Description of Makita Electric Chainsaw
Cutting occurs due to the transfer of torque from the engine to the gearbox, from the gearbox to the drive sprocket of the tire, which drives the chain with sharp teeth. The chain is lubricated simultaneously with the rotation.
The Makita electric chain saw is supplied to Russia in two engine locations. Saws with a motor along the tool axis are better balanced. It is convenient to work with them for a long time and to conduct an accurate cut. However, the design is complicated by the presence of a tapered clutch, and longitudinal motor saws are an expensive professional tool. These are models in the marking of which there is "30A". This instrument is longer, looks predatory.
For vertical cutting it will be more convenient to saw the modification "20A" if you cut from top to bottom and at right angles. But with such a saw, it is difficult to cut branches in trees due to unstable balancing. The Makita electric chain saw is ideal for cutting firewood, and there is no need to overpay several thousand for a professional tool.
The performance of the device depends on the power. For professional saws, you need a 2.5-4.0 kW motor, with a voltage stabilizer. Household models include models with a capacity of 1.5-2.0 kW. You need to choose a tool with a power reserve, since unstable voltage in the networks negatively affects the power unit.
The size of the tire must be matched to the nature of the job. You can cut logs for building a house from round timber using a tire length of 45 cm, in order to cut a 30 cm cutter on the trestle poles. Accordingly, the saw will be more compact and lighter with a smaller tire.
The flap lever in front of the handle is the chain brake. With a blow, a person throws it forward, he rests his hand on the shield, the engine stops. This is kickback protection.
The Makita electric chain saw has an engine overheating lock, a switch-on lock. A smooth increase in starting current allows you to gain momentum gradually, extending the service life of all components.
Professionals advise against buying a saw if it does not have a lock. This is the first sign that the model is counterfeit.
A review of electric chain saws revealed that Makita saws occupy the first places in the Yandex Market rating, conducted according to user surveys and product purchases.
