Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!
Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA chain saw! We are
con
Þ
dent that you will be satis
Þ
ed with this modern piece of
equipment. The DCS3500-DCS4301 are very handy and robust
chain saws with a new Design.
The automatic chain lubrication with variable-
ß
ow oil pump
and maintenance-free electronic ignition ensure trouble-free
operation, while the hand-saving anti-vibration system and
ergonomic grips and controls make work easier, safer, and
less tiring for the user. The Featherlight-Start system lets you
start the saw effortlessly with a spring-loaded starting assist.
For some countries the saw is also equipped with a catalytic
converter. This reduces the amount of pollutants in the exhaust,
and meets European Guideline 2002/88/EG.
MAKITA chain saws DCS3500-DCS4301 are equipped with the
latest safety features and meet all national and international
standards. These features include: hand guards on both handles,
grip throttle lever lock, chain catch, safety saw chain, and chain
brake. The chain brake can be actuated manually, and is also
inertia-actuated automatically in case of kickback.
