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 DCS460, DCS500 and DCS5121 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.

MAKITA chain saws DCS460, DCS500 and DCS5121 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.

The following industrial property rights apply: WO 01/77572, DE 
10191359, DE 20219246, DE 20300769, US 2003/0152471, 
TO 2001 A 000338, TO 2004 A 000015, EP 1428637.

In order to ensure the proper functioning and performance 
of your new chain saw, and to safeguard your own per-
sonal safety, it is imperative that you read this instruction 
manual thoroughly before operation. Be especially careful 
to observe all safety precautions!

 

Failure to observe these 

precautions can lead to severe injury or death!

Packing

Your MAKITA chain saw comes delivered in a protective card-
board box to protect against shipping damage.

Cardboard is a basic raw material and is consequently reuseable 
or suitable for recycling (waste paper recycling).
