Reliable and ergonomic medium power mains powered electric chain saw. Designed for active domestic and semi-professional use in the local area, in the garden or workshops. It will help in pruning / trimming and even felling small trees. Able to perform carpentry work, extremely useful for preparing firewood. Equipped with a durable 1800W brushed motor that, due to its high efficiency, outperforms many gasoline engines with the same/higher power rating due to its high efficiency. It provides chain speeds up to 14 m/s, providing a good balance between performance and vibration levels. To reduce the latter, the Makita UC3541A saw is equipped with effective dampers. The reduced noise level of the electric motor creates a more comfortable working environment. An automatic oil pump is responsibl...e for lubricating the chain. The design of the saw is well thought out and ergonomic, which reduces hand fatigue during long-term work. There is a high-speed inertial chain brake that is activated in case of emergency situations (kickback or jamming).

Chain saw with a claim to the status of "professional"

The Makita UC3541A chain saw, designed for active household and professional use, is a tool of the middle power class. It is equipped with an 1800-watt motor. This technique can be very useful when performing any operations related to cutting wood. It can be used for trimming branches in the garden, felling small young trees, collecting firewood, or performing carpentry work on a construction site (for example, when constructing the frames of wooden houses or installing a roof truss system). The key advantages of this model include good ergonomics and good weight distribution. Therefore, this saw is especially loved by roofers who need to constantly hold the tool above their heads, and by workers involved in crowning trees.

Many pros and one minus

The saw is equipped with a 350 mm long bar. The instructions allow the installation of a tire of shorter (300 mm) or longer (400 mm) length, since the engine is designed for a wide range of loads. We liked the efficient oil supply system (with the ability to adjust its performance), which provides automatic dosed lubrication of the chain without splashes or drips of lubricant. Also noteworthy are the relatively quiet operation (as far as possible for a chain saw), low vibration level, the ability to install or remove the blade without tools and adjust the chain tension without keys.

However, the chain tension unit should be discussed separately. It has a very specific design. The fact is that (as conceived by Makita engineers) the chain tensioner also serves as a kind of “fuse” to protect the motor and gear train from overloads. Therefore, the tensioner pin may break if the chain hits a nail. This also happens when the chain is not tightened correctly. Although the stud costs literally pennies and is easily changed independently without contacting a service center, it is constantly mentioned in very unflattering words in almost every second or third review of the Makita UC3541A. In order to avoid problems with this unit, it is necessary to tension the chain strictly according to the instructions (after loosening the fasteners of the tire) and not to cut boards with nails. If you are not ready to put up with this feature, then in the Makita chain saw catalog you can select other models in which the chain tensioner is made differently and does not have the mentioned “trick”. For example, you might want to consider the 2000-watt Makita UC3550A (manual chain adjuster) or the Makita UC3551A (keyless tensioner).
