Page 4: Safety Precautions Intended Use
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Intended use Power chain saws ‑ Protective gloves (6) made of thick leather are part of the prescribed equipment and must always be worn during op‑ This power chain saw may be used only for sawing wood out eration of the chain saw. -
Page 5: Fuels / Refuelling
Fuels / Refuelling ‑ Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw. ‑ Do not smoke or work near open fires (5). ‑ Let the engine cool down before refuelling. ‑ Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. -
Page 6: Kickback
Kickback ‑ When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may occur. ‑ Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard objects (10). ‑ This causes the saw to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control. - Page 7 ‑ Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries). ‑ When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar, the chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped.

Pull the chain (8) around the sprocket nose (10) of the guide bar in the direction of the arrow. Align hole on sprocket guard (4) with the pin (11). Turn the chain tensioner (3, see “Tightening the saw chain”) to bring the chain tensioner pin (12) into alignment with the hole in the guide bar. -
Page 18: Checking The Chain Tension
Tension the chain as already described. For all models Chain brake The EA3200S, EA3201S, EA3202S, EA3203S comes with an inertia chain brake as standard equipment. If kickback occurs due to contact of the guide‑bar tip with wood (see SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, page 6), the chain brake will stop the chain through inertia if the kickback is sufficiently strong. -

Page 20: Filling Fuel And Chain Oil
Important note on bio-degradable chain oils The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with BIOTOP If you are not planning to use the saw again for an extended period of time, empty the oil tank and put in a small amount of chain oil again. -
Page 21: Checking The Chain Lubrication
Checking the chain lubrication Never work with the chain saw without sufficient chain lubri ‑ ca tion. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide bar will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in the tank and the oil feed. Check the oil feed rate as described below: Start the chain saw (see “Starting the engine”). -
Page 22: Starting The Engine
Starting the engine Do not start the chain saw until after it is completely assembled and checked! Move at least 3 meters / 10 feet away from the place where the chain saw was fuelled. Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on the ground in such a way that the guide bar and chain are not near anything. -
Page 23: Checking The Chain Brake
Bring the engine back to idle and release the chain brake. Caution: If the chain does not stop immediately in this test, turn off the engine immediately. Do NOT use the chain saw in this condition! Contact a MAKITA autho- rized service center. -
Page 24: Adjusting The Carburetor
Important: If the saw chain still moves during idle even after you have adjusted the idle speed, do NOT use the saw. Take it to a MAKITA service center! Note: Carburetor adjustment aids in proper functioning, eco- nomical consumption, and safe operation. -
Page 25: Maintenance Sharpening The Saw Chain
MAINTENANCE Sharpening the saw chain CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain, always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off the spark plug (see “Replacing the spark plug”). Always wear protective gloves! The chain needs sharpening when: The sawdust produced when sawing damp wood looks like wood flour. - Page 26 Files and how to work with them Use a special saw chain round file for sharpening. Standard round files are unsuitable. See “Extract from the spare parts list”. Type 092: Saw chain round file, dia. 4.0 mm. Type 290: Saw chain round file, dia. 4.5 mm. The file should cut only when pushed forwards (arrow).
