Maintenance and repair
The maintenance and repair work of modern electric motors as well as all safety related assemblies require qualified technical training
and the availability of a special workshop equipped with special tools and testing devices.
We therefore recommend you to consult a MAKITA service centre for the performance of all work not described in this instruction
manual.
The MAKITA service centres are provided with all the necessary equipment and skilled and experienced personnel to work out correct
customer solutions and to advise you in all matters accordingly.
Please contact your nearest service centre (list enclosed).
Spare parts
A reliable and continuous operation as well as the safety of your chain saw is also subject to the quality of the spare parts used. Use
original MAKITA spare parts only, marked:
Only original spare parts and accessories guarantee the highest quality in material, dimensions, functioning and safety.
Original spare parts and accessories can be obtained from your local dealer. He will also have the relative spare part lists to determine
the required spare part numbers, and will be constantly informed about the latest improvements and also about spare part
innovations.
Please, take in mind that in the case that foreign spare parts are used instead of the original MAKITA spare parts this will automatically
invalidate the MAKITA product guarantee.
