Makita DUC355 2x18V Brushless Chainsaw

The Makita DUC355 chainsaw combines a powerful brushless motor with a maximum chain speed of 20 m/s, making it a versatile cordless choice for cutting timber, maintaining trees and tackling demanding cutting jobs. Its 350 mm, 14 inch guide bar provides practical cutting capacity, while cordless operation removes the need for fuel or a mains power supply. Powered by two 18V Makita LXT batteries, the DUC355 delivers a nominal battery voltage of 36V while allowing you to use compatible batteries from the established 18V LXT system. The brushless motor is designed for efficient operation, while constant speed control helps maintain chain speed when the saw is under load. For easier day to day operation, the Makita DUC355 features tool-less chain and guide bar tensioning, allowing adjustments without additional tools. Adjustable automatic chain lubrication keeps oil supplied to the chain during use, supported by a 200 ml chain oil tank.

Makita's Extreme Protection Technology, XPT, provides improved resistance to dust and water for operation in harsh conditions. A battery protection system also automatically shuts off power when battery capacity becomes low.Practical details include captive nuts, which help prevent the retaining nuts from being lost when changing the guide bar or saw chain. With a net weight of 3.3 kg before batteries, the DUC355 combines cordless convenience with the cutting performance required for a range of timber cutting applications.
