Makita releases its new cordless chainsaw: Makita has released its new professional cordless UC030G 40VMax 500mm Brushless XGT® Chainsaw, designed for demanding cutting tasks where reliability, durability and high performance are essential.
Built to deliver petrol-like power, equal to or greater than that of a 50cc-class chainsaw, it features fast chain speeds and practical safety enhancements, making it suitable for professional forestry work.

With efficient brushless motor technology, three chain speed modes and a maximum cutting speed of 29.0 m/s, the new UC030G offers outstanding control and the power needed to take on tough hardwoods such as oak and ash. The chainsaw is available as part of the UC030GE101 kit which features the BL4080H 8.0Ah XGT® tabless battery and the DC40RA XGT® battery charger, or as the body only (UC030GZ).
Since the tool runs without petrol, it minimises professionals’ contact with petrol fumes and significantly cuts noise and vibration levels. Additionally, thanks to its brushless motor, the tool provides more power and longer runtime compared to a brushed motor. With fewer components inside the motor, there is also a reduced risk of wear, which could otherwise result in costly repairs.
Additionally, the UC030G is designed to work safer. For example, when the tool locks as a result of excessive load, removing the load will allow the motor to restart immediately if the trigger is held down, enabling the user to continue to make the same cut without the need to retrigger and lift the saw.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK commented: “The new UC030G offers an ideal solution for landscaping professionals. To maximise the tool’s power, it is recommended that the tool is used alongside the BL4080H 8.0Ah XGT® – the largest capacity tabless battery offered by Makita. As a result of its increased capacity and high output, the battery enables more efficient energy transfer to improve the tool’s performance.”
