  • Batteries
I haven't used the saw yet but am very pleased with the quality of the saw and it did come with all four of the Makita batteries, not the knock off's! I bought this having a small gas chainsaw to take with on the side X side while out in the mountains, I'm sure I'll be happy with the battery saw after seeing and reading pretty much all of the reviews, I did put a new Oregon R52 chain on and will use the one that come with for a spare. ... show more

  • Great little saw
I bought this for the batteries and charger which was the same price as this kit with the saw. I am surprised how well it cuts, and lasts for 3 or so hours of blocking firewood. I replaced the chain with a non safety chain that dramatically increased its effectiveness. It has become my go to saw unless I’m felling trees ... show more

  • Cuts Extremely Well ... High Quality Tool - don't let bad reviews from novice user fool you
Makita XCU03PT1 Cordless Chain Saw Review 20180116 Makita XCU03PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 14" Chain Saw My review of this Makita XCU03PT1 chainsaw is as follow. This Makita Cordless ChainSaw is a high quality, strong performer, smartly designed, solid, tool. Performance is great, CLEAN, easy to adjust chain, and bar oil filling was also easy, battery power source duration of use is good for batteries, and Cordless does not make it a weak, gimmicky, or a ‘Pretty’ tool it makes it extremely maneuverable with a solid power system. As fort the issue about the auto-shut off, I found it to be a smart safety item for the type and situations I find myself working in. My only con is the button is a little hard to push with gloves on… perhaps a drop of JB weld on top would make it easier to locate and push. Read on if you need to UNDERSTAND more about this saw. I don’t need to wear hearing protection (30 plus years on the Flightline with USAF Fighter Aircraft) hearing protection is something I believe is a smart personal protective item. I’m all in with this Makita saw and most Makita tools. Currently my chainsaw for general to heavy use is a Husqvarna 450 Rancher, 18 in. 50.2cc Gas Chainsaw. I needed another chainsaw that is less of a beast and more of a medium duty tool. Following the large tree cutting and ‘limbing’ when cleaning up branches which is the bulk of the work. Sometimes you are o the ground moving branches and tree trunks to get to what you need to cut or just cutting the larger sections into usable ‘Fire Wood’. The saw is NOT as powerful as the ‘450 Rancher’ but I never thought it would be. The rancher even bogs down on some cuts because it is mostly oak. Cutting a ten or twelve inch branch of oak is serious cutting. But unless I push hard on the Makita it chips away like nobody’s business. I keep all the cutting edges sharp and use a file every Gas up or Battery change. I have chips a flying, but it is hard, dense and dry wood. The saw performs well and has a strong cutting ability. The only performance issue would be when cutting large long cuts the Makita is slower by about 30% to that of the 450 Rancher. While cutting fire wood there is many times to stop between cuts and work the pile for a bit to position wood for cutting, this is where the auto-shut-off is a great safety issue. When I put the saw down it is good to know that is OFF and going to slip from where I set it to move into a hazardous position. And then to push a button instead of having to pull start the saw is such a time saver and face it sometimes you are not in a good position to pull start a gas saw. Not All Chain Saw Work is On Solid Flat Ground. Leaning, kneeling, bending, reaching, starting, stopping, setting the saw down and reaching for it again. Even though this is an electric saw, it is by no means a lightweight when it comes to being a useful tool for working trees and branches. It is a quality saw, as you might expect, it is much more powerful than my two corded electric chainsaws. Price issue should be considered the Makita and the 450 Rancher cost about the same. The up side is that the Makita came with four 5.0Ahour batteries that retail for about $125 EACH (Home Depot price is $129ea…yes, $500 worth of batteries) which is one factor that influenced my purchase. I read the reviews and there is quite a bit to say about the auto-shut off. In a minute. The performance of the WHY BUY MAKITA -- I have many chainsaws from traditional gas, electric, pole saws, a Jaw Saw to the Black and Decker Alligator pruning saw. I use lots of cordless tools as much of the work is away from common 120 VAC. The Makita fit my needs for quality, price and performance, while DeWalt and others are fine tools, but when you make a choice, it’s sometimes silly to change mid-stream once you’ve got so many tools and chargers and batteries. Which is why a bought the Makita. You should know…First off I’m not a professional lumberjack or use my chainsaws for any type of professional work. My background is aircraft electronics and a home owner. Currently I live on a small ranch with about 300 oak and other types of trees. Most of the tress are under 24” diameter, I trim trees, clear downed trees, cut the logs and branches into fire wood and use the wood to heat my dwelling, the rest is considered Hazardous Brush Abatement to aid in forest fire prevention. Point is this is not a hobby or a couple weeks a year of use time. When the season hits the saws are used around 6 hours a week for about 20 weeks. Then used off and on throughout the rest of the year for odd purposes. MCC Central California Mountains ... show more

