Interesting - it is shown as "Stratified air scavenging system". I wonder if it is the reed valve system? I could not find an IPL.

I will have to do some digging but I think I have an ipl for it. If memory serves it is reed valved strato.... And even funkier than the 6100

In the text they mention a 2 reed system.

It is listed as a homeowner saw on the Makita tools USA site and it is the quick chain tensioner system.

Seems to be available here as EA3601F (Blue) and EA3601FR (Orange), but aside from the colour, hard to see that there's any difference between the two

Both rated as 'semi-pro'

The Dolmar 6100 also has a reed system. Here is a thread with quite good detail pictures. I assume the 352 will be similar.
