Repair attempts by third parties or unauthorized persons will
void all warranty claims.
Spare parts
Reliable long‑term operation, as well as the safety of your
chain saw, depend among other things on the quality of the
spare parts used. Use only original MAKITA parts.
Only original spare parts and accessories guarantee the
highest quality in material, dimensions, function and safety.
Original spare parts and accessories can be obtained from
your local dealer. He will also have the spare part lists to
determine the required spare part numbers, and will be
constantly informed about the latest improvements and spare
part innovations.
Please bear in mind that if parts other than original MAKITA
spare parts are used, this will automatically invalidate the
MAKITA product guarantee.
