The MAKITA chain saw DCS 9000 is a high-efficiency, modern chain saw for professional application, which can be used for cutting strong wood. It is ideal for the use in forests and for cutting long wood in sawmills.

Due to its high-power driving mechanism it is most useful for cutting down strong trees. At the same time the chain saw is of a slim, practical design which allows to carry out tension releasing work without any difficulties.

The MAKITA DCS 9000 is a high-efficiency universal chain saw for hard work in forests.

You havepurchaseda high-efficiencydeviceof a new generation, which has the following outstanding characteristics:

Excellent power to weight ratio, i. e. high engine power combined with low weight.

A high torque at a low rate of revolutions as a result of a favorable stroke-bore ratio, a computer calculated cylinder design and an asymmetric combustion chamber.

Consequently you can use avery wide speed range in which the engine has a high output. In addition, the chain saw has a low fuel consumption and as a result only a low emission of polluting substances.

The intelligent, programme controlled ignition system works maintenance-free and allows easy starting, smooth idling and good running at all speeds.
