Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA chain saw! We are

equipment.
The DCS340 are very handy and robust chain saws with a
new Design.
The automatic chain lubrication with variable-flow oil pump
and maintenance-free electronic ignition ensure trouble-free
operation, while the hand-saving anti-vibration system and
ergonomic grips and controls make work easier, safer, and
less tiring for the user.
The PS-340, chain saws are equipped with the latest safety
features and meet all international standards.
They include handguards on both grips, grip safety, chain catch,

actuated manually, and is also inertia-actuated automatically
in case of kickback.
In order to guarantee the optimal function and performance of
your power chain saw and to ensure your personal safety we
would request you to perform the following:
Read this instruction manual carefully before
