Makita seems to have the user's frustration level pretty low on their list. I have the double battery rear handle chainsaw of theirs and the time out is just a few seconds. This means I find behaving differently just to keep the operator present lever down. Not too hard to adapt to so long as I am not using gloves. I have to think most folks will just put some tape around the handle to keep it in, I may once wearing gloves becomes the norm. My theory is they do this because the chain adjuster is weak and the best way to use it is to grasp the bar held up and shake while turning the adjuster. I have a 5 3/8 small battery circular saw and the safety feature had me de activating it in about half an hour because a blister was just about to happen.It's a nice little saw.....
The second problem is the standby time of the power switch. ....... This means I have to use the power button more frequent than I want.
This is not only annoying, I think it's a slap in the face for every professional user.
