This saw is made by Dolmar Sachs in Germany.It is a detuned version of Dolmars 5100 Saw that has become a favorite of pros. the saw has a chrome cylinder great anti vibration system.it also meets 300 hr emission standards.this saw has a great power to weight ratio and will cut cut as fast as any other premium saw on the market.the chain that comes with it cuts Ok.I replaced the chain with a full chisel woodland pro chain (9.95 At Baileys forestry supply)and the saw cut much better.

This review is from: Makita DCS510-18 Commercial Grade 18-Inch 50cc 2-Stroke 3.2 HP Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
I was looking for a saw that approached the quality of a professional-level machine, since it became evident as I attempted to clean up after Hurricane Ike that my small gas and electric homeowner saws were not up to the task. I selected the DCS510-18 because it was avaiable through Prime, touted its low vibration and high power-to-weight ratio, and it was branded by Makita. I knew the quality of their products, but wasn't aware of Makita making non-electric power tools.

When it runs it is a good saw, but neither starts/started without a lot of frustration. I have acreage to maintain, and I need reliable tools. This doesn't fit the bill. I've had Stihls, Echos, and Husvarnas, and had good luck with them all. I'd recommend you look to one of those first for a new saw. I only went with this saw because of Makita's good reputation and the competitive pricing. I guess the value isn't there this time.

There are a couple of positive reviews of this saw that chalk the starting problems mentioned in this and other reviews up to operator error. I have two responses to that. (1) The instructions are simple enough that even I can follow them to the letter. And occasionally I do get the sputter on the second or third pull, and then the saw works as advertised.
