Check the sprocket (B/1) before mounting a new chain.

The sprocket is located underneath the clutch drum (B/2).

CAUTION:

Worn out sprockets (C) may damage the new chain and must therefore be replaced.

Do not attempt to replace the sprocket yourself. Sprocket replacement requires special training and tools and must be done at a MAKITA service center.

STOP

CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain, always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off the spark plug (see "Replacing the spark plug"). Always wear protective gloves!

CAUTION: Start the chain saw only after having assem- bled it completely and inspected!

NOTE:

The chain brake is a very important safety device and like any other component subject to normal wear and tear.

Regular inspection and maintenance are important for your own safety and must be done by a MAKITA service center.

Replacing the suction head

D

The felt filter (D/1) of the suction head can become clogged. It is recommended to replace the suction head once every three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the carburetor.

To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out through the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one end to form a hook.
