Refuelling - Makita EA3502S Instruction Manual

Important note on bio-degradable chain oils
If you are not planning to use the saw again for an ex-
tended period of time, empty the oil tank and put in a
small amount of regular engine oil (SAE 30), and then
run the saw for a time. This is necessary to ß ush out all
remaining bio-degradable oil from the oil tank, oil-feed
system, chain and guide bar, as many such oils tend to
leave sticky residues over time, which can cause damage
to the oil pump or other parts.

The next time you use the saw, Þ ll the tank with BIOTOP
chain oil again. In case of damage caused by using waste
oil or unappropriate chain oil the product guarantee will be
null and void.
Your salesman will inform you about the use of chain oil.
NEVER USE WASTE OIL
Waste oil is very dangerous for the environment.
Waste oil contains high amounts of carcinogenic substances.
Residues in waste oil result in a high degree of wear and tear
at the oil pump and the sawing device.
In case of damage caused by using waste oil or unappropriate
chain oil the product guarantee will be null and void.
Your salesman will inform you about the use of chain oil.
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended
period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may result.
In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your
eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.
If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!

Refuelling

FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be switched off!
Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to prevent dirt from
getting into the fuel or oil tank.
Unscrew the tank cap (use the universal wrench if necessary,
see illustration) and Þ ll tank with fuel mixture or saw chain oil
up to the bottom edge of the Þ lling neck. Be careful not to spill
fuel or chain oil!
Screw on the tank cap by hand all the way.
fuel/oil mixture
Clean the tank cap and the area around the tank after
refuelling.
Lubricating the chain
During operation there must always be sufÞ cient chain oil in the
chain-oil tank to provide good chain lubrication. At medium oil
feed rate, the oil tank holds enough for one fuel tank's worth
of operation. During this procedure check whether there is
enough the chain oil in the tank and reÞ ll if necessary. Do this
only with the engine turned off! Screw on the tank cap by
hand all the way.
