To guarantee a troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil
guide groove (A/16) as well as the oil inlet bore in the guide bar
(A/17) must be cleaned in regular intervals.

- When switching on the electric chain saw always hold
it with both hands.
- Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular
handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your
thumbs facing your fingers. The bar and chain must not be
in contact with any object.
- First depress the locking button (B/18) and then the power
switch (B/19). Then release the locking button (B/18).
- Attention: The chain starts running immediately. Keep
the power switch depressed as long as the motor is to run.
CAUTION:
Never lock the power switch in the ON position.
Switching off the motor:
- Release the power switch (B/19).
CAUTION:
The saw chain will continue to run for a short time. Do not
deposite the chain saw before the chain is at a standstill.
Note on Model DES 380:
The DES 380 electric saw is equipped with overload protec-
tion. In the event that the electric motor should overheat, the
thermal circuit breaker (B/20) will automatically pop out, inter-
rupting the flow of current.
After allowing the motor to cool down for about 30 seconds,
push the thermal circuit breaker back in to restore operation
of the saw. Always allow the unit to cool down for 30
seconds!
IMPOTANT NOTE: Turning on machines causes transient
voltage dips. If the conditions of the power supply network are
unfavourable, there might be interference with other devices
on the same network. If the impedance of the network is lower
than 0,093 Ohms it can pressumed that no interference will
happen.

Checking the chain brake
C
Do not work with the chain saw without first checking the
chain brake!
- Start the motor as described (make sure you have a good
footing, and place the chain saw on the ground in such a
way that the guide bar is free of contact).
- Grasp the tubular handle
firmly with one hand and hold the
grip with the other.
- Switch on the motor and press the hand guard (C/1) in the
direction of the arrow
with the back of your hand until the
chain brake engages. The chain should stop immediately.
- Switch the motor off
Immediately and release the chain
brake.
IMPORTANT: If the chain does not stop immediately when
you test the chain brake, do NOT use the chain saw. Take
the chain saw to a MAKITA service center.

Checking the chain lubrication
Never saw when a sufficient chain lubrication is not guaranteed.
Otherwise the life of the sawing device will be reduced. Before
starting work check the oil level in the tank and the oil feeding.
Check the fed oil quantity by following the instructions below:
- Start the electric chain saw.
- Hold the running chain saw approx. 15 cm above a trunk or
the ground (use an appropriate surface).
If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oiltrace
because oil will be centrifuged from the chain saw.
Pay attention to the direction the wind is blowing and avoid
unnecessary exposure to the oil spray!
