Makita EA3200SRBB
Designed for homeowners and occasional users, this compact gas chainsaw from Makita's EA series delivers reliable performance for light to moderate cutting tasks. Its 32cc two-stroke engine generates 1.8 horsepower, providing sufficient power for pruning, firewood cutting, and small tree felling while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency with its 50:1 fuel mixture.
Weighing just 4.08 kg without bar and chain, this lightweight saw reduces user fatigue during extended use. The recommended 35.56cm (14-inch) bar with 3/8" low-profile chain offers optimal balance between cutting capacity and maneuverability. With fuel and oil tank capacities of 0.4L and 0.29L respectively, the EA3200SRBB provides adequate runtime for typical residential tasks while keeping the overall weight manageable.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Makita EA3200SRBB best suited for?
Makita classes the EA3200SRBB as a saw for the occasional user, and the specification backs that up: a 32 cc engine rated at 1.3 kW, or 1.8 hp, on a recommended 35.56 cm bar. That combination handles pruning, bucking firewood and clearing fallen branches, rather than repeated felling of large timber.
What bar length does the Makita EA3200SRBB use?
The Makita EA3200SRBB is specified with a recommended bar length of 35.56 cm. Makita does not publish a maximum bar length for this saw, so the 35.56 cm figure is the one to work from. That length matches the 32 cc engine and keeps the nose light enough for controlled cuts at chest height.
How much does the Makita EA3200SRBB weigh?
The Makita EA3200SRBB weighs 4.08 kg without bar and chain. Add the 35.56 cm bar, a chain, 0.4 litres of fuel and 0.29 litres of chain oil and the saw in your hands is appreciably heavier. Even so, 4.08 kg dry is light for a 32 cc petrol saw and helps on longer pruning sessions.
What chain pitch does the Makita EA3200SRBB take?
The Makita EA3200SRBB uses a 3/8 inch low profile chain, listed as 3/8" LP. Low profile means shallower cutters than a full 3/8 inch chain: it removes wood a little more slowly but kicks back less and asks less of the 1.3 kW engine, which is the right trade-off on an occasional-use saw.
How fast does the Makita EA3200SRBB engine turn?
The Makita EA3200SRBB reaches a maximum speed of 12,800 rpm. That is a high ceiling for a 32 cc engine and it is how the saw gets 1.3 kW out of a small displacement. In practice it means keeping the throttle wide open through the cut, because this engine makes its power near the top of the range.
What fuel does the Makita EA3200SRBB use and how big are the tanks?
The Makita EA3200SRBB runs on a 50:1 two stroke mix, so petrol must be blended with two stroke oil before filling. The fuel tank holds 0.4 litres and the separate chain oil tank 0.29 litres. Those sizes are close enough that one oil fill roughly matches one tank of fuel, so top up both together.
