Additional safety precautions
The following additional safety precautions must be ob-
served by all users of chain saws:
- A chain saw is intended for two-handed use. Do not
operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to
the operator, helpers, bystanders may result from one-
handed operation.
- When a chain saw is being used, a re extinguisher
should be available.
- Follow the instructions in your operator’s manual for
starting the chain saw and control the chain saw with a
rm grip on both handles when it is in operation. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
- Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more cautious before
rest periods and towards the end of your shift.
- Personal protective clothing required by your safety
organizations, government regulations, or your employer
should be used. At all times when using a chain saw,
snug-tting clothing, protective eyewear, safety footwear,
and hand, leg, head and hearing protection should be
worn.
Note: Personal protective clothing should meet the
requirements of applicable CSA and BNQ Standards.
- Use caution when handling fuel. Before fuelling, ser-
vicing, or transporting your chain saw, switch off the
engine. To help prevent re, restart your chain saw at
least 3 m (10 ft) from the fuelling area.
- Keep other persons or animals a safe distance away
from a running chain saw or the area where a tree is
being felled.
- Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
only when standing on a xed, secure, and level surface,
and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
- Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain
when the engine is running.
- Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
- Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the engine
stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and
the mufer away from your body.
- When transporting, storing or not in use, always use the
appropriate guide bar cover. It must t and fully cover
the guide bar on the chain saw.
- Never operate a chain saw that is damaged or impro-
perly adjusted or that is not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the power control system trigger is released. Never
adjust the guide bar or saw chain when the engine is
operating.
- Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.
- Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
Safety precautions for chain saw operators
While operating the chain saw please observe the follo-
wing rules:
a) Contact of the guide bar nose with any object
should be avoided.
b) Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move
suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING!
Read and follow all safety precautions in the operator’s
manual. Failure to follow instructions could result in
serious injury. It is recommended to lend the chain
saw only to people who are experienced in working
with chain saws. Always hand over the Operator’s
and Safety Manual.
WARNING!
This chain saw is capable of severe kickback that
could result in serious injury to the operator. Do not
operate this chain saw unless you have extraordinary
cutting needs and experience in and special training
for dealing with kickback.
Chain saws with signicantly reduced kickback po-
tential are available.
Kickback safety precautions
WARNING!
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some
cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back toward the opera-
tor. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw, which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chainsaw user, you
should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
a) With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
b) Keep a good rm grip on the saw with both
hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the
left hand on the front handle, when the engine is
running. Use a rm grip with thumbs and ngers
encircling the chain saw handles. A rm grip will
help reduce kickback and maintain control of the
saw. Don‘t let go.
c) Make sure that the area in which you are cutting
is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose
of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any
other obstruction that could be hit while you are
operating the saw.
d) Cut at high engine speeds.
e) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
f) Follow the manufacturers sharpening and main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain.
g) Only use replacement bars and chains specied
by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

- When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood bers is released.
- When felling, keep at least two tree lengths away from
other persons or animals.
- Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Operate the
chain saw in well-ventilated areas only.
- Allow your chain saw to cool before refuelling, and do
not smoke.
- Do not attempt a pruning or limbing operation in a
standing tree unless specically trained to do so.
- All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the
operator’s manuals maintenance instructions, should be
performed by competent chain saw service personnel.
(For example, if improper tools are used to remove the
ywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the ywheel
in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the
ywheel could occur and subsequently could cause the
ywheel to burst.)
- This gas-powered saw is classied by CSA as a Class
1A saw. It is a professional chain saw, intended for use
by trained workers, where the operator is expected to
use the chain saw for extended periods of time on a
daily basis.
- Hold the chain saw by the insulated gripping surface
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
electrical wiring.

General Safety Precautions
The use of any chain saw may be hazardous. At full throttle
chain speed can reach 45 mph (20 m/s). It is important
that you read; fully understand and observe the following
safety precautions and warnings. Read the Operator’s
manual and the safety instructions periodically.
WARNING!
Reactive forces, including kickback, can be da n gerous.
Careless or improper use of any chain saw may cause
serious or fatal injury.
