Since putting the saw together I have some negative comments. Two different screws and no directions as to where to use them. The directions were slightly better than none, no where did it tell me what the black knob on top was for. Internet search siz it is to regulate lub oil flow. Filled it with oil and most leaked out somewhere. A real grip is that nowhere is there a customer service number I can call. Perhaps if I get on the internet there is one? It is a decent product I think but could be a great product if there were some decent instructions and someone to call if needed. Have only made one saw cut, worked fine.

This Saw is a pleasure to operate, quiet, easy to use, it is unbeatable. as near as I can tell it isn't any different then newer model 04Z, the 04Z has a 16 inch bar, you can get the 16" bar for the 03z if you want out of Makita parts, or I suspect from Oregon chainsaw parts. u can get a .50 pitch chain and bar if you want, I cant say its better then the .043 pitch, its your call. runs along time on 2 5amp batteries. it is just a great saw.

This is in my opinion one of the best small chainsaws on the market! No hassle and it is much faster and lighter than our gas powered chainsaw. And for a laugh the home Depot advertising for this model says easy to start! Haha..

Use to trim palm trees does excellent job like the battery power as use Makita tools and have batteries/chargers.

You will need a 5Ah Makitia battery to get about 10 minutes of active use from the saw. So if you plan on cutting down trees with a 2 foot diameter. Then you better get a gas model.
