ENGLISH (Original instructions)
Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!
Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA chain saw! We
are confident that you will be satisfied with this modern
piece of equipment.
The DCS230T/DCS231T/DCS232T (Tophandle) is a very
light and handy chain saw with the handle on the top. This
model was developed especially for tree surgery and
care.
Only persons who have completed training in working
from elevated platforms (cherry pickers, lifts), from
platforms mounted on ladders or who are proficient in
climbing with ropes are permitted to operate this chain
saw.
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 safety features of the DCS230T/DCS231T/DCS232T
are state of the art and meet all German and international
safety standards.
They include handguards on both grips, grip safety, chain
catch, safety saw chain, and chain brake. The chain brake
can be actuated manually, and is also inertia-actuated
automatically in case of kickback.
In order to ensure the proper
functioning and performance of your
new chain saw, and to safeguard your
own personal safety, it is imperative
that you read this instruction manual
thoroughly before operation. Be
especially careful to observe all safety
precautions!
Failure to observe these precautions
can lead to severe injury or death!
