Arm cord hook (Accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Do not attach the holder of arm cord hook to other
than the extension cord. Failure to do so may
cause an accident or personal injury.
Using the arm cord hook helps to minimize a risk of
cutting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by
the loose extension cord.

Attach firmly the arm cord hook band placing around your
arm and pass the extension cord through the holder. The
length of the arm cord hook band is adjustable.
NOTE:
•
Do not pass the extension cord through the band.
•
Do not force the opening of the holder. Failure to
do so may cause deflection and damage to it.
OPERATION
Lubrication
Fig.17
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation.
Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil tank through
the oil inspection window.
To refill the tank, remove the cap from the oil tank
opening. The oil tank capacity is 85 ml.
After refilling the tank, always screw the provided oil tank
cap on the chain saw.
CAUTION:
•
When filling the chain saw with chain oil for the first
time, or refilling the tank after it has been completely
emptied, add oil up to the bottom edge of the filler
neck. The oil delivery may otherwise be impaired.
•
As a saw chain oil, use oil exclusively for Makita
chain saws or oil available in market.
•
Never use oil including dust and particles or
volatile oil.
•
When pruning trees, use botanical oil. Mineral oil
may harm trees.
•
Never force the chain saw when pruning trees.
•
Before cutting out, make sure that the provided oil
tank cap is screwed in place.
Fig.18
Hold the chain saw away from the tree. Start it and wait
until lubrication on saw chain is adequate.
Bring the lower guide into contact with the branch to be
cut before switching on. Cutting without bringing the
lower guide into contact with the branch may cause the
guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator.
Saw the wood to be cut by just moving it down.
WORKING WITH THE CHAIN SAW
The first time user should, as a minimum practice, do
cutting logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
Pruning trees
Fig.19
CAUTION:
•
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the motor is operating.
•
Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when
the motor is running.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
Bring the lower guide into contact with the branch to be
cut before switching on. Cutting without bringing the
lower guide into contact with the branch may cause the
guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator.
Fig.20
When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow
undercut and then make the finish cut from the top.
Fig.21
If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the
branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut.
If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a
shallow undercut, the branch may splinter.
Fig.22
If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single
stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue sawing
and draw the chain saw back a little; then apply the spike a
little lower and finish the cut by raising the handle.
Bucking
Fig.23
For bucking cuts, rest the serrated rail shown in the
figure on the wood to be cut.
With the saw chain running, saw into the wood, using the
top handle to raise the saw and the front one to guide it.
Use the serrated rail as a pivot.
