I have a similar chain tensioning system on my Stihl MS250. Convenient, but must be checked regularly as it works loose (even with older & well stretched chains). Time will tell if Makita got it figured out better.
@@StumpkillerCP in my experiences with both, I do prefer the Makita design over the Stihl. The "cogs" on the tensioning wheel stick out further allowing easier engagement with your fingers and more leverage for greater chain tension with less effort.
Yes very capable and great ergonomics.... limitation is battery life , but if you are on the Makita platform it is likely a non issue in most applilications
what i like to do when i work with mine (same saw) i drain the batterys half way and swap them for other set so they cool down and repeat. That way they can last a bit longer. And dont put hot batterys on the charger

Good job! Looks like a fine saw.

That's a great idea and tip!
That did way better then i thought given how early he gave an over heat warning.
Yeah I would say the biggest thing is letting the saw do the work....we tend to want to "muscle" chainsaws both gas and electric
If the saw worked that well in the hands of an complete amateur, it should work pretty well for anyone..
