MAKITA, DUC353Z, 36 V, 35 cm Cordless Chainsaw

This Makita 36V (2x18V LXT) brushless cordless chainsaw is designed for cutting wood on construction sites, for property maintenance, forestry work, and garden tasks. It runs on Makita's 18V LXT platform, combining two 18V Li-ion batteries to deliver 36V of power. The brushless motor drives the chain at up to 20 m/s for efficient cutting of firewood, branches, and general timber. A 350 mm guide bar handles a broad range of routine cutting jobs while keeping the saw compact. This is a body-only tool; no batteries or charger are included, and two Makita 18V LXT batteries are required for operation.

Weighing 5200 g, the saw remains manageable during extended cutting sessions. Automatic chain lubrication is fed by a 0.2 L oil tank to keep the chain running smoothly. Tool-free chain tensioning and replacement simplify adjustments without the need for additional tools. A soft-grip handle improves comfort during prolonged use. Sound output is rated at 89 dB sound pressure and 100 dB sound power. The tool carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
