OPERATION
Lubrication
CAUTION:
Do not operate the tool when the
tank is empty. Replenish the oil in due time before
the tank is empty.
CAUTION:
Prevent the oil from coming into
contact with the skin and eyes. Contact with the
eyes causes irritation. In the event of eye contact,
ush the a ected eye immediately with clear
water, then consult a doctor at once.
CAUTION:
Never use waste oil. Waste oil contains
carcinogenic substances. The contaminants in waste
oil cause accelerated wear of the oil pump, the bar and
the chain. Waste oil is harmful to the environment.
NOTICE:
When the tool is used for the first time,
it may take up to two minutes for the saw chain oil
to begin its lubricating e ect upon the saw mech-
anism. 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 completely emp-
tied, 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 tools 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.
