OPERATION

Lubrication

Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in 

operation. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil 

tank periodically through the oil inspection window.

To refill the tank, lay the chain saw on its side, then 

push the oil tank cap, and then remove the oil tank 

cap. The proper amount of oil is 200 ml. After refilling 

the tank, make sure that the oil tank cap is tightened 

securely.

After refilling, hold the chain saw away from the 

tree. Start it and wait until lubrication on saw chain is 

adequate.

NOTICE:

When filling the chain oil for the first 

time, or refilling the tank after it has been com

-

pletely emptied, add oil up to the bottom edge of 

the filler neck. The oil delivery may otherwise be 

impaired.

NOTICE:

Use the saw chain oil exclusively for 

Makita chain saws or equivalent oil available in 

the market.

NOTICE:

Never use oil including dust and parti-

cles or volatile oil.

NOTICE:

When pruning trees, use botanical oil. 

Mineral oil may harm trees.

NOTICE:

Before the cutting operation, make sure 

that the provided oil tank cap is screwed in place.

WORKING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

CAUTION:

Keep all parts of the body away 

from the saw chain when the motor is operating.

CAUTION:

Hold the chain saw firmly with 

both hands when the motor is running.

CAUTION:

Do not overreach. Keep proper 

footing and balance at all times.

NOTICE:

Never toss or drop the tool.

NOTICE:

Do not cover the vents of the tool.

Pruning trees

Bring the chain saw body into contact with the branch to 

be cut before switching on. Otherwise it may cause the 

guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator. Saw 

the wood to be cut by just moving it down by using the 

weight of the chain saw.

► 

Fig.20

If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single 

stroke: 

Apply light pressure to the handle and continue sawing 

and draw the chain saw back a little.

► 

Fig.21

When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow 

undercut and then make the finish cut from the top.

► 

Fig.22

If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the 

branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut. 

If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a 

shallow undercut, the branch may splinter.

Carrying tool

Before carrying the tool, always apply the chain brake 

and remove the battery cartridges from the tool. Then 

attach the guide bar cover. Also cover the battery car-

tridge with the battery cover.
