Performs well with some decent cutting power and a whole lot easier for those quick jobs than the bigger petrol chainsaw I have. Decent capacity oil tank is easy enough to fill but not as easy as my petrol chainsaw as difficult to see how much until near the top. Not exactly the most satisfying noise but not as deafening as petrol although published decibel figures are similar, which is hard to believe. Had to check the saw chain spec as states it requires a 4.5mm round file to sharpen which indeed it does say, but you try using 4.5 its VERY tight, maybe it will wear in :-)

Easy to set up and tension the chain. 200ml of oil provided - you'll need more to fill the reservoir. Good safety features. Cuts very efficiently and smoothly. Had difficulty finding an Oregon replacement chain (not that I need it yet) similar to the one provided. More chains available for the 350mm Makita saw.

Awesome piece of kit and more powerful than expected. Little but heavy for single handed use but not too bad.
