Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product
We want you to be satisÞ ed with your MAKITA product.
You have decided to buy one of the most up-to-date chain
saws.
The MAKITA chain saw DCS9010 is a high-efÞ ciency, modern
chain saw for professional application, which can be used for
cutting strong wood. It is ideal for the use in forests and for
cutting long wood in sawmills.
Due to its high-power driving mechanism it is most useful for
cutting down strong trees. At the same time the chain saw is
of a slim, practical design which allows to carry out tension
releasing work without any difÞ culties.
The MAKITA DCS9010 is a high-efÞ ciency universal chain saw
for hard work in forests.
You have purchased a high-efÞ ciency device of a new generation,
which has the following outstanding characteristics:
- Excellent power to weight ratio, i. e. high engine power
combined with low weight.
- A high torque at a low rate of revolutions as a result of a
favorable stroke-bore ratio, a computer calculated cylinder
design and an asymmetric combustion chamber.
- Consequently you can use a very wide speed range in which
the engine has a high output. In addition, the chain saw has
a low fuel consumption and as a result only a low emission
of polluting substances.
- The intelligent, programme controlled ignition system
works maintenance-free and allows easy starting, smooth
idling and good running at all speeds.
- The modern light-weight driving mechanism guarantees
fast speeding up, as well as a low rate of vibrations which
is advantageous not only to the device but also to the ope-
rator.
- A particularly easy to service as well as operate, with ergo-
nomicall handle.
