Makita electric chainsaw are a great alternative to traditional petrol chainsaws for a variety of sawing jobs.

You won't have to fool around with mixing, storing, or buying 2-stroke fuels and oils if you go electric or cordless - how simple is that?

Plus, you can avoid much of the stench, noise, and continuous maintenance that comes with a petrol machine, making sawing chores much more approachable while also saving you time and money.

Look no farther than the UC4041A 1800W 400mm Makita Electric Chainsaw if you're seeking the ideal Makita electric chainsaw!

This chainsaw can fell trees up to 35cm in diameter thanks to its powerful 1800W motor and 400mm (40cm/16") bar.

You'll adore this Makita electric chainsaw as a low-maintenance, low-noise alternative to petrol-powered equipment for pruning trees and cutting firewood.

What About Chainsaws That Don’t Have A Cord?

We also have a great selection of Makita cordless chainsaws! They are available in 18V Li-Ion and 36V Li-Ion versions to suit a variety of applications.

Makita 18V chainsaws use a single Makita 18V Li-Ion battery, the same as the one used in Makita 18V cordless power tools.

Makita 36V chainsaws use two 18V Makita Li-Ion batteries, so you may use your ordinary 18V batteries with these machines instead of buying a specialised 36V battery and charger!