Have your MAKITA dealer show you how to operate
your chain saw. Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
1
WARNING!
Prolonged use of chain saws exposing the operator
to vibrations may produce Whitenger disease (Ray-
naud’s phenomenon). This phenomenon reduces
the hand’s ability to feel and regulate temperature,
produces numbness and burning sensations and
may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue
necrosis.
All MAKITA saws are therefore provided with an an-
tivibration system which is essential for those using
chain saws on a regular or sustained basis. Antivi-
bration systems do not guarantee that you will not
sustain Whitenger disesase, however, they reduce
this danger considerably. Nevertheless, continual and
regular users should observe their hands and ngers
and in case of any abnormal symptoms, seek medical
advice immediately.

Parts of the chain saw: illustrations and description of
parts see page 19.
WARNING!
Never modify a chain saw in any way. Only attachments
supplied by MAKITA or expressly approved by MAKITA
for use with the specic saw are authorized.
WARNING!
Bow guide bars substantially increase the potential for
kickback and severe or fatal injury due to the greater
kickback zone of the bow design. Bow guide bars are
not recommended for use on MAKITA chain saws
nor are they approved by the ANSI B175.1-2012
chain saw safety standard.
The use of the saw
Transporting the chain saw
WARNING!
Always stop the engine before putting a chain saw
down or carrying it. Carrying a chain saw with the
engine running is extremely dangerous. Accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the chain to
rotate.
Avoid touching the hot mufer.
By hand: When carrying your saw by hand, the
engine must be stopped and the saw must be in the
proper position.
The chain protection cover should be over the chain
and the guide bar must point backwards. When
carrying your saw the bar should be behind you (g.
4).
By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, keep
chain and bar covered with the chain guard. Properly
secure your saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage
and damage to the saw. Make sure the saw in not
exposed to heat or sparks.
4
Proper clothing
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-tting, but allow com-
plete freedom of movement. Avoid loose-tting jackets,
scarfs, neckties, jewelry, ared or cuffed pants, or anything
that could become entangled with the saw or brush. Wear
overalls or jeans with a reinforced cutting resistant insert
(g. 3).
Protect your hands with gloves when handling saw and
saw chain. Heavy-duty, nonslip gloves improve your grip
and protect your hands.
Wear protective helmet,
eye and ear protection!
Good footing is most important in chain saw work.
Wear sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety
boots are recommended.
Proper eye protection is a must. Non-fogging, vented
goggles and a face screen is recommended. Their
use reduces the risk of eye and facial injury.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to protect your
head. Chain saw noise may damage your hearing.
Always wear noise protection equipment (ear plugs
or ear muffs) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have their hearing
checked regularly.
Sawing dry wood can create dust. Use a suitable dust
mask.
8
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your saw and
check for leakage.
Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during opera-
tion. If fuel or oil leakage is found, do not start or run the
engine until leak is xed and spilled fuel has been wiped
away. Clothing with fuel on it has to be changed imme-
diately (this is a danger to your life!).
Avoid skin contact with fuel. Never loosen or remove the
cap of the fuel tank while the engine is running.
Starting
Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous because
you may lose control of the saw (g. 6).
WARNING!
Gasoline is an extremely ammable fuel. Use extre-
me caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do
not smoke or bring any sparks or ame near the fuel
(g. 5).
Fueling instructions
Fuel your chain saw in well ventilated areas or out-
doors. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Select bare ground for fueling and move the
chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot before
starting the engine (g. 5a).
6
Place the chain saw on rm ground or other solid surface
in an open area. Maintain a good balance and secure
footing. Place your right foot through the rear handle
opening and rmly grasp the front handle with your left
hand (g. 6a).
Be absolutely sure that guide bar and chain are clear of
you or all other obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts in semi-throttle
position, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch
to engage the sprocket and turn the chain which may
cause a kickback.
Never attempt to start the saw when the guide bar is in
a cut or kerf.
When you pull the starter grip, don’t wrap the starter rope
around your hands. Do not allow the grip to snap back,
but guide the starter rope slowly back to permit the rope
to rewind properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in injury to hand
or ngers and may damage the starter mechanism.

