Background
Makita chainsaws are a leading brand of professional-grade tool saws produced by Makita, a Japanese power tool manufacturer that was founded in 1915. This category includes both electric and gas-powered chainsaws. Makita brand electric chainsaws are very popular for home users, as they are generally lightweight and portable. Gas powered chainsaws are preferred by forestry professionals, as they do not require a nearby outlet to function.
Chainsaws are made of an engine that is connected to a rotating chain. The chain is covered in directional teeth, which rotate and cut. Chainsaws are useful for a variety of applications. Most commonly, they are used for gardening and forestry activities such as tree felling, pruning, and firewood collecting. However, certain models of chainsaw can also be used for cutting concrete and ice for construction, ice sculpting, and other applications.
