Product Description

Makita 18Vx2 (36V) Brushless Chainsaw 350mm (DUC353 Range)

The Makita 18Vx2 Brushless Chainsaw 350mm (DUC353) delivers unbelievable cutting performance and freedom without the noise, fumes, and maintenance of traditional petrol chainsaws. Powered by two 18V LXT batteries, it supplies 36V of high-demand power to an advanced outer rotor brushless motor. This highly efficient direct-drive system generates a blazing chain speed of 1,200m/min (20m/s) and a maximum output of 1.1kW, providing performance equivalent to a 30cc petrol chainsaw. Whether you are felling small trees, bucking logs, or pruning large branches, the 350mm guide bar easily handles heavy-duty landscaping and property maintenance tasks.

Designed with user convenience and safety at the forefront, the DUC353 features a quick and easy tool-less chain adjustment system. An extendable lever allows you to quickly tension the saw chain and lock it securely into place without needing extra tools in the field. The variable speed trigger provides the exact same responsive control as a petrol accelerator, allowing for precise, controlled cuts. Built for harsh outdoor environments, it is equipped with Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), which carefully seals internal components to provide increased resistance against dust and dripping water.

Ideal For:

Landscapers & Arborists: Delivers the 30cc petrol-equivalent power needed for heavy pruning, felling, and clearing tasks with the quiet convenience of cordless operation.
Property Maintenance: Perfect for farmers, large property owners, and campers needing to clear fallen branches and cut firewood.
Noise-Sensitive Environments: Operates at a low noise level of 69dB, making it suitable for early morning use in residential areas, near schools, or around hospitals.

Key Features:

18Vx2 (36V) Outer Rotor Brushless Motor: A highly efficient direct-drive system that produces incredible power and a fast 20m/s chain speed.
Tool-Less Chain Adjustment: An extendable lever and dial system allows for fast, tool-free tightening of the saw chain.
Variable Speed Trigger: Gives the user complete control over the cutting speed, mimicking the feel of a petrol throttle.
eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT): Enhances the chainsaw's durability by protecting the internal circuitry from dust and moisture in harsh outdoor conditions.
Kickback Brake: The front hand guard acts as a safety mechanism; pushing it forward instantly stops the blade in the event of a kickback.
Adjustable Automatic Oiling: A 200mL oil tank automatically lubricates the chain, with adjustable flow rates to suit hard or soft wood cutting.
Metal Spike Bumper: Firmly grips the log or workpiece to provide better leverage and control, making cutting significantly easier.
Auto Power-Off: The main power switch automatically turns off the chainsaw after 1 minute of inactivity to preserve battery life and enhance safety.

DUC353Z: Tool Only (Skin) - No batteries or charger included.
DUC353PT2 Kit: Includes the Chainsaw, 2x 18V 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B), and 1x Dual Port Rapid Charger (DC18RD).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DUC353Z and the DUC353PT2?

The DUC353Z is the 'Skin Only' version, which does not include batteries or a charger. The DUC353PT2 is a comprehensive kit that includes the chainsaw, two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, and a dual-port rapid charger.

Does this chainsaw require two batteries?

Yes. It utilizes Makita's 18Vx2 technology, meaning it requires two 18V LXT batteries to be installed simultaneously to deliver its full 36V of power to the brushless motor.

How powerful is it compared to a petrol chainsaw?

Thanks to the advanced outer rotor brushless motor and 36V power, the DUC353 delivers a maximum output of 1.1kW, providing cutting performance equivalent to a 30cc petrol chainsaw.

Do I need tools to tighten the chain?

No, it features a tool-less chain tension adjustment system. You simply use the extendable lever and dial on the side of the saw to quickly loosen the bar, tension the chain, and lock it back into place.

How does the automatic chain lubrication work?

The chainsaw features a 200mL oil tank that automatically lubricates the chain while you cut. You can also regulate the amount of oil flow, allowing you to increase or decrease the lubrication based on whether you are cutting hard or soft wood.

What safety features does it have?

It is equipped with a kickback brake integrated into the front hand guard; if the saw kicks back, your hand pushes the guard forward, stopping the blade instantly. It also has a metal spike bumper to firmly grip the wood for control, and an auto power-off function that shuts the saw down after 1 minute of inactivity.

Is it safe to use in damp or dusty conditions?

Yes. The chainsaw is built with Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), which features carefully sealed internal circuitry to protect the tool from dust and dripping water in harsh outdoor environments.
