-Power Supply

Connect chain saw to correct voltage, that is, be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool (11).

-Replacement Parts

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts (11).

-Polarized Plugs

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

-Wear ear protectors during operation.

-Before making a felling cut, remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.

-Secure the log so that it will not rol or move suddenly during operation.

-AVOlD UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.

-Attention! Do not expose this tool to rain (12) and pull plug immediately if the supply cable is damaged or cut (13).

-The chain saw must not be left outdoors during rain and it must not be used when wet.

VOLTAGE WARNING:

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Use of Extension Cord

If the extension cord is intended to be used outdoors, the cord shall be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation, for example - SJTW-A, to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-heating. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Keep the cord away from the cutting area and to position cord so that it will not be caught on branches, and the like, during cutting. Use the table below to determine the proper wire size required in the extension cord.

Contact MAKITA Authorized or Factory Service Center if a proper extension cord cannot be found.

UC 3000, UC 3500, UC 4000 specifications

Makita, a leader in power tools, has developed a range of electric chainsaws designed for efficiency, power, and user comfort. Among these, the UC 3000, UC 3500, and UC 4000 models stand out, each offering unique features tailored to different cutting needs.

The Makita UC 3000 is an excellent choice for light to medium-duty tasks. It sports a 3000-watt motor, providing ample power for trimming branches, cutting firewood, and general garden maintenance. One of its key features is the tool-less chain tensioning system, which allows users to adjust the chain quickly and safely without the need for additional tools. The UC 3000 is equipped with an automatic chain lubrication system that ensures the chain runs smoothly and maintains optimal performance. Weighing relatively light, this model promotes user comfort and reduces fatigue during prolonged use.

Moving up in power, the Makita UC 3500 delivers a robust 3500-watt motor. This model is well-suited for more demanding jobs, such as cutting larger trees or heavy-duty landscaping tasks. The UC 3500 also features the tool-less chain tensioning system, providing an efficient and hassle-free experience. The automatic oiling mechanism continues to support the chain’s health, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Additionally, the UC 3500 includes an ergonomic design with a comfortable grip to minimize vibrations, enhancing user control during operation and improving overall safety.

The UC 4000 takes power and performance to the next level, boasting a strong 4000-watt motor. This model is ideal for professional landscapers and those who regularly undertake heavy-duty cutting tasks.
