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 manufacturer’s 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 elec-

trical 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.

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.

WARNING!

Never modify a chain saw in any way. Only attach-

ments supplied by MAKITA or expressly approved by

MAKITA for use with the specic saw are authori-

zed.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

Important adjustments

WARNING!

At correct idle speed, chain should not turn. For direc-

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

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

9

10

11

12

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).

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

13

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 re-entering 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

If the tree has large buttress roots, cut into the largest

buttresses vertically rst (horizontally next) and re move

(g. 20).

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.

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.

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.

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.
