Engaging the chain brake (braking)
If the kickback is strong enough the sudden acceleration of
the guide bar combined with the inertia of the hand guard
(B/2) will automatically actuate the chain brake.
To engage the chain brake manually, simply push the hand
guard (B/2) forward (towards the tip of the saw) with your left
hand (arrow 1).
Releasing the chain brake
Pull the hand guard (B/2) towards you (arrow 2) until you feel
it catch. The brake is now released.
Note on model DES 380
When the chain brake is actuated, the current supply to the
motor will also be cut off!

The DES 300, DES 350, DES 400 and DES 380 comes with an
inertia chain brake as standard equipment. If kickback occurs
due to contact of the guide-bar tip with wood (see SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS, page 7), the chain brake will stop the chain
through inertia if the kickback is sufficiently strong.
The chain will stop within a fraction of a second.
Saw chain oil
Maintenance
D
C
The chain brake is a very important safety device and like any
other part subject to wear and tear. Have the maintenance
works regularly carried out by a MAKITA service centre for your
own safety.
Before starting work carry out a functional check. Regularly
clean the brake band (arrow) and the hand guard (B/2) in order
to guarantee perfect operation.
Use a special oil with adhesive addition for lubricating the saw
chain and bar. The adhesive addition prevents that the oil is
centrifuged too fast from the sawing device.
Do not use mineral oils. In order to protect the invironment the
use of biologically decomposeable oil is prescribed.
The saw chain oil sold by MAKITA, called BIOTOP, is made of
special vegetable oils and is biologically decomposeable to
100%. BIOTOP has been granted the "blue angel" for being
particularly favourable to the environment (RAL UZ 48).
Biologically decomposeable oil is stable only for a limited period
of time. It should be consumed within 2 years from the date of
manufacture (printed on the container).
BIOTOP oil is available in the following packing sizes to suit your
individual requirements:
1 liter order number 980 008 610
5 liters order number 980 008 611
20 liters order number 980 008 613
