Makita DUC306 Twin 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Top Handle Chainsaw 300mm
The Makita DUC306 is a cordless brushless top handle chainsaw designed exclusively for professional tree surgeons requiring freedom of movement and reliable cutting performance at height.
Powered by two 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries connected in series, the DUC306 delivers a 36V DC motor drive system without the noise, fumes, or cord restrictions of petrol alternatives. The brushless motor maximises efficiency and extends runtime, making it well suited to sustained arboricultural work.
Safety is central to the DUC306's design, with both a kickback brake and an electric chain brake providing rapid response in demanding conditions. A metal spike bumper firmly grips the workpiece for improved control, while the torque boost mode temporarily raises the current limit to handle thicker branches without stalling.
Practical details include a waist hook that positions the guide bar straight down when the saw is not in use, captive nuts to prevent loss during bar removal, and an oil capacity display to monitor lubrication levels at a glance. A main power switch with auto power-off adds an additional layer of operational safety.
Please note: This chainsaw is intended for use by trained tree surgeons only.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Chainsaws
Always make sure your oil is topped up & your chain is tensioned correctly. This will ensure your chain life is extended & more importantly is operating safely.
Remember Chainsaws are dangerous. Do not attempt to use one if you have not fully read the instructions, are confident in the correct use & have adequate safety equipment & clothing.
