Compact cordless chainsaw for clean, efficient cuts on site or in the yard.

This 12-inch cordless brushless chainsaw is designed for reliable, everyday cutting tasks in woodworking, landscaping and property maintenance. Powered by an 18V battery system compatible with Makita B-series lithium batteries, it delivers 1000-1299W of power through a high-efficiency brushless motor. With a 3/8" LP, 45DL chain and a maximum cutting diameter of 250 mm (10 inch), it handles pruning, limbing and cutting firewood with consistent performance.

At approximately 3 kg (without battery) and 175 × 578 mm in length, the saw is easy to control and transport, especially when working at height or in tight spaces. The brushless motor runs with reduced noise and less heat, supporting longer runtimes and extended service life. Safety-focused details include a safety lock that must be pressed before the trigger, a quick-stop chain brake, a front hand guard and an automatic oiling system to keep the chain lubricated during continuous use.
