Makita's new 61cc slimline 4.5hp professional chainsaw
Makita chainsaws are the exclusive choice of the British Military and the latest addition to the Makita professional chainsaw line, the EA6100P45D, is a 61cc machine developing 4.5hp and running up to 13,800rpm with a 45cm chain bar.
The 61cc 2-stroke engine develops 4.5hp with a power rating of 3.4Kw. This new compact, slim-line engine installation reduces the overall width of the machine making it even more manoeuvrable in forestry operation improving both comfort and safety. This engine features the Makita-designed SAS, Stratified Air Scavenging, system which ensures that any excess fuel mixture is recovered from the exhaust and re-burnt for power and the cleanest possible emissions. The EA6100P45D weighs just 6.0kg.
This new Makita 61cc professional chainsaw features the fulcrum vibration damping system that reduces machine vibration levels to just 5.0m/s² for the front handle and 4.0m/s² for the rear grip handle. The specification includes automatic chain brake for safety, automatic chain lubrication system, electronic ignition and de-compressor easy starting. This is a powerful, hard-working saw for forestry professionals.