Chain saw operating instructions
For assembly follow the procedure in the appropriate section
"Mounting Guide Bar and Chain" of this manual. MAKITA
chain, guide bar and sprocket must match each other (see
the appropriate section in this manual).
WARNING!
Proper tension of the chain is extremely important. In
order to avoid false setting the tensioning procedure
must be followed as described in this manual. Always
make sure the hexagonal nut(s) for the sprocket
guard is (are) tightened securely after tensioning the
chain.
Check chain tension once more after having tightened
the nuts and thereafter at regular intervals (always be-
fore starting to work). If the chain becomes loose while
cutting, shut off the engine and then tighten. Never try
to tighten the chain while the engine is running!
Fueling
Your MAKITA saw uses on oil-gasoline mixture for fuel
(see chapter "Fuel" of this manual).
9
Important adjustments
WARNING!
At correct idle speed, chain should not turn. For di-rec-
tions to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate section
of this operator’s manual.
Do not use a saw with incorrect idle speed adjust-
ment. Adjust the idle speed yourself according to
the appropriate section of this manual.
Have your MAKITA dealer check your saw and make
proper adjustments or repairs.
Check the saw chain tension frequently, especially
just after installing a new chain. New chains may
stretch more during their initial use. A properly ad-
justed saw chain can be pulled freely around the
guide bar by hand without sagging. Always stop
the engine and wear gloves when checking or ad justing
the chain tension.
Working conditions
Operate your chain saw only outdoors. Operate the saw
under good visibility and daylight conditions only.
WARNING!
Take extreme care in wet and freezing weather
(rain, snow, ice). Put off the work when the weather
is windy, stormy or rainfall is heavy. Clear the area
where you are working.
WARNING!
Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps, roots
or rocks and watch out for holes or ditches. Be ex-
tremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven
ground. There is increased danger of slipping on
freshly debarked logs.
Cutting instructions
Always hold the saw rmly with both hands when the en-
gine is running. Place your left hand on the tubular handle
and your right hand on grip and throttle lever. Left-handers
should follow these instructions too.
8
7
WARNING!
Do not operate your chain saw in semi-throttle position.
Cutting in this position does not permit the operator
proper control of the saw or chain speed.
WARNING!
Never come too close to a rotating chain with your
hands or body.
WARNING!
Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use the chain saw
for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building
materials.
Use your chain saw for cutting only. It is not designed
for prying or shoveling away limbs, roots or other
objects.
When sawing, make sure that the saw chain does
not touch any foreign materials such as rocks, nails
and the like (g. 8). Such objects may be ung
off, damage the saw chain or cause the saw to
kickback.
If the chain saw is exposed to force, such as through
impact or falling, inspect the entire chain saw for
proper functioning.
Wrap your ngers tightly around the handles, keeping the
handles cradled between your thumb and forenger (g.
7). With your hands in this position, you can best oppose
and absorb the push, pull and kickback forces of your
saw without having it slip out of your grip (see section of
reactive forces).
Make sure your chain saw handle and grip are in good
condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed
and the spike bar in contact with the wood.
When starting a cut, the blade can slip to the side or jump
slightly. This depends on the wood and the condition of
the chain. Therefore, always hold the chain saw with
both hands.
WARNING!
Never use the saw with one hand. You cannot control
reactive forces (see pages 12 to 14) and may lose
control of the saw.
10
Position the chain saw in such a way that your body is
clear of the cutting attachment whenever the engine is
running (g. 10).
Don’t put pressure on the saw when reaching the end of
a cut. The pressure may cause the bar and rotating chain
to pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of control and strike
the operator or some other object. If the rotating chain
strikes some other object a reactive force (see pages 13
to 15) may cause the chain to strike the operator.
Reactive forces during the cut, including kickback
WARNING!
Reactive forces, that may occur during any cut are
kickback, pushback and pull-in. Reactive forces can
be dangerous! In any chain saw, the powerful force
used to cut wood can be reversed (and work against
the operator).
If the rotating chain is suddenly stopped by contact
with any solid object like a log or branch or is pinched,
the reactive forces instantly occur.
