NOTICE:
When the chain saw is used for the first
time, it may take up to two minutes for the saw
chain oil to begin its lubricating effect upon the
saw mechanism. Run the saw without load until
it does so.
NOTICE:
When filling the chain oil for the first
time, or refilling the tank after it has been com-
pletely emptied, add oil up to the bottom edge of
the filler neck. The oil delivery may otherwise be
impaired.
NOTICE:
Use the saw chain oil exclusively for
Makita chain saws or equivalent oil available in
the market.
NOTICE:
Never use oil including dust and parti-
cles or volatile oil.
NOTICE:
When pruning trees, use botanical oil.
Mineral oil may harm trees.
NOTICE:
Before the cutting operation, make sure
that the provided oil tank cap is screwed in place.
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil
tank periodically through the oil inspection window.

To fill the oil, perform the following steps:
1.
Clean the area around the oil tank cap thoroughly
to prevent any dirt from entering the oil tank.
2.
Lay the chain saw on its side.
3.
Push the button on the oil tank cap so that the
button on the other side stands up, and then remove the
oil tank cap by turning it.

4.
Fill the oil tank with the oil. The proper amount of
oil is 200 ml.
5.
Screw the oil tank cap firmly back in place.
6.
Wipe away any spilt chain oil carefully.
NOTE: If it is difficult to remove the oil tank cap, insert
the tip of the box wrench into the slot of the oil tank
cap, and then remove the oil tank cap by turning it
counterclockwise.

After refilling, hold the chain saw away from the
tree. Start it and wait until lubrication on saw chain is
adequate.

Working with the chain saw
CAUTION:
The first time user should, as a mini-
mum practice, do cutting logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
CAUTION:
When sawing precut timber, use a
safe support (saw horse or cradle). Do not steady
the workpiece with your foot, and do not allow
anyone else to hold or steady it.
CAUTION:
Secure round pieces against rotation.
CAUTION:
Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the motor is operating.
CAUTION:
Hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands when the motor is running.
CAUTION:
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
CAUTION:
When you use the upper side of the
guide bar for cutting, be careful since the chain saw may
be pushed in your direction if the saw chain is trapped.
NOTICE:
Never toss or drop the tool.
NOTICE:
Do not cover the vents of the tool.
NOTICE:
When making several cuts, switch the
chain saw off between cuts.
Bring the bottom edge of the chain saw body into contact with the
branch to be cut before switching on. Otherwise it may cause the
guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator. Saw the wood to
be cut by just moving it down by using the weight of the chain saw.
► Fig.26
If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue sawing and
draw the chain saw back a little; then apply the spike bumper
a little lower and finish the cut by raising the handle.

Felling a tree
CAUTION:
Felling work may only be per-
formed by trained persons. The work is hazardous.
When cross-cutting/bucking and felling operations are
being performed by two or more persons at the same
time, the felling operations should be separated from
the cross-cutting/bucking operation by a distance of
at least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees
should not be felled in a manner that would endanger
any person, strike any utility line or cause any property
damage. If the tree does make contact with any utility
line, the company should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the
terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary
before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and
diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall as illustrated.
► Fig.28: 1. Felling direction 2. Danger zone
3. Escape route
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the
tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direc-
tion to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.
