Transport and storage
-
When changing your location during work switch off
the chain saw and actuate the chain brake in order to
prevent an inadvertent start of the chain.
-
Never carry or transport the chain saw with the chain
running.
-
When the saw is hot, do not cover it (with a tarp,
blanket, newspaper or the like).
Let the saw cool down before putting it in a storage
case or vehicle. Saws with catalytic converter take
longer to cool down!
-
When transporting the chain saw over long distances the
chain protection cover (delivered with the chain saw) must
be applied.
-
Carry the chain saw with the tubular handle. The guide bar
points backwards (20). Avoid coming in contact with the
muffler (danger of burns).
-
Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during car trans-
portation to avoid fuel or chain oil leakage.
-
Store the chain saw safely in a dry place. It must not be
stored outdoors. Keep the chain saw away from children.
The chain protection cover should always be put on.
-
Before storing the chain saw over a long period of time
or shipping it the fuel and oil tanks must be completely
emptied.
Maintenance
-
Before performing maintenance work switch off the
chain saw (21) and pull out the plug cap.
-
Before starting work always check the operating safety of
the chain saw, in particular the function of the chain brake.
Make sure that the chain is always sharpened and tightened
correctly (22).
-
Operate the chain saw only at a low noise and emission
level. For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly.
-
Regularly clean the chain saw.
-
Regularly check the tank cap for tightness.
Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by
trade associations and insurance companies. Do not
perform any modifications on the chain saw. You will
put your safety at risk.
Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in
the instruction manual. All other work must be carried out by
MAKITA Service.
Use only original MAKITA spare parts and accessories.
Using spare parts other than original MAKITA parts or
accesories and guide bar/chain combinations or lengths
which are not approved bring a high risk of accidents. We
cannot accept any responsibility for accidents and damage
resulting from using sawing devices or accesories which
have not been approved.
