A nice saw. [Posted on 2004-07-08]
Solidly built, started easily and makes a lot of sawdust in a very short time.

I have a Makita chainsaw that I bought new almost 6 yrs ago.
I could not have asked for a better saw.I heat with firewood only.I use my Makita every year to cut my firewood.I've never had a problem with my Makita.Just changed the spark plug in it this year for the very first time.Great saw.

After reading a glowing review and seeing the price that was being offered for a Makita product. I thought I'd give their chainsaw a try. Their power tools have a pretty good reputation.
What a disappointment! The trigger throttle lock was too sensitive and difficult to manipulate. Would not "set" all the time when trying too initially start the saw. Then once the saw was started when you squeezed the the throttle trigger the engine would "die". Which led me to conclude that the throttle was not "set" properly. I was able to cold start it eventually. But then after a period of use, when I would stop. Refuel and re-oil it, and then try to start up again, the saw was extremely difficult to get started again. With less than an afternoon of usage I finally gave up! Perhaps this particular saw just happened to be a lemon. I use chainsaws quite extensively so I do know how to use them properly.
To Amazon's credit they did refund my money. I am satisfied with Amazon's service at this time.
After receiving my refund I went out and bought a new Husqvarna 455 rancher. Wow! What a product! No comparison whatsoever to my Makita experience. Like night and day.
I know why they tend to be a little more expensive. A great
machine. If you want a good chainsaw thats economical I would
go with a Sears Craftsman. (Believe it or not I have two , and they both work great). If you cut a lot of wood and want
something DEPENDABLE,powerful and durable, I would recommend spending the money and getting a Husky. I have a small Homelite and that is a great saw for the price too!
This is the first time I have ever written a review. I'm
writing this because I felt so strongly about about my negative experience. If you have never owned/operated a chainsaw before I would recommend skipping over a Makita and trying another brand first. I've just noticed recently that not many
of the farmers out here use a Makita chainsaw. Most of them
have Husky's. I think I may know why...............
