Designed for arborists, tree surgeons, landscapers, and grounds maintenance professionals requiring a lightweight top-handle chainsaw for pruning and canopy management applications.
The Makita DUC258Z is an 18V LXT® top-handle chainsaw engineered specifically for pruning and precision tree maintenance work. Powered by a high-efficiency brushless motor, the saw delivers a maximum chain speed of 24 m/s for fast and controlled cutting performance. The compact top-handle configuration improves manoeuvrability when working in confined areas, while the 250 mm guide bar provides the capacity required for routine branch removal, crown reduction, and maintenance pruning tasks.
The brushless motor design reduces maintenance requirements and improves operating efficiency compared with conventional brushed systems. Adjustable automatic chain lubrication ensures a consistent supply of oil to the chain and guide bar, supported by a 140 ml oil reservoir. Variable speed control allows the operator to match chain speed to the cutting application for improved control and cut quality. Weighing from just 2.6 kg with battery, the lightweight construction helps reduce operator fatigue during extended pruning operations.
