Now to my main criticism:
- The chain tensioner ... a very small pin with the chain is tensioned, is canceled for me. After exactly 5 branches (which were not very thick). The material thickness of the chain tensioner is only 2mm, add to that a hole that makes him even more vulnerable and unstable. The chain I normally tensioned according to the instructions ... I do not know whether you want to cut at Makita with a loose chain, the chain tensioner makes at least the impression. Solely because this defect I can advise anyone who saw to buy, for me it is scrap factory, even if it is Makita. (I just see ... not only I had the problem ... see recessions ...)
Another point is the oil pump or the factory-set quantity of oil. One should consider whether not too much oil on the chain ... with me was much set too much ... a beautiful mess, especially when you have to return the item but right after the first or second cut.
I am going to try a different model ... before I see me but at the hardware store or on the network, the machine closely.
