Frequently asked questions
How thick a log can the Makita UC4051A cut?
The Makita UC4051A carries a 40.64 cm recommended bar, so it clears a trunk or limb of roughly that diameter in a single pass from one side; anything thicker needs cutting from both sides. Bar length sets the reach of the cut, and at 40.64 cm it goes beyond light pruning into firewood-sized rounds.
Is the Makita UC4051A cordless?
No, the Makita UC4051A is a corded electric chainsaw that plugs into the mains rather than running off a battery. There is no charge to manage and no runtime limit while it stays connected, but the saw is tied to a power outlet and extension cord, so it is not a saw for moving freely around a large plot.
How heavy is the Makita UC4051A?
The Makita UC4051A weighs 5.58 kg without bar and chain, carrying that mass forward on a 40.64 cm bar. It is a heavier saw than its smaller siblings in the range, which helps steady the cut on thicker wood but makes the nose feel front-loaded during extended trimming or limbing sessions overhead.
How fast does the chain move on the Makita UC4051A?
The Makita UC4051A drives a 3/8 inch pitch chain at 14.73 m/s. That is a moderate speed, geared toward controlled trimming and limbing cuts rather than fast felling, and the 3/8 inch pitch is a widely used size, so a replacement chain matching the 40.64 cm bar is easy to find.
How much chain oil does the Makita UC4051A hold, and why does that matter on a corded saw?
The Makita UC4051A holds 0.201 litres of chain oil. Because it runs off the mains with no battery to force a break, that small tank becomes the real limit on how long a session can run unattended: on the UC4051A, oil level, not charge, is what needs checking during a long continuous cut.
