Frequently asked questions
What is the Makita EA3201SRBB intended for?
Makita lists the EA3201SRBB for the occasional user, and the numbers agree: a 32 cc engine producing 1.3 kW, or 1.8 hp, on a 35.56 cm bar. That is a saw for pruning, cutting up fallen limbs and making a modest amount of firewood, not for daily felling on a working property.
What bar and chain does the Makita EA3201SRBB use?
The Makita EA3201SRBB carries a 35.56 cm bar with 3/8 inch pitch chain. That bar reaches through limbs and trunks of roughly 35 cm in one pass, and the 3/8 inch pitch is a widely stocked size, so replacement chains and matching sharpening files for the EA3201SRBB are easy to find.
How much does the Makita EA3201SRBB weigh?
The Makita EA3201SRBB weighs 4.26 kg without bar and chain. Adding the 35.56 cm bar, a chain, 0.4 litres of fuel and 0.28 litres of bar oil pushes the working weight higher, but at well under 5 kg dry the EA3201SRBB stays among the lighter petrol saws and is manageable for occasional use.
How big are the tanks on the Makita EA3201SRBB?
The Makita EA3201SRBB holds 0.4 litres of fuel and 0.28 litres of chain oil. The two are sized so the oil roughly lasts a tank of fuel, which means filling both together is a sound habit. A 0.4 litre fuel tank is small, so expect regular stops during longer cutting sessions.
What fuel mix does the Makita EA3201SRBB need?
The Makita EA3201SRBB runs on a 50:1 petrol and two-stroke oil mix, poured into its 0.4 litre fuel tank. Getting that ratio right matters on a small 32 cc engine: too little oil risks a seizure, too much fouls the plug and costs power. Chain oil goes in a separate 0.28 litre tank.
How fast does the Makita EA3201SRBB engine turn?
The Makita EA3201SRBB revs to a maximum of 12,800 rpm, which is high for a chainsaw and is how a 32 cc engine manages to deliver 1.3 kW, or 1.8 hp. Small engines make their power with revs rather than displacement, so the EA3201SRBB needs full throttle in the cut to work as intended.
