Before cutting down a tree ensure that

a

   only those people are within the working area which 

are actually involved in cutting down the tree.

b

   every worker involved can withdraw without stumbling 

(the people should withdraw backwards in a diagonal 
line, i. e. at a degree of 

5

ƒ

. 

c

   the bottom part of the trunk is free from foreign 

objects, underbrush and branches. Make sure to have 
a safe footing (risk of stumbling

.

d

   the next working place is at least 

 1/

 tree lengths 

away 

(Fig. 18)

. Before cutting down the tree check the 

direction of fall and make sure that there are neither 
people nor objects within a distance of 2 1/2 tree 
lengths.

 cutting down area

- 

Judging the tree:

'

irection of hanging - loose or dry branches - height of the 

tree - natural overhang - is the tree rotten? 

-  Take into account the direction and speed of the wind. If 

strong gusts are occurring, do not do any felling.

- 

Cutting the roots:

Start with the strongest root. First do the vertical and then 
the horizontal cut.

- 

Notching the trunk

 (

Fig. 19

, A

: 

The notch determines the direction of fall and guides the 
tree. The trunk is notched perpendicular to the direction of 
fall and penetrates 1/3 -1/5 of the trunk diameter. Perform 
the cut near the ground. 

-  When correcting the cut, always do so over the whole 

width of the notch. 

- 

Cut down

 the tree (

Fig. 20

, B

 above the bottom edge 

of the notch (

'

. The cut must be exactly horizontal. The 

distance between both cuts must be approx. 1/10 of the 
trunk diameter. 

- The 

material between both cuts

 (C

 serves as a hinge. 

Never cut it through, otherwise the tree will fall without any 
control. Insert felling wedges in time.

-  Secure the cut only with wedges made of plastic or 

aluminium. 

'

o not use iron wedges. If the saw hits an iron 

wedge the chain can be seriously damaged or torn.

-  When cutting down a tree always stay sidewards of the 

falling tree.

-  When withdrawing after having performed the cut, be alert 

for falling branches.

-  When working on sloping ground the user of the chain 

saw must stay above or sidewards of the trunk to be cut 
or the tree already cut down. 

-  Be alert for trunks which may roll towards you.

3-8. Transport and storage

- 

When changing your location during work switch off 
the chain saw and actuate the chain brake in order to 
prevent an inadvertent start of the chain.

- 

Never carry or transport the chain saw with the chain  
running.

- 

When the saw is hot, do not cover it (with a tarp, 
blanket, newspaper or the like).

Let the saw cool down before putting it in a storage 
case or vehicle. Saws with catalytic converter take 
longer to cool down!

-  When transporting the chain saw over long distances the 

chain protection cover (delivered with the chain saw

 must 

be applied. 

-  Carry the chain saw with the tubular handle. The guide 

bar points backwards 

(Fig. 21)

. Avoid coming in contact 

with the muf

À

er (danger of burns

.

-  Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during car trans-

portation to avoid fuel or chain oil leakage.

-  Store the chain saw safely in a dry place. It must not be 

stored outdoors. Keep the chain saw away from children. 
The chain protection cover should always be put on.

-  Before storing the chain saw over a long period of time 

or shipping it the fuel and oil tanks must be completely 
emptied.

3-9. Maintenance

- 

Before performing maintenance work switch off the 
chain saw

(Fig. 22)

and pull out the plug cap.

-  Before starting work always check the operating safety 

of the chain saw, in particular the function of the chain 
brake. Make sure that the chain is always sharpened and 
tightened correctly 

(Fig. 23)

.

-  Operate the chain saw only at a low noise and emission 

level. For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly.

-  Regularly clean the chain saw.
-  Regularly check the tank cap for tightness.
 

Observe the accident prevention instructions issued 
by trade associations and insurance companies. Do 
not perform any modi

¿

cations on the chain saw. You 

will put your safety at risk.

Perform only the maintenance and repair works described 
in the instruction manual. All other work must be carried 
out by MAKITA Service.

R

IC

Use only original MAKITA spare parts and accessories.

Using spare parts other than original MAKITA parts or 
accessories and guide bar/chain combinations or lengths 
which are not approved bring a high risk of accidents. 
We cannot accept any responsibility for accidents 
and damage resulting from using sawing devices or 
accessories which have not been approved.

3-10. First aid 

For the event of a possible accident, please make sure 
that a 

¿

rst aid kit is always immediately available close by. 

Immediately replace any items used from the 

¿

rst aid box.

When calling for help, give the following information:

- Place of the accident 

   - What happened
 

- Number of injured people

- Kind of injuries

 - 

Your

excessive vibration may experience injury to blood vessels or 
the nervous system.
