Compared to gas engines, this chainsaw's electric motor requires way less maintenance. You don't need to check sensitive mechanical parts, such as air filters, spark plugs, or pull start rope. You also don’t need to prepare it for long periods of not being used.

With this tool, you can work indoors without having to worry about the ventilation as this chainsaw doesn’t emit any smoke or fumes that can harm your health.

You do not need any tools to adjust the chain.

With a 14" long bar, this battery-powered chainsaw can do all the regular light-duty jobs you can think off. It's suitable for trimming bushes, cutting low-diameter trees, and preparing firewood.

This tool has high resistance against both water and dust. It is ready to be used in tough and dirty environments. All the electrical parts of this chainsaw are sealed. In fact, you can work with it even while it’s raining.

Since this chainsaw uses an electric motor, you don’t have to worry about hazardous emissions from the chainsaw. This means you can operate this tool indoors.

The 5 Ah batteries that come with this chainsaw can be used on any 18 or 36 V Makita product. In fact, the 18 V LXT batteries are now the de facto standard for almost all new Makita cordless tools.

Apart from the standard 14-inch bar and a chain, you’ll also get two 18 V, 5 Ah batteries, and a charger. But, if you already have them, you can also buy the chainsaw without the extra accessories for a lower price.
