This saw is not a "toy"! It cuts every bit as fast as my 33cc gas powered top handle saw. That being said, it's every bit as heavy; there's no free lunch. I purchased this with a 16" bar mainly because it was $5 cheaper than the 14" model. I'll be putting a shorter bar and chain on it for better maneuverability while climbing. On the ground it has performed wonderfully on hard firewood up to 10" diameter including oak, ash and Osage Orange. I haven't tried it on anything larger yet. Battery life is good and the batteries recharge quickly with the supplied charger. I did buy a spare set of batteries separately and that was a wise decision.
The one con I've encountered is it does not have the starting torque of a gas powered saw. So you have to get it going before the chain comes in contact with the wood or it stalls. But not having to pull start it, put gas in it (chain bar oil is required) or maintain a carburetor, air filter or fuel filter certainly outweighs having to adjust my cutting technique. Overall it's a well made saw, cuts fast and it's a great value for the money compared to the competition. Good job Makita. I'm impressed!
At first, I thought he was crazy, recommending a battery powered chain saw.
Turns out, he was right. This is a great little saw, as long as you aren’t doing anything heavy.
Cedars and mesquite weren’t a problem at all, most of my work was about 8” diameter, and this little saw cut right through it without issue.
I was unable to find the Makita bar oil, but used Husqvarna oil, works just fine.
The batteries last longer than I had expected, but you’ll probably want another set or two, so that you can keep working while the others charge. Wouldn’t hurt to have a spare chain or two as well, you can sharpen chains after a day of cutting.
While this isn’t a professional grade saw for heavy duty tree work, it should suit the average homeowner well. No mess, no fussing around with a gas saw, just a good tool that’s ready to work when you are.

Buy a extra set up batteries, you won’t regret it. The bar tends to loosen up easily at first but after breaking in and identifying how tight to set the tension it stays in place pretty well. I find that I need to check the blade tension frequently. It’s quite and smoke free and I like that a lot, this is primarily why I bought it. Pruning limbs this saw will run for many cuts but cutting large trunks the batteries die pretty quick. Overall so far I am pleased with the saw, I feel the price at 500.00 is a bit high for the top handle version, it did include batteries and a charger, but for what you get I feel 350.00 would have been fair, no case not even a bag for 500.00 ???!! Conclusion, its a really great saw but your not going to be removing large trees without a lot of batteries and patience. Its overpriced at 500.00 wait until the price drops. Get at least 2 extra batteries and a case.
