Great tool. Highly recommend. Previous defects corrected in this model.
On my property we have 60 + trees and a bamboo orchard. So a chain saw is a necessity. I also own a bunch of makita tools, so the saw was a natural purchase. I didnât need to buy batteries. And starting up the gas chain-saw is such turn-off I donât want to use it.
A previous model of automatically shutoff after 4 seconds of non-operation. This was the subject of numerous complaints. In this version, there is a much longer (1 min?) time before auto-shutoff, which makes use of the saw completely natural.
The chain is .043â wide, which essentially a thin curf. Itâs cuts quickly and easily through very hard wood. Iâm assuming that my gas-powered chain saw is more powerful, but who wants to pull on its starter rope to find out? I probably will get rid of the old technology. Having a saw with absolutely no startup cost (just put in the batteries) is far more important than a slight increment in power unless you are a professional and/or are cutting really big trees.
For smaller branches I was using a saws-all type saw with a branch-trimming type blade. Now Iâll be pulling out the new chain-saw to do a lot of the same work because its just so much faster cutting a 3â branch with a chain-saw, as long as you donât have to fuss with gas and oil, and a machine thatâs been sitting in the shed for 3 months unused.

Easy to set up an use!
Iâve owned several gas saws- big STIHL saws. I now live on small acreage and have no use for saws that cut huge trees. Iâm 76 and still enjoy cutting wood. I bought this saw based on the great reviews and Iâll say this, those good reviews were not wrong. I took this saw out of the box, put the bar and chain on, filled the bar oil reservoir and put it to work. I cut up to 12â limbs like I had a large saw. So effortless. What I especially like is that when I was finished, I turned the switch off, pulled the batteries out to use in my 36volt circular saw and put the saw away. I canât say enough about the convenience of this tool. Itâs definitely not a saw for big wood, but thatâs not what I got it for. I highly recommend this saw. Thank you Makita for another fine tool.

Very fine saw
Iâve used gas chainsaws for many years. This is better. Itâs powerful and has a sturdy feel. Itâs much quieter. It cuts extremely well. There is never a moment when you feel it might bog down. If anything it feels stronger. The batteries last plenty long too. Iâll still use my 20â gas saw for big stuff but for anything you use a medium saw for this one is great.

Another Makita winner! Just buy it already.
I have a bunch of existing LXT Makita tools, which never fail to disappoint. Not a single one of them! Drill, hex quick change 1/4″ impact driver, X2 (2 batteries, of course) blower, X2 circular saw, hedge trimmer, angle grinders. This chain saw was the latest addition. I’ve had a corded 14″ Homelite electric chainsaw for years. This 14″ Makita seems just a powerful, but lighter and thinner bar and chain (a good thing for cutting). The battery life is past amazing. I trimmed three large bushes damaged by a freeze. I’m sweating (hot outside). Take a look at the battery gauge and only down 1 LED! Sheesh. The saw was ready to go a lot longer than I could. 😛 Especially good for branches of like 1, 2, 3, 4 inches in diameter. I did buy the better Oregon R52 chain shown on Amazon, and the Oregon bar oil. Recommended. NOTE!! The one surprise – THE SAW DOES NOT SHIP WITH ANY BAR OIL AND YOU NEED THAT BEFORE YOU CAN START CUTTING! I don’t fault Makita for that, prevents oil spills in shipping, but a big note about it should be included on the order page somewhere. Anther tip: buy two or three chains for spares unless you really want to sit there with a chainsaw file and sharpen each tooth. 😛 Not worth it for $16, IMHO. I did wear out one of the R52 chains already. By the time I hit the 5th bush I could tell it was getting a bit dull (hard wood on these things). Slapped on a new R52 chain (easy to do with this Makita design) and the cutting was back to the original glory. I see on Amazon the R52’s are for sale in multi-packs, too. I should add that I had zero trouble on this saw with anything to do with a power switch timer. I read that was a problem with an older model. I set the saw down several times to hand-trim some small branches to fit in the trash can. Never had the saw power button time-out on me once. Hahaha after I was done with the bushes I actually looked around the yard for something else to cut. 😀 Go Makita!!!!!

Pretty good saw, but my first electric so I’m ignorant
I heat with an outdoor wood stove, and have a good Stihl 311 for the larger stuff.
But this saw is becoming my mainstay. I cut up a medium sized dead walnut tree from top to bottom with 3 sets of batteries. I was on my last set, but still running when I finished. I used up the rest of the 3rd battery set (6 five and six sized battery)
I don’t know what the other electrics are like, but this seems to do the job. I have overheated the saw and it’s shut down. But I am 70 yrs old and take a break or load the wood that I’ve cut.
You have to have the chain adjusted just right or it falls off, and the kickback sensor seems to be a little too sensitive, but I am getting used to it.
I like the other makita tools, except for their drill that has a miserable chuck. (why don’t you fix this , Makita?_). So I already have a bunch of their batteries, and a couple of chargers.

I am impressed Makita XCU07
I have used gas saws all my life and decided to purchase the Makita cordless chainsaw for smaller projects and to utilize in a barn space for sake of noise, risk of spark fire, and noise. Recently, I had six oak trees to cut 10 diameter to cut upon its delivery. I did purchase the additional Oregon chain and kept the stock as backup.
My results:
I did cut the trees into 4 foot lengths and limbed all branches.
I went through two set of batteries, but I always have two charging.
The saw never over heated nor did the chain come off.
Compare to the gas saw itâs lighter and quieter, like cutting trees in stealth mode.
I will not get rid of the gas, but I impressed with Makita and its performance and will probably use it regularly. Great purchase for the busy DIY type. I like the fact this saw has the traditional bolt tightening chain setup and chain adjustment is easy.
Peace outâ¦
