Cordless brushless chainsaw for pruning, firewood preparation, timber cutting and light-duty carpentry applications within the Makita LXT platform
The Makita DUC357Z cordless chainsaw is equipped with a brushless motor and gear reduction mechanism designed to improve cutting torque efficiency while maintaining compact handling characteristics. Operating on the Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion platform, the saw delivers a chain speed of 7.7 m/s and uses a 35 cm guide bar with 3/8″ pitch chain configuration for controlled cutting performance in timber processing, pruning and maintenance work. The brushless motor architecture reduces mechanical wear while improving runtime efficiency under continuous cutting loads.
The rear-handle ergonomic layout improves operator control during horizontal and vertical cuts, while the low-noise operating profile makes the unit suitable for residential environments, maintenance contractors and property management applications. The integrated battery protection system monitors overload, over-discharge and overheating conditions to preserve battery service life and operational stability. Tool-free chain adjustment simplifies routine maintenance and chain tension correction during repetitive cutting operations.
