OPERATION

Lubrication

Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in 

operation. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil 

tank periodically.

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

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:

The first time user should, as a 

minimum practice, do cutting logs on a saw-horse 

or cradle.

CAUTION:

When sawing precut timber, use a 

safe support (saw horse or cradle). Do not steady 

the workpiece with your foot, and do not allow 

anyone else to hold or steady it.

CAUTION:

Secure round pieces against 

rotation.

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.

Bring the bottom edge of the chain saw body into 

contact with the branch to be cut before switching on. 

Otherwise it may cause the guide bar to wobble, result-

ing in injury to operator. Saw the wood to be cut by just 

moving it down by using the weight of the chain saw.

► 

Fig.22

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; then apply the 

spike bumper a little lower and finish the cut by raising 

the handle.

Bucking

1.

Rest the bottom edge of the chain saw body on 

the wood to be cut.

► 

Fig.24

2.

  With the saw chain running, saw into the wood 

while using the rear handle to raise the saw and the 

front one to guide it. Use the spike bumper as a pivot.

3.

Continue the cut by applying slight pressure to 

the front handle, easing the saw back slightly. Move 

the spike bumper further down the timber and raise the 

front handle again.

NOTICE:

When making several cuts, switch the 

chain saw off between cuts.

CAUTION:

If the upper edge of the bar is used 

for cutting, the chain saw may be deflected in 

your direction if the chain becomes trapped. For 

this reason, cut with the lower edge, so that the 

saw will be deflected away from your body.

► 

Fig.25

When you cut a wood under tension, cut the pressured 

side (A) first. Then make the final cut from the tensioned 

side (B). This prevents the bar from becoming trapped.

Limbing

CAUTION:

Limbing may only be performed by 

trained persons.

 A hazard is presented by the risk 

of kickback.

When limbing, support the chain saw on the trunk if 

possible. Do not cut with the tip of the bar, as this pres-

ents a risk of kickback. 

Pay particular attention to branches under tension. Do 

not cut unsupported branches from below. 

Do not stand on the felled trunk when limbing.

Burrowing and parallel-to-grain cuts

CAUTION:

Burrowing and parallel-to-grain 

cuts may only be carried out by persons with 

special training.

 The possibility of kickback presents 

a risk of injury.

Perform parallel-to-grain cuts at as shallow an angle as 

possible. Take an extra caution when carrying out the 

cut as the spike bumper cannot be used.

Felling

CAUTION:

Felling work may only be per-

formed by trained persons.

 The work is hazardous.
