Owner feedback
Oleg, 31 years old, Zhitomir:
“Pros: The chainsaw is assembled very neatly, like the whole Makita, whoever has used it knows it. Not too fat, has a good weight.
Disadvantages: None stated.
The only caveat is that when you put the tool down after work, oil starts dripping, you have to periodically wipe the base of the pulley, but that’s only about 15 minutes. I don’t want to write. Happy with the Makita saw!”
Anton, 44 years, Chernihiv:
“Pros: Makita is easy to start, fairly moderate noise, the weight is suitable for work, not heavy for me at all, and it is convenient to tension the chain, as well as very convenient to saw!
Disadvantages: this is Makita, here at least during the day with fire look for defects that will not be.
I recommend this tool to everyone, the rating is good.”
