Instructions For Periodic Maintenance; Service, Spare Parts And Guarantee - Makita DCS 341 Owner's And Safety Manual

Instructions for daily and periodic maintenance
To ensure a long servicelife and to prevent any damage the maintenance work described in the following must be performed
regularly. The product guarantee will be automatically invalidated if this maintenance is not carried out regularly and according to
the instructions.
Perform the following servicing work daily after use. Make a habit of it, it does not require much time and your saw will always function
properly.
Possibly hidden faults can be detected in this manner before causing expensive and annoying interruptions of your work. In case
you should detect a fault in the safety equipment when performing daily servicing, the saw must not be used before elimination of
the fault. The user of the chain saw must not perform maintenance work which is not described in the instruction manual. All such
work must be carried out by a MAKITA service center.
