Few tool makers create products as high of quality as Makita. Makita has been making a variety of power tools for decades, putting massive amounts of research and quality control into their products. One of their most popular products is their chainsaws. People of all backgrounds use chainsaws to cut up wood materials around their home. While loggers use these tools on a massive scale, typical homeowners can find better use in a consumer grade tool from Makita. Consumer chainsaws are powerful tools yet are lightweight and easy to control. A variety of safety features prevent accidents and keep people safe.
Makita's electric chainsaws are rapidly becoming mainstream. There are many reasons why someone would choose an electric saw over a gasoline one. Gasoline powered chainsaws use a heavy combustible engine block for power, making the tool heavy and unwieldy. Lighter framed individuals can forget about using this kind of tool for any extended period of time. Gas saws require quite a bit of maintenance to keep operational, including frequent purchasing of gasoline, air filter changes, oil additives and fuel line repair. And finally, the loud sound of these engines and foul odors are not only annoying to humans, but bad for the environment as well.
Electric chainsaws are a world apart- lighter in weight, quiet and easy to handle. They get their power from an electric motor inside the saw. Users plug the saw into their wall outlet with up to a 100 foot extension cord. These saws turn on and off in an instant, controlled by a simple trigger on the handle. No string pulling is necessary for start-up. When power can be controlled precisely, accidents are less likely to happen. The electric motor turns a toothed chain on a guide bar just like in any chainsaw.
These saws are measured in horsepower, so even gasoline saw enthusiasts can clearly understand how much power each saw has. Makita makes saws ranging in power and size, both for home and commercial use. Electric chainsaws can do just about any job a gas one can, including sawing large trunks in half. The quiet nature of the electric motor makes it pleasant to use in communities with neighbors nearby. While hearing protection is still recommended, these saws are vastly quieter than any gas engine. Accessories like automatic chain oilers reduce the maintenance requirements to almost nothing. Safety features like kickback protection and a hand guard ensure safety at all times.