These reactive forces may result in loss of control
which may, in turn, cause serious or fatal injury. An
understanding of the causes of these reactive forces
may help you avoid loss of control.
The most common reactive forces are
- kickback,
- pushback,
- pull-in.
In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain
a rm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on
any other insecure support. Never use the saw above
shoulder height (g. 9).
9
10
This reaction can occur in a fraction of a second and under
some circumstances, cause the guide bar and chain to
strike the operator with enough force to cause severe or
fatal injury. It may also occur during limbing.
It also occurs when the nose of the guide bar is pinched
unexpectedly, unintentionally contacts solid material in
the wood (g.12) or is incorrectly used to begin a plunge
or boring cut.
The greater the force of the kickback reaction, the more
difcult it becomes for the operator to control the saw.
Kickback:
Kickback occurs when the upper quadrant of the bar
nose contacts a solid object in the wood or is pinched
(g. 11). The reaction of the cutting force of the chain
causes a rotational force of the chain saw in the direc
tion opposite to the chain movement, mainly in the plane
of the bar. This may ing the bar in an uncontrolled arc
towards the operator.
11
12
11
To avoid kickback
The best protection from personal-injury that may
result from kickback is to avoid kickback situations:
1. Hold the chain saw rmly with both hands and
maintain a secure grip.
2. Be aware of the location of the guide bar nose at all
times.
3. Never bring the nose of the guide bar in contact with
any object.
Do not cut limbs with the nose of the guide bar. Be
especially careful with small, tough limbs, small
size brush and saplings which may easily catch the
chain.
4. Don’t overreach.
5. Don’t cut above shoulder height.
6. Begin cutting and continue at full throttle.
7. Cut only one log at a time.
8. Use extreme caution when reentering a previous
cut.
9. Do not attempt plunge cuts (see page 16) if you are
not experienced with these cutting techniques.
10. Be alert for shifting of the log or other forces that may
cause the cut to close and pinch the chain.
11. Maintain saw chain properly. Cut with a correctly
sharpened, properly tensioned chain at all times.
12. Stand to the side of the cutting path of the chain
saw.
13
Many factors inuence the occurence and force of
the kickback reaction. The type of bar and saw chain you
use is a factor in the force of the kickback reaction.
The speed of contact at which the cutter contacts
the object.
Kickback force increase with the rate of impact.
The contact angle between the nose of the bar
and the foreign object (g. 11).
Kickback is most pronounced in the upper quadrant
of the bar nose.
MAKITA chain types are designed to reduce kickback
forces.
The depth gauges:
Improper lowering of the depth gauges also increases
the risk of a kickback.
Saw chain cutter sharpness:
WARNING!
A dull improperly sharpened chain may increase the
risk of kickback. Always cut with a properly sharpened
chain.
Devices for reducing the risk of kickback injury
MAKITA have developed a special chain brake to reduce
the risk of kickbacks.
This chain brake increases the safety factor on the
job, e.g. when the saw suddenly bucks upwards the chain
stops rotating within a fraction of a second.
A deection guard on the disengaging lever of the chain
brake and a scoop rear handle ensure that the operator’s
hands are fully protected at all times.
Kickback tendency increases as the radius or size of
the guide bar nose increases. MAKITA have developed
guide bars with small nose radius, to reduce the kickback
tendency.
WARNING!
No chain brake prevents kickback.
These brakes are designed only to stop the chain,
if activated.
To ensure a proper operation of the chain brake, it
must be properly maintained.
Furthermore, there must be a sufcient distance
between the operator and the bar to ensure that the
chain brake has sufcient time to activate and stop
the chain before potential contact with the operator.
12
16
To avoid pushback
1. Be alert to forces or situations that may cause mate-
rial to pinch the top of the chain.
2. Do not cut more than one log at a time.
3. Do not twist the saw when withdrawing the bar
from a plunge cut or under buck cut (gures 25 to
27 and 33, pages 16 and 18), because the chain
can pinch.
Pull-in:
Pull-in occurs when the chain on the bottom of the bar is
suddenly stopped. The chain on the bottom of the bar stops
when it is pinched, caught or encounters a foreign object
in the wood (see g. 15). The reaction of the chain pulls
the saw forward, causing the operator to lose control.