  • BEST Chainsaw
I feel bad I didn't review this sooner, it's in my list of stuff unreviewed/stunned me. *I LOVE THIS CHAINSAW*. I watched *piles* of YouTube vids, with this and other saws, this one always seemed *quality*. And while I'll credit Milwaukee with having a stronger saw, I dunno it's that much stronger/they both get the job done. Makita's got less issues with thrown chains, oil leaks, etc, even, seemed more sturdy. I've only ever thrown my chain once using the Makita chainsaw, and that was doing stuff I shouldn't have been doing. I did hear of this annoying on/off button issue - it having a safety time out that was 4 seconds or somejunk. Mine? I'm not even sure, lasts about a minute I'd guess. But it's the new updated version that I'd gotten, it was fine on time-outs. I liked the old-school tensioning system more, or thought I would, truth? I'm still curious how I'd like them both, compared side-by-side. But I've had no real issue getting the tooless-tensioner to work. At least past the learning curve of figuring out how it worked in the first place. But that was day 1... Had to get this version to get more batteries and in all ways it's just been a fine saw. I stored it on a bag, it did leak a lil' oil, that leakage is how the system works/it happens. I also observed Makita was one of the few electric chainsaws I saw with oiling adjustment possibilities. There's some screw you can turn, somewhere, I forget, I've never adjusted it, take it out of the box/start the batteries charging/put it together/go cut some stuff. IMO, this is, seriously, the best electric chainsaw on the market, overall. Milwaukee cuts harder, fine. Makita cuts really damn well, seems more reserved/elegant/quality. Dewalt, etc, didn't even impress me with their supposed chainsaws, not even worth mention. But *don't* take my word on the Makita chainsaw -- go watch *piles* of chainsaw videos on YouTube, see what you think... And just for humor's sake? I got this saw over a tree near a new car I'd bought, birds kept crapping on my car. Daily. So i thought I'd remove the tree. Once I researched/ordered this perfect saw -- and it is pretty damn perfect -- but while I was waiting for it to arrive, I observed my car was being hit sometimes where the tree wasn't. I thought more, figured it out, the older car I left fairly dirty. I hate night drivers with ultra-bright LED lights (you know who you are, punks!) and so I let the mirrors get dirty. Newer car? Nice and polished? I was attracting rutty grumpy birds who saw themselves and had to bat at the window/leave messes on the car. I got a saw, I got both bars, both covers, replacement chains, etc, and basically blew about half a grand on problem solved, before anything arrived, by the application of 2 spare plastic grocery bags (to cover the mirrors). On the upside? Did some yard clearing, since... The biggest complaint I've seen? Is battery life. Electric chainsaws *all* eat their battery, some use stronger batteries, makita's using 2x5 amp hour but they're 18V batteries powering a 36V system. Which is why it cuts so much nicer than many other saws. Milwaukee's doing an 18V battery/system, but at 12 amp hours/it's powerful over the battery pushing it. Ponder how you're going to use the saw -- a tree falls, you'll cut it into segments, move them out your driveway? Because most tests I saw were them cutting "cookies" -- slicing a log over and over into small circle-discs. I remember someone saying Makita could only do 40-45 or so of those. But a 50' tree falls and you cut it into 2' log segments, 24 cuts, you could do that about-twice. Are you then taking 2' segments and using the chainsaw to slice them into logs? Because a good axe swing can split those... For my use, overgrown yard, I'd go here and there and take down saplings. Or do actual limbing. But most of my cuts were small, quick, over, a battery saw doesn't keep running/burning fuel, it's only really running while you're using it. Suffice I've gone out cutting, and stopped, and still had most of my battery left. I'm also horribly unfit, lazy, etc... ... show more
