Background and Identification
The Makita model EA4300F40B is a gasoline-powered rear handle chainsaw produced by Makita. A chainsaw is an electric or gasoline-powered mechanical saw mainly used to cut wood. Chainsaws include a set of teeth attached to a chain that spins around a guide bar.
The EA4300F40B model includes a 42 cubic inch engine and a 16-inch bar. It features a two-sided magnesium crankcase for durability. It also includes a spring-assisted starter and Memory Power Ignition (MPI) technology that is designed to make starting the chainsaw faster and easier, reducing the force required for starting the chainsaw. The chainsaw’s fleece air filter includes a two-piece cover that can be removed for maintenance without any tools. The two-point inertia/mechanical chain brake and metal spike bars are designed to enhance durability. A touch-and-stop single lever control turns off the chainsaw’s engine with a touch of the finger. A slide-out baffle can be configured for more efficient cold weather operation, and a primer pump is designed for easy cold starting. The chainsaw also includes a vibration dampening system and a reversible sprocket nose bar with an oil retaining feature for improved bar and chain lubrication.
The Makita model EA4300F40B is part of Makita’s orange line of power tools, so it can be identified by its orange body with black details and handles. The name “Makita” is printed in white cursive font across the side of the chainsaw’s main body and along the length of the chainsaw’s bar.
