makita dcs230t

[raker]

Opinions please gents.Picked this up cheap as a non runner from a boy that used it for firewood.Thirty quid with good compression.

Turned out it just needed a new carb rubber, which makita call an insulator.On the face of it, after a thorough strip and clean, it seems a great lightweight saw with very cheap spares.

Cant see where i can fit a strap at the moment.No obvious attachment point but i`m sure i will figure something out.

Cheers.

We use a strop as the loop is broken off the down side is you end up going thru more off the rubbers we keep 2 in stock as well as the air filters which aren't easy to clean but they are good little saws I reckon we use them for 70% off the cutting that we do the bigger saw that makita do isn't as good

Cheers breezeblock.I`ve put a strop on the handle.By the looks of things it will be more secure than the original arangement.Thanks for the input.
