Chainsaw Makita UA004GZ 2.81 m Chain Length 20 m/s Speed

The Makita UA004GZ 2.81 m chainsaw combines a long 2.81 metre guide bar with a chain speed of 20 m/s and a 40 V Lithium‑Ion power source, designed for outdoor cutting tasks where extended reach and consistent cutting performance are required. Its compact body dimensions (width 156 mm, height 187 mm, length 2812 mm) make it suitable for working in tight spaces while still providing the reach of a long‑bar saw. The tool operates with a sound pressure level of 90 dB and is engineered for efficient cutting of medium to large branches and timber without the emissions of a petrol engine.

Advantages

The chainsaw delivers electric drive advantages such as reduced vibration and no direct exhaust, which simplifies maintenance and lowers operating noise relative to comparable petrol models. The high chain speed of 20 m/s ensures rapid and clean cutting action, while the long guide bar enables access to high or distant cuts from a stable position. Compact overall dimensions improve manoeuvrability for extended jobs and make storage easier. Battery operation provides cord-free use and predictable power delivery during use.

Suitable for

• Pruning and cutting medium to large branches at height
• Felling small to medium trees where a long bar is advantageous
• Working in residential gardens and parks where lower noise and zero exhaust are preferred
• Landscaping and arborist tasks that require extended reach without ladders

How to use

Before each use, fully charge the compatible 40 V Lithium‑Ion battery and inspect the chain tension, bar condition and chain lubrication. Mount the chainsaw securely and check the chain brake and safety features. Operate the saw with both hands, maintain a stable stance and cut at a steady pace to allow the chain to work efficiently at 20 m/s. Use controlled, continuous cutting motions; avoid forcing the bar through the wood. After use, clean debris from the bar and sprocket area, check chain tension again and store the tool with the bar cover in place.

Usage recommendations

For safe and efficient operation, use compatible 40 V Makita battery packs with adequate charge capacity and a recommended chain oil for continuous lubrication. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as eye protection, cut‑resistant gloves and chainsaw chaps. For high or overhead cuts, use secure access equipment and ensure the work area is clear of bystanders. Regularly inspect and sharpen the chain to maintain cutting performance and reduce motor load.
