Seems That Makita UK/Dolmar Salesman are lying to us!

Makita have already started to go orange on their saws stateside, as well as some of their electrical products, too.

They were reluctant to go away from blue because that's their mark for so long. But they seem to be coming around to the fact a dark blue chainsaw is easily lost in the woods.

I dunno. I kinda like the Makita branding. I actually don't even mind the blue part. I am so used to seeing Home Depot specials from the states is likely why. But I do recall, back when 'Sawfun' and I were doing videos up in Oregon about saws since he had such an extensive collection, that the 7900 he had was slightly faster than my 046 was whilst pulling 28" bars in about the same diameter Douglas Fir. Upset me some since it also weighed less.

I think I'd like to see Dolmar written in white and using the Makita font type.

 

 

Is it just the lighting in those pics, or are the guards different shades/colours?

Anyone else noticed some chainsaws on the Makita UK site are now showing a 3 year warranty symbol? Such as this: https://www.makitauk.com/product/ea4300f38c.html

 

I wonder if this is a mistake or if they are bringing in a longer warranty?

I think that it is a mistake as their customer service won't entertain a 3-year warranty and State that it is only 1-year
