To guarantee a troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil
guide groove (E/3) as well as the oil inlet bore in the guide bar
(E/4) must be cleaned in regular intervals.
Note:
After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual chain
oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and the chain
for a time. This does
not constitute a defect!
Place the saw on a suitable surface.

Checking the chain brake
Do not work with the chain saw without first checking the
chain brake!
- Start the motor as described (make sure you have a good
footing, and place the chain saw on the ground in such a way
that the guide bar is free of contact).
- Grasp the tubular handle firmly with one hand and hold the
grip with the other.
- Switch on the motor and press the hand guard (H/7) in the
direction of the arrow
with the back of your hand until the
chain brake engages. The chain should stop immediately.
- Switch the motor off
Immediately and release the chain
brake.
IMPORTANT: If the saw chain does not stop instantly
when you carry out this test, do not under any circum-
stances use the saw! Take the chain saw to a MAKITA
service center.

- Plug in the saw.
- When switching on the electric chain saw always hold
it with both hands.
- Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular
handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your
thumbs facing your fingers. The bar and chain must not be
in contact with any object.
- First depress the locking button (F/5) and then the power
switch (F/6). Then release the locking button (F/5).
- Attention: The chain starts running immediately. Keep
the power switch depressed as long as the motor is to run.
CAUTION:
Never lock the power switch in the ON position.
Switching off the motor:
- Release the power switch (F/6).
NOTE:
When the chain brake is actuated the power supply to the
motor will be cut off.
If the saw does not start when the ON/OFF switch (F/6) is
actuated, it will be necessary to release the chain brake.
- Pull the hand guard (G/7) firmly in the direction of the arrow
until you feel it catch.
IMPOTANT NOTE: Turning on machines causes transient
voltage dips. If the conditions of the power supply network are
unfavourable, there might be interference with other devices
on the same network. If the impedance of the network is lower
than 0,072 Ohms it can pressumed that no interference will
happen.
