Straight out of the box, the Makita DCS510-18 chainsaw weighs in at about 18 pounds, which places it at the rather heavy end of the chainsaw size continuum. That shouldn't be much of a problem anyway- the chainsaw's power to weight ratio definitely justifies its size. It delivers as much power for its size compared to most chainsaws in this segment of its food chain.

The Makita chainsaw features a 50cc engine, with the rather amazing ability to keep itself quiet during its operation. Chainsaws of this size tend to be the noisiest, but the Makita doesn't disappoint when it promises to keep silent most of the time.

Most Makita units feature an integrated chain brake with external sprockets to simplify installation of the chain and most of its parts, and enables its users to easily clean the saw in the bar mounting area. The machine's automatic half throttle lock can be activated through a pull lever that sets half throttle and choke at the same time.

Users of the product often rave how much they like the chainsaw while using it, and praise the machine's power to weight ratio- sure, it is a handful to take, but the chainsaw definitely delivers when it comes to cutting those trees for your job.
