35 cm 18 V LXT BLDC chainsaw DUC357ZX3

Power and Precision in a Compact Housing

The 35 cm bar cordless chainsaw is a tool designed for everyday garden work and minor carpentry tasks. Thanks to the LXT 18 V power system, the device offers flexible power supply, allowing the use of batteries from a wide range of professional power tools of this brand. The construction based on a brushless motor (BLDC) not only increases torque, resulting in reliable cutting even in harder wood, but also significantly extends the device's lifespan by eliminating brushes that require replacement.

The device weighs only 2.9 kg, making it extremely maneuverable and easy to control when working overhead or in difficult terrain. Low weight is key to reducing operator fatigue during longer cutting sessions. The vibration damping plate (3 axes) effectively suppresses vibrations transmitted to the user's hands – the vibration level during wood cutting is 5.4 m/s², which is a significant factor in work ergonomics and safety.

Cutting Performance and Operational Characteristics

The heart of this chainsaw is a modern brushless motor, which generates a chain speed of 7.7 m/s. Such speed ensures fast and clean cutting, minimizing the risk of the tool getting stuck in the material. The chain with a 3/8 inch pitch and 1.1 mm bar groove width is standard in the gardening tool class, facilitating access to spare parts and replacement of consumables. The 35 cm (14 inch) bar length allows cutting logs up to approximately 28-30 cm in diameter in a single pass, meeting the needs of most maintenance tasks around the home.

Please note that the DUC357ZX3 model is a "solo" version, meaning the tool is supplied without batteries and charger. The user must have compatible Li-Ion cells from the LXT series (e.g., BL1850B or BL1860B) to operate the device. This setup allows for optimization of initial costs for professionals who already own a Makita tool fleet or for customers who wish to purchase only the necessary accessories later.

Applications and Work Ergonomics

The tool is ideal for:

• Pruning branches of fruit and ornamental trees
• Cutting firewood up to 30 cm in diameter
• Construction work requiring quick trimming of beams or planks
• Emergency removal of fallen branches after storms

The rear handle design ensures a stable grip and full control over the cutting direction. The XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology) system protects the internal components from dust and moisture, increasing resistance to harsh weather conditions typical for outdoor work. Thanks to this, the chainsaw can be used not only on dry summer days but also in light rain or in humid forests.

It is worth emphasizing that the absence of carbon brushes in the motor means no need for their periodic replacement and lower electricity consumption while maintaining high output power. This solution will be particularly appreciated by installers and gardeners who value equipment reliability over many seasons of work without the need for mechanical motor servicing. Key parameters such as voltage 18 V, chain speed 7.7 m/s, pitch 3/8", bar groove width 1.1 mm, weight 2.9 kg, and vibration level 5.4 m/s² are integral parts of the design ensuring high performance and user comfort in various environmental conditions.
