Instructions for daily and periodic maintenance

To ensure long life, prevent damage and ensure the full functioning of the safety features the following maintenance must be performed regularly. Guarantee claims can be recognized only if this work is performed regularly and properly. Failure to perform the prescribed maintenance work can lead to accidents!

Perform the following servicing work daily after use. Make a habit of it, it does not require much time and your saw will always function properly.

Possibly hidden faults can be detected in this manner before causing expensive and annoying interruptions of your work. In case you should detect a fault in the safety equipment when performing daily servicing, the saw must not be used before elimination of the fault.

The user of the chain saw must not perform maintenance work which is not described in the instruction manual. All such work must be carried out by a MAKITA service center.

The Makita DCS 330 TH is a powerful and versatile chainsaw designed for professional users who demand high performance and reliability in their tools. This model is particularly favored for its exceptional cutting capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both forestry applications and general landscaping tasks.

With an engine speed of up to 12,000 RPM, this chainsaw can tackle thick branches and logs with ease, allowing the user to complete their tasks efficiently. The combination of power and lightweight design ensures that users can handle the saw comfortably for extended periods without excessive fatigue.

The chainsaw is equipped with a 12-inch guide bar, which enables precise cutting while maintaining a manageable size for various applications.