Pull-in frequently occurs when the spike bar of the
saw is not held securely against the tree or limb and
when the chain is not rotating at full speed before it
contacts the wood.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings which may easily catch the chain and
pull you off balance.
To avoid pull-in
1. Always start a cut with the chain rotating at full speed
and the spike bar in contact with the wood.
2. Pull-in may also be prevented by using plastic wedges
to open the kerf or cut.
Cutting techniques
Felling
Felling is cutting down a tree.
Before felling a tree, consider carefully all conditions which
may affect the direction of fall, including:
The intended direction of the fall.
The neutral lean of the tree.
Any unusually heavy limb structure.
Surrounding trees and obstacles.
The wind direction and speed.
WARNING!
Always observe the general condition of the tree. Look
for decay and rot in the trunk. If it is rotted inside, it
could snap and fall toward the operator while being
cut.
Also look for broken or dead branches which could
vibrate loose and fall on the operator. When felling on a
slope, the operator should stand on the up-hill side.
Pushback:
Pushback occurs when the chain on the top of the bar is
suddenly stopped when it is pinched, caught or encounters
a foreign object in the wood.
The reaction of the chain drives the saw straight back
toward the operator causing loss of saw control. Push-
back fre-quently occurs when the top of the bar is used
for cutting (g. 14).
14
15
When felling in the vicinity of roads, railways and
power lines, etc., take extra precautions (see g. 16).
Inform the police, utility company or railway authority
before beginning to cut.

First clear the tree base and work area from inter -fering
limbs and brush and clean its lower portion an axe (see
g. 18).
When felling, maintain a distance of at least 2 1/2 tree
lengths from the nearest person (see g. 17).
Note:
The noise of your engine may drown any warning call.
Felling instructions:
Plan your work, ensuring an obstacle-free work area and,
in the case of felling, have at least one escape path from
the falling tree prepared in advance.
Then, establish a path of escape and remove all obstacles.
This path should be opposite to the planned direction of
the fall of the tree and at a 45° angle (g. 19).
An alternate path must also be selected. Place all tools
and equipment a safe distance away from the tree, but
not on the escape path.
17

Then, determine the placement of the felling notch (g.
21). The felling notch when properly placed determines
the direction in which the tree will fall. It is made perpen-
dicular to the line of fall and should be as close to the
ground as possible.
Cut the felling notch to a depth of about one-fth to one-
fourth of the trunk diameter (g. 22). It should be in no case
higher than it is deep. Make the felling notch very care-
fully.

Begin the felling cut slighty higher than the felling notch
and on the opposite side of the tree (g. 22). Then cut
horizontally through towards the felling notch. Apply the
chain saw with its spikes directly behind the uncut portion
of wood and cut toward the notch (g. 23).
Leave approximately 1/10 of the tree diameter uncut!
This is the hinge (g. 23). Do not cut through the hinge
because you could lose control of the direction of the
fall. Drive wedges into the felling cut where necessary
to control the direction of the fall. Wedges should be of
wood, light alloy or plastic - never of steel, which can
cause kickback and damage to the chain.
Always keep to the side of the falling tree. When the
tree starts to fall, shut off the engine, withdraw the
bar and walk away on the pre-planned escape path.
Watch out for falling limbs.
WARNING!
Be extremely careful with partially fallen trees which
are poorly supported.
When the tree hangs or for some other reason does
not fall completely, set the saw aside and pull the tree
down with a cable winch, block and tackle or tractor.
If you try to cut it down with your saw, you may be
injured.
Sectioning Method
WARNING!
Felling a tree that has a diameter greater than the length
of the guide bar requires use of either the sectioning
or plunge-cut method. These methods are extremely
dangerous because they involve the use of the nose
of the guide bar and can result in kickback.
Only properly trained professionals should attempt
these techniques.
For the sectioning method (g. 24) make the rst cut with
the guide bar fanning in toward the hinge. Then, using the
bumper spike as a pivot, reposition the saw for the next
cut. Avoid repositioning the saw more than necessary.
