Saw chain oil

A

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

980 008 611

20 liters

980 008 613

Waste oil

B

Never use waste oil

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

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

1

C

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 (C/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!

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.

D2

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

Lubricating the saw chain

In order to ensure sufficient lubrication of the saw chain there must always be enough oil in the tank. Its contents (120 ml) is sufficient for approx. 1/2 hour at continuous operation.

Important note on bio-degradable chain oils:

If you are not planning to use the saw again for an extended period of time (longer than the expiration date of the chain oil), 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.

The next time you use the saw refill the tank with new BIOTOP chain oil.
