Makita 18V Brushless 400mm Chainsaw (Skin Only) – Cordless Chainsaw
Dominate heavy-duty landscaping, pruning, and firewood preparation without the deafening noise, toxic fumes, or frustrating pull-starts of petrol engines with the Makita 18V Brushless 400mm Chainsaw (DUC407ZX2). In professional grounds maintenance, lugging heavy jerry cans and fighting with seized carburetors destroys productivity. This highly advanced cordless chainsaw is powered by a state-of-the-art brushless motor that delivers a phenomenal 0.61kW of max output power. By utilizing a highly specialized internal gear reduction system, it maximizes torque, driving the narrow 1.1mm chain at an aggressive 7.7m/s to effortlessly and smoothly slice through dense Australian hardwoods and thick tree limbs.
Operator safety and maintenance convenience are deeply integrated into the DUC407 design. This premium Makita 18V chainsaw features an intuitive, tool-less chain tensioning system. A simple twist of the dial allows you to loosen, tighten, or entirely replace the 400mm bar and chain in seconds while out in the field. For absolute peace of mind, it is equipped with a rapid-acting electric brake that instantly stops the chain the moment the trigger is released, alongside a mechanical lock-off button to prevent accidental spool-up. Perfectly balanced with ergonomic handles, this brushless chainsaw is the ultimate lightweight, high-torque cutting solution for arborists, farmers, and heavy-duty domestic users.
*Important Note: This is a "Tool Only" (Skin Only) product. The Makita 18V Li-Ion Battery and Charger are NOT included and must be purchased separately or utilized from your existing Makita 18V LXT tool kit.
