Which Makit saw to choose?

What is the difference between chains of saws offered by one manufacturer - Makita? Compare the following models:

• chainsaw Makita DCS230T;
• Makita UC3530A Chainsaw;
• Makita UC4020A power saw.

Chainsaw DCS230T

Let's start with the chainsaw DCS230T.This equipment is designed for home use, ideal for cleaning work in the garden, garden or preparing wood for the fireplace. The undoubted advantage of the chainsaw is its lightness and small size, which ensures uninterrupted operation of the equipment, as well as work in hard-to-reach places. In addition, maintenance of the DCS230T is not a problem, the operator has free access to the spark plugs and the air filter.

For some, this is an advantage; for others, it is a disadvantage - depending on the user's expectations, the chainsaw is equipped with an internal combustion engine. Thanks to this solution, the operator receives absolute mobility, he needs to worry about the distance from the power source. On the other hand, it is necessary to remember about the preparation of the corresponding fuel mixture. In addition, the internal combustion device works louder and gives off an unpleasant odor.

Chainsaw UC3530A

Makit's chainsaw UC3530A is popular not only among fans. The advantages of the UC3530A electric saw were also noticed by experts. We are pleased to work with her, carpenters, roofers and professionals involved in the construction of houses from a bar.

Model UC3530A stands out a long guide - 40 cm, which allows you to cut logs of large diameter.

The advantages of the saw should also include mounting the chain and efficiently regulating its voltage without the aid of additional tools. As in the previous model, the manufacturer made sure that the operator could carry out the maintenance. The only drawback of the UC3530A saw is its dependence on the power source.

Chain saw electric UC4020A

Makit UC4020A power saw, as well as the previous model is powered by electric current. The undoubted advantage of the saw is also toolless replacement of the chain. Transverse engine placement is what sets the UC4020A apart from the two previous models of the Makita brand. This innovation reduces power loss, simplifies assembly and disassembly of the saw, and also allows you to work in an upright position. However, it is worth noting that this solution distinguishes the model with a wider body compared to the DCS230T and UC3530A models, which limits the equipment maneuvering capabilities.

Once again, the manufacturer has made every effort so that the operator can independently carry out any maintenance procedures, such as cleaning and sharpening the saw. The only pity is that chainsaws are not sold in a set with a file for sharpening the chain for the Makit electric saw and bearing oil.

Conclusion

Chainsaw DCS230T is addressed to supporters of free, unrestricted work thanks to an internal combustion engine. However, this affects its price, a more complicated way of use, the need to prepare the fuel mixture and such disadvantages as: noise, exhaust emissions.

In turn, the UC3530A model stands out with a long guide, which makes it possible to cut thick trees. But limited operation with an extension cord also has its drawbacks. In the case of the UC4020A model, an innovation is applied - the transverse mounting of the engine, which increases the power of the saw, but has a negative effect on ergonomics.

When choosing a suitable model for yourself, it is enough to answer the questions, for what works will the saw be used? What is the most important? Chainsaw or electric model? Less power and more maneuverability? Or more power, but limited opportunities to work in hard to reach places?

One thing is clear - Makita made sure that the user himself could easily choose the most suitable option. The parameters of Makit's electric saws are given in the instruction manual.
