Saw chain oil
A
Use a special oil with adhesive addition for lubricating the saw
chain and bar. The adhesive addition prevents that the oil is
centrifuged too fast from the sawing device.
Do not use mineral oils. In order to protect the invironment the
use of biologically decomposeable oil is prescribed.
The saw chain oil sold by MAKITA, called BIOTOP, is made of
special vegetable oils and is biologically decomposeable to
100%. BIOTOP has been granted the "blue angel" for being
particularly favourable to the environment (RAL UZ 48).
Biologically decomposeable oil is stable only for a limited period
of time. It should be consumed within 2 years from the date of
manufacture (printed on the container).
BIOTOP oil is available in the following packing sizes to suit your
individual requirements:
1 liter order number 980 008 610
5 liters order number 980 008 611

Never use waste oil
Waste oil is very dangerous for the environment.
Waste oil contains high amounts of carcinogenic substances.
The residues in the waste oil result in a high degree of wear and
tear at the oil pump and the sawing device.
In the case of damage caused by using waste oil or unappropriate
saw chain oil the product guarantee will be null and void.
Your salesman will inform you about the use of saw chain oil.
Avoid skin and eye contacts
Mineral oil products as well as oil degrease the skin. If your skin
repeatedly comes in contact with these substances for a longer
period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may
result. In addition, allergic reactions are known.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil gets into your eyes,
immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still
irrritated, go to see a doctor.

Lubricating the saw chain
In order to ensure sufficient lubrication of the saw chain there
must always be enough oil in the tank. Its contents (120 ml) is
sufficient for approx. 1/2 hour at continuous operation.
Important note on bio-degradable chain oils:
If you are not planning to use the saw again for an extended
period of time (longer than the expiration date of the chain oil),
empty the oil tank and put in a small amount of regular engine
oil (SAE 30),and then run the saw for a time. This is necessary
to flush out all remaining bio-degradable oil from the oil tank,
oil-feed system, chain and guide bar, as many such oils tend
to leave sticky residues over time, which can cause damage to
the oil pump or other parts.
The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with BIOTOP chain
oil again.
The next time you use the saw refill the tank with new BIOTOP
chain oil.
- The oil level can be controlled in the sight glass (D/2).
Only if the motor is switched off and the power supply plug
is pulled out
- Thoroughly clean the oil tank around the cap to prevent dirt
from entering the tank.
- Unscrew the tank cap (C/1) and fill in chain oil until it is on a
level with the bottom edge of the filler socket.
- Tightly screw on the tank cap.
- Thoroughly remove any oil that has overflown.
Important!
Before operating the saw for the first time, the oil feed system
must be completely filled, until the chain oil lubricates the chain
and guide bar.
This procedure can take up to two minutes.