When repositioning for the next cut, keep the guide bar
fully engaged in the kerf to keep the felling cut straight. If
the saw begins to pinch, insert a wedge to open the cut.
On the last cut, do not cut the hinge.
24
Plunge-Cut Method
Timber having a diameter more than twice the length of
the guide bar reauires the use of the plunge-cut method
before making the felling cut.
First, cut a large, wide notch. Make a plunge cut in the
center of the notch.
The plunge cut is made with the guide bar nose. Begin
the plunge cut by applying the lower portion of the guide
bar nose to the tree at an angle (g. 25). Cut until depth
of the kerf is about the same as the width of the guide
bar (g. 26). Next, align the saw in the direction in which
the recess is to be cut. With the saw at full throttle, insert
the guide bar in the trunk (g. 27).
Enlarge the plunge cut as shown in illustration (g. 28).

WARNING!
There is an extreme danger of kickback at this point.
Extra caution must be taken to maintain control of
the saw. To make the felling cut, follow the sectioning
method described previously (g. 29).
If you are inexperienced with a chain saw plunge-
cutting should not be attempted. Seek the help of a
professional.
Limbing
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
WARNING!
There is an extreme danger of kickback during the
limbing operation. Do not work with the nose of the
bar. Be extremely cautious and avoid contacting the
log or other limbs with the nose of the guide bar.
Do not stand on a log while limbing it - you may slip
or the log may roll.
Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs to support
the log off the ground (g. 30). Always cut from the
top of the limb.
Do not underbuck freely hanging limbs. A pinch may
result or the limb may fall, causing loss of control.
If a pinch occurs, stop the engine and remove the
saw, by lifting the limb.
WARNING!
Be extremely cautious when cutting limbs under
tension. The limbs could spring back toward the
operator and cause loss of control of the saw or
injury to the operator.

Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
31
32
WARNING!
1. When bucking, do not stand on the log. Make sure
the log will not roll down-hill. If on a slope, stand
on the up-hill side of the log (see g. 31). Watch
out for rolling logs.
WARNING!
2. Cut only one log at a time.
WARNING!
3. Shattered wood should be cut very carefully. Sharp
slivers of wood may be caught and ung in the
direction of the operator of the saw.
WARNING!
4. When cutting small logs, use a sawhorse (g. 32).
Never permit another person to hold the log. Never
hold the log with your leg or foot.
At the end of the cut the weight of the chain saw
will cause it to swing through, since it is no longer
held by the cut. Hold it rmly to control this.

Maintenance and Repair
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted or not completely or securely assembled.
Follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the
appropriate section of this manual.
WARNING!
Always stop the engine and make sure that the chain
is stopped before commencing any maintenance or
repair work or cleaning the saw. Allow the chain saw
to cool off before doing any maintenance work (burn
hazard)!
When the chain saw is hot, do not cover it (with a
tarp, blanket, newspaper or the like).
Let the chain saw cool down before putting it in a
storage case or vehicle.
Chain saws with catalytic converter take longer to
cool down!
Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not
described in this manual. Have such work performed
by your MAKITA service shop only.
Maintaining and storing the saw
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean and lubricated;
replace worn sprockets or chains.
Keep the chain sharp. You can spot a dull chain when
easy-to-cut wood becomes hard to cut and burn marks
appear on the wood.
Keep the chain at proper tension. Tighten all nuts, bolts
and screws except the carburetor adjustment screws
after each use.
Keep spark plug and wire connection tight and clean.
Store saws in a high or locked place, away from chil-
dren.
The chain protection cover should always be put on.
35
WARNING!
5. Logs under strain require special attention to pre-
vent the saw from pinching. The rst cut is made
on the compression side to relieve the stress on
the log (see g. 33, 34). The bucking cut is then
made as shown. If the saw pinches, stop the
engine and remove it from the log.
WARNING!
6. Only properly trained professionals should work
in an area where the logs, limbs and roots are
tangled (i. e. a blowdown area, g. 35). Working
in blowdown areas is extremely hazardous.
WARNING!
7. Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting.
Pull out exposed and cleared logs rst.
