Maintenance and repair
The maintenance and repair of modern engines as well as all safety devices require qualified technical training and a special
workshop equipped with special tools and testing devices.
We therefore recommend that you consult a MAKITA service centre for all work not described in this instruction manual.
The MAKITA service centres have all the necessary equipment and skilled and experienced personnel, who can work out cost-
effective solutions and advise you in all matters.
Please contact your nearest service centre (list enclosed).
Instructions for daily and periodic maintenance
To ensure long life, prevent damage and ensure the full functioning of the safety features the following maintenance must be
performed regularly. Guarantee claims can be recognized only if this work is performed regularly and properly. Failure to perform
the prescribed maintenance work can lead to accidents!
Perform the following servicing work daily after use. Make a habit of it, it does not require much time and your saw will always function
properly.
Possibly hidden faults can be detected in this manner before causing expensive and annoying interruptions of your work. In case
you should detect a fault in the safety equipment when performing daily servicing, the saw must not be used before elimination of
the fault.
The user of the chain saw must not perform maintenance work which is not described in the instruction manual. All such work must
be carried out by a MAKITA service center.
