How Dolmar Became Makita. Makita acquired Dolmar in 1991. While Makita was a familiar name in the realm of electric-powered tools, Dolmar was known for its gasoline-powered tools. Combining their knowledge and expertise enabled them to create an outstanding marriage of raw power and cutting-edge technology.

Hand. Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed. And the spike bar in contact with the wood. And cut with the lower edge of the bar. Hold the chainsaw.

More than Just a Motor Right now, the Makita LXT line uses at least 5 different BL motors to power their brushless tools. That's not the whole story, though. Those brushless motors need a power source - Makita 18V LXT battery packs.

The LXT range, or LXT tools, uses 18V batteries. This range also offers tools using 36V but powered by two 18V batteries. The LXT brushless products are very durable, and they are considered the best in the world.

Discover the Makita LXT Range Makita's 18V LXT range showcases the pinnacle of cordless technology, offering exceptional power, runtime, and durability. With a comprehensive lineup of tools and accessories, you can create a custom toolkit tailored to your specific needs.

Makita Corporation (株式会社マキタ, kabushiki gaisha Makita) (TYO: 6586) is a Japanese manufacturer of power tools. Founded on March 21, 1915, it is based in Anjō, Japan and operates factories in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Romania, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Canada, and the United States.

Makita was founded in 1915, in Nagoya – an industrial city in Japan. The business originally sold and repaired light fixtures, motors and transformers. The very first Makita power tool was produced over forty years later, in 1958 – a hand-operated electric planer.

But for cleaning up fallen limbs, landscape maintenance, and tree pruning, battery chainsaws are more than up to the job. And chances are you already own a string trimmer or other cordless tool that uses a battery that can power the chainsaw.

Electric chainsaws are best used for sprucing up trees, trimming limbs, cutting small logs, and other cutting tasks around your home or yard.

Makita batteries are not all the same: larger batteries are intended for the LXT range and offer more power than the CXT range. The G-Series offers the same power as the LXT range, but is not as efficient. All the batteries are designed differently to help ensure you don't put the wrong one in your tool and damage it.

Since its introduction on October 3, 2005, Makita's LXT Series featuring 18V Lithium-Ion Battery Technology has been providing the professional end-user with more work solutions.
