Frequently asked questions
What is the Makita EA5000PRGG built for?
Makita classes the EA5000PRGG as a professional saw, and the specification backs that up: a 50 cc engine giving 2.9 kW, or 3.9 hp, on a 50.8 cm bar. That combination is aimed at day-long felling, bucking and clearing work rather than the occasional weekend job around a garden.
How much does the Makita EA5000PRGG weigh for the power it makes?
The Makita EA5000PRGG weighs 5.4 kg without bar and chain while producing 2.9 kW from 50 cc. That is a lot of output for the mass, which is what makes a full day with the saw manageable, though bar, chain, a 0.47 litre fuel fill and 0.27 litres of oil all add to it.
What bar length does the Makita EA5000PRGG use?
The recommended bar length for the Makita EA5000PRGG is 50.8 cm, driven by a 50 cc engine rated at 2.9 kW. A bar that long reaches through trunks that a shorter saw would need two cuts for, and the 2.9 kW output is there to keep it pulling chain under load.
How high does the Makita EA5000PRGG rev and what chain does it run?
The Makita EA5000PRGG revs to a maximum of 13,800 rpm and runs a 3/8 inch pitch chain. Those high revs are where the 2.9 kW is made, so the saw wants to be worked at full throttle in the cut, and the 3/8 inch pitch is a common size for replacement chain.
How big are the tanks on the Makita EA5000PRGG?
The Makita EA5000PRGG carries 0.47 litres of fuel and 0.27 litres of chain oil. Because the oil tank holds a little over half what the fuel tank does, a tank of petrol should not run the bar dry, but it is still worth topping the oil up at every refuel.
What fuel mix does the Makita EA5000PRGG need?
The Makita EA5000PRGG takes a 50:1 petrol and two-stroke oil mix, meaning fifty parts fuel to one part oil. Mixing it wrong is the quickest way to damage the engine, so measure rather than estimate, and remember the 0.47 litre tank means each fill needs only a small amount of oil.
