Saw chain oil (Fig. 38)

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).

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

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). (Fig. 39)

Important note on bio-degradable chain oils

If you are not planning to use the saw again for an

extended period of time, empty the oil tank and put in a

small amount of regular engine oil (SAE 30), and then

run the saw for a time. This is necessary to flush out all

remaining bio-degradable oil from the oil tank, oil-feed

system, chain and guide bar, as many such oils tend

to leave sticky residues over time, which can cause

damage to the oil pump or other parts.

The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with

BIOTOP chain oil again. In case of damage caused by

using waste oil or unappropriate chain oil the product

guarantee will be null and void.

Your salesman will inform you about the use of chain oil.

Never use waste oil (Fig. 40)

Waste oil is very dangerous for the environment.

Waste oil contains high amounts of carcinogenic

substances.

The residues in the waste oil result in a high degree of

wear and tear at the oil pump and the sawing device.

In the case of damage caused by using waste oil or

unappropriate saw chain oil the product guarantee will

be null and void.

Your salesman will inform you about the use of saw

chain oil.

Avoid skin and eye contacts (Fig. 41)

Mineral oil products as well as oil degrease the skin.

If your skin repeatedly comes in contact with these

substances for a longer period of time, it will desiccate.

Various skin deseases may result. In addition, allergic

reactions are known.

Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil gets into

your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water. If

your eyes are still irrritated, go to see a doctor.

Refilling the oil tank (Fig. 42)

Only if the motor is switched off and the power

supply plug is pulled out!

- Thoroughly clean the oil tank around the cap to

prevent dirt from entering the tank.

- Unscrew the tank cap (1) and fill in chain oil until it is

on a level with the bottom edge of the filler socket.

- Tightly screw on the tank cap.

- Thoroughly remove any oil that has overflown.

Important! (Fig. 43)

Before operating the saw for the first time, the oil feed

system must be completely filled, until the chain oil

lubricates the chain and guide bar.

This procedure can take up to two minutes.

- The oil level can be controlled in the sight glass (2).

In order to ensure sufficient lubrication of the saw chain

there must always be enough oil in the tank.

Lubricating the saw chain (Fig. 44)

Only if the motor is switched off and the power

supply plug is pulled out!

To guarantee a troublefree operation of the oil pump the

oil guide groove (3) as well as the oil inlet bore in the

guide bar (4) must be cleaned in regular intervals.

Note:

After the saw has been turned off it is normal for

residual chain oil to drip from the oil feed system,

the guide bar and the chain for a time. This does not

constitute a defect!

Place the saw on a suitable surface.

Plug in the saw (Fig. 45)

CAREFUL!

Before connecting the saw to a source of

electricity, always make sure to check that when

the ON/OFF switch (1) has been pressed in and

released, it automatically comes back out to the

“off” position. If it does not, do not under any

circumstances connect the saw to a power source

- do not plug it in. Take the saw to a MAKITA

service centre before doing any work with it.

Clip the extension cord and the saw’s power cord into

the cord grip (2).

Plug the saw plug (3) into the socket of the extension

cable (4).

Switching on the motor (Fig. 46)

- Plug in the saw (see above).

- 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 (5) and then the

power switch (1). Then release the locking button (5).

- 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 (1).

NOTE:

When the chain brake is actuated the power supply
