Thank
you for
purchasing a
MAKITA
product
We want you to be satisfied with your MAKITA product.
You
have decided to buy one of the most up-to-date chain saws.
The MAKITA chain saw DCS
9000
is a high-efficiency, modern
chain saw for professional application, which can be used for
cutting strong wood.
It
is ideal for the use in forests and for
cutting long wood in sawmills.
Due
to its high-power driving mechanism it is most useful for
cutting down strong trees. At the same time the chain saw is of
a slim, practical design which allows to carry out tension
releasing work without any difficulties.
The MAKITA DCS
9000
is a high-efficiency universal chain saw
for hard work in forests.
You have purchased a high-efficiency device of a new generation,
which has the following outstanding characteristics:
Excellent power
to
weight ratio,
i.
e. high engine power
combined with low weight.
A
high torque at a low rate
of
revolutions as a result of
a
favorable stroke-bore ratio, a computer calculated cylinder
design and an asymmetric combustion chamber.
Consequently you can use avery wide speed range in which
the engine has a high output. In addition, the chain saw has
a low fuel consumption and as a result only a low emission
of polluting substances.
The intelligent, programme controlled ignition system works
maintenance-free and allows easy starting, smooth idling
and good running at all speeds.
The modern light-weight driving mechanism guarantees fast
speeding up, as well as a low rate of vibrations which is
advantageous not only
to
the device but also
to
the operator.
A
particularly easy to service as well as operate, with
ergonomicall handle.
In
order
to
guarantee the optimal function and performance of
