Makita DUC355 36V Brushless Chainsaw 350mm (14-Inch) – Cordless Chainsaw
Execute highly efficient timber processing, tree felling, and heavy-duty outdoor landscaping completely off the electrical grid with the highly advanced Makita DUC355 36V Brushless Cordless Chainsaw. In the demanding commercial arboriculture, agricultural, and construction sectors, relying on traditional petrol chainsaws presents severe logistical hurdles; they require complex fuel mixing, emit toxic exhaust fumes, and demand constant engine servicing. This professional-grade cordless chainsaw provides the essential, high-efficiency battery-powered solution. Engineered with an advanced Brushless (BL) motor, it eliminates internal carbon friction, delivering explosive cutting power and rapid chain speeds without the severe noise, weight, or frustrating starting procedures of a combustion engine.
Designed for absolute worksite productivity and unparalleled operator ergonomics, the Makita DUC355 operates on the universal Makita 18V Li-Ion platform. By utilizing two 18V batteries simultaneously, it delivers a robust 36V of continuous cutting power, driving the massive 350mm (14-inch) chain at an exceptionally high speed of up to 20 m/s. Unlike domestic models, the DUC355 features heavy-duty 'Captive Bar Nuts' for absolutely solid bar retention under extreme cutting pressure. Heavily equipped with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a variable speed trigger, and an adjustable automatic chain oiling system, these elite garden power tools provide professional landscapers and builders with a virtually indestructible, highly maneuverable asset for executing clean, rapid cuts through thick hardwood.
Who Is The Makita 36V Brushless Chainsaw (DUC355) Ideal For?
The Makita DUC355 delivers a 350mm guide bar, a 36V brushless motor, and heavy-duty captive bar nuts. It is highly recommended for:
-
Landscapers & Arborists: Utilizing a highly robust, petrol-equivalent cordless chainsaw to rapidly process fallen branches and execute essential tree maintenance across large commercial estates completely free of toxic exhaust fumes.
-
Carpenters & Builders: Relying on the high chain speed (20 m/s) and completely solid bar retention to cleanly and accurately slice through thick structural timber beams and hardwood sleepers on active construction sites without the blade wandering.
-
Agricultural & Farm Workers: Taking absolute advantage of the XPT protection and reliable brushless motor. It provides farmers with a low-maintenance, instantly starting saw for clearing massive fallen trees off fence lines during heavy storms.
-
Facility OH&S Managers: Deploying premium power tool accessories and equipment that operate at a highly manageable 69 dB, ensuring staff can execute property maintenance during business hours without causing severe noise pollution.
Key Features and Performance Benefits:
-
Heavy-Duty Captive Bar Nuts: The ultimate professional advantage. Unlike tool-less dials that can loosen under extreme vibration, this saw uses a spanner to lock two heavy-duty nuts down, ensuring absolute, uncompromising bar retention. The nuts are 'captive', meaning they will not fall off the cover and get lost in the dirt.
-
Extreme 36V Cutting Power: Delivers unyielding cutting force. The 18Vx2 system generates an immense chain speed of 20 m/s, completely matching the sheer cutting performance of a petrol chainsaw, allowing you to slice through thick hardwood effortlessly.
-
Advanced Brushless (BL) Motor: Ensures long-term commercial reliability. By eliminating traditional carbon brushes, the motor runs significantly cooler, generates immense torque, and extracts maximum runtime from the 18V batteries, completely removing the need for engine servicing.
-
Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Built for worksite survival. The internal components and battery ports are engineered with specialized seals that highly resist harsh dust and dripping water, ensuring the machine survives grueling operations in severe outdoor weather.
-
Variable Speed Trigger: Enhances operational versatility. The operator has identical, dynamic control over the chain speed as they would with a petrol accelerator. This allows for slow, highly precise initial cuts before ramping up to maximum speed to finish the log.
