Background and Identification

The Makita Chainsaw model UC4030A is a mid-sized 16-inch electric chainsaw designed for light household projects and yard work within reach of a power source. The chainsaw features an electric chain brake for increased productivity. The UC4030A model is designed for easy maintenance with one-touch “tool-less” blade and chain adjustments.

The Makita Chainsaw model UC4030A includes a large trigger switch with a “soft-start” for smooth start-ups. A built-in current limited helps protect the chainsaw’s motor from burnout by reducing the power to the motor when the saw becomes overloaded. A large oil reservoir with a view window allows the operator to easily check the bar oil level. The chainsaw features an automatic chain oiler for heavy continuous cutting. Its chain has a maximum speed of 2,600 feet per minute. This chainsaw requires a chain with a 0.050-inch gauge, 3/8-inch pitch, and 16-inch length.

The Makita Chainsaw model UC4030A can be identified by its model number, which is typically printed on a sticker on the chainsaw’s safety plate, which is located directly in front of the machine’s main handle. The name “Makita” is printed in cursive font on the side of the chainsaw’s main body and on the chainsaw bar. The chainsaw’s main body is teal with black accents. Rubberized grip handles are included for user comfort.
