Service, spare parts and guarantee

Maintenance and repair

The maintenance and repair of modern engines as well as all safety devices require qualified technical training and a special work‑

shop equipped with special tools and testing devices.
Any work not described in this Manual may be performed only by a MAKITA service centre.
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. To find your local distributor, please visit www.makita‑outdoor.com
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, marked

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.
