk of breathing in exhaust fumes. Battery-operated chainsaws are also quieter compared with petrol alternatives, and the vibration levels are considerably lower as there is no piston operating 90° to the rotation of the crankshaft. Reduced vibration levels ensure those using the tool remain safer on site and are better protected against vibration-related illnesses such as vibration white finger. The Makita UC011G is available as a body only option (UC011GZ) for users that already have XGT batteries, making the price more competitive when adding this machine to existing XGT kit. The UC011G is also available as a complete kit (UC011GT201), which is supplied with 2x40V (5.0Ah) batteries and a fast charger. With a 50-minute charge time on the 5.0Ah battery and approximately 35 cuts per charge, users can achieve optimum productivity and minimise downtime between charges.

Makita UC011G 40VMax XGT Brushless 350mm Chainsaw.
What is it used for? The machine is part of Makita’s XGT platform, which combines innovative tool design and high-output batteries to provide a genuine solution for high-demand applications. Featuring a powerful brushless motor and a 350mm bar and chain, the tool offers an impressive output, equivalent to a 40cc petrol powered chainsaw. Its high chain speed of up to 25.5m/s is perfect for heavy-duty use and reliable cutting performance for thick pieces of wood.
Who should have it in their toolbox?
Anyone that needs to cut a lot of wood would benefit from this tool.
Why is this better than similar products?
As this is a battery-powered chainsaw, there is no need to change engine oil or spark plugs, clean air filters or drain the fuel before storing the tool. So this also negates the need to carry fuel or mix oil and petrol on site.
