No cuenta con Batería, ni Cargador, y no hé logrado identificar que tipo de cargador y baterías debería comprar y su costo, lo cual encarecerá el costo del equipo. Procederé a su devolución

I don't write reviews but had to say how incredible this tool is. Have a lot of experience with chainsaws and this saw is unbeatable. It's Lightweight and cuts a lot on one battery.I was going to buy a knock off version and am so glad i didn't. Makita thought through the self lubrication and auto- tightening on the chain. Something the knock offs dont have.Interesting thing about the saw is it doesn't do well with tiny branches but will cut just about everything else. So If you pair it with some hand pruners you will take care of everything but large trees. I took out some 8 inch diameter trees but wouldn't recommend anything above 6 inches.Well worth the money for its ease of use and performance.

I got this to help my partner with some light yard work, as she has a medical condition that makes heavy shears and hard working hand sawing difficult.I did not expect much from such a cute little saw.It is amazing what I can actually cut through with ease! And it hardly drains the battery! A sharp blade I’m sure is a big contributor to its awesome performance, but a full day of yard work and brushing barely impacts the battery.Perfect for brush clean up and so much more. Definitely great for camp as well.Love this little monster.

I bought this for light pruning when climbing trees when I don't need to carry my larger chainsaws. this saw fills a good niche between my hand saw and hand pruners, and my smaller chainsaws. It also allows me to easily cut branches when it is difficult to find a good position for my hand saw.The saw feels very well balanced for using single-handed. As with most Makita tools it is nicely finished and feels like good quality.I thought the blade guard on the top would be a hindrance, but I haven't found that to be the case. I can still cut with the top of the blade, either by lifting the guard before starting the cut, or pressing the guard against the branch to be cut to get the guard out of the way. The saw definitely feels safer than I imagine it would without a blade guard! And it is nice to have at least part of the chain guarded from rubbing against me when the saw is hanging from my climbing saddle.There is no bar adjustment screw as on most chainsaws. Instead it is under spring tension. It remains to be seen how that holds up.I have used the saw to cut 4 inch (live) Coast Live Oak branches and it does so easily. It isn't a speed demon, and if you push it will stall. But I was expecting that would be the case. It gets through the wood decently fast without trying to force it. For light pruning while climbing around in tree canopies I would much rather carry this small lighter chainsaw than get a little more speed.The saw does not have a variable speed trigger. Though I would prefer that, it performs quite well without it.I am very happy with this saw!

I'm not ashamed to admit it... I love this thing! A couple of years ago, I borrowed a neighbor's Makita chainsaw (12" I think). It worked great and I was sold on the whole electric saw concept. My only issue was, for my needs, I had to have one that was even smaller and could be used one handed. Every year I find myself on a ladder trimming the palms on my property and a small, lightweight saw was exactly what I needed. Then, Makita finally brought this guy to the US and I jumped. It might be small... but it is mighty! Granted, you won't be cutting down any trees (bigger than 6" in diameter) but for saplings, branches, palm fronds, etc, etc, it works wonders. I would guess that a 1"-3" diameter is its sweet spot. That's 85% of what I use a chainsaw for anyway. Likes: 1, Size... It's easy to work in a tree/palm and maneuver it between branches/fronds to cut only what you want. 2, Design... A safety switch allows you to work left or right handed.... Chain tension is self adjusting... Easy to disassemble for cleaning... Has an oil reservoir. Dislikes: I'm not a big fan of the chain guard (but I understand why it's there).

I was very surprised with the usefulness of this small chainsaw. I'm glad I got the 6" model and not anything larger. I used it to prune old trees and it hand no problem cutting through 4"-5" branches. I brought my 14" gas chainsaw to do the larger pieces but never used it. The small size and light weight makes easy work of chopping limbs into smaller pieces to go in the trash or wood bin. This is not going to cut a tree down - but it will do 90% of the work once the tree is down. Plus it is extremely efficient with the battery. I used it for 3 hours (off and on) and the battery level only went down one light. I highly recommend this for anyone debating on whether to use a bigger chainsaw vs. this one. This will do all your work with no complaints.
