Cordless brushless chainsaw kit for pruning, firewood preparation, maintenance cutting and light-duty timber applications within the Makita LXT platform
The Makita DUC357RT cordless chainsaw combines a brushless motor with a gear reduction transmission system to improve cutting torque efficiency while maintaining compact dimensions and controlled handling characteristics. Operating on the Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion platform, the saw reaches a maximum chain speed of 7.7 m/s and uses a 35 cm guide bar with 3/8″ pitch chain configuration for pruning, cross-cutting and property maintenance work. The brushless motor architecture minimizes internal wear and improves runtime efficiency under repetitive cutting loads.
The rear-handle ergonomic design improves control during angled and horizontal cutting operations, while the low-noise operating profile makes the unit suitable for residential maintenance environments and contractors working in noise-sensitive areas. Integrated electronic battery protection monitors overload, overheating and over-discharge conditions to preserve battery longevity and operational stability. The supplied 5Ah LXT battery provides extended runtime compared to compact battery configurations and is fully compatible with the wider Makita 18V LXT cordless platform.
