Background and Identification
The Makita Chainsaw EA4300FR is a gas-powered saw with a 16 inch long guide bar. It has a 2.9 horsepower engine and vibration dampening capabilities. The model number EA4300FR no longer appears on the Makita website, and can only be found on the third-party website Chainsaws Direct. On the Makita website, there is a model number EA4300FRDB. However, these two products appear to have the same specifications. It is likely that they are essentially the same product, with different model numbers due to a revamp or small update that occurred at some point.
Chainsaws have an engine that is connected to a rotating chain. The chain is covered in directional teeth, which rotate and cut. Chainsaws are useful for a variety of applications. Most commonly, they are used for gardening and forestry activities such as tree felling, pruning, and firewood collecting. However, certain models of chainsaw can also be used for cutting concrete and ice for construction, ice sculpting, and other applications. Gas powered chainsaws like this one are preferred by outdoor workers, since they do not need a nearby outlet to function.
The replacement for the Chainsaw Guide Bar has the part number E-00103. The E-00103 product page lists the Makita Chainsaw EA4300FRDB as compatible. The new guide bar might work on the discontinued EA4300FR model.
