AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
D
Mineral oil products as well as oils degrease your skin. If your
skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and
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 comes into your
eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.
If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
Refuelling
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be switched off.
- Thoroughly clean the tanks around the screw caps to
prevent dirt from entering the fuel or oil tank.
- Unscrew the cap and fill in fuel or chain oil until it reaches
the bottom edge of the filler socket. Be careful when
refilling. Do not spill fuel or oil.
- Tightly screw on the cap.
Clean screw cap and tank after refuelling.
Lubricating the chain
In order to ensure sufficient lubrication of the chain there must
always be enough oil in the tank. Its contents is sufficient for
approx. 1/2 hour of continuous operation.

The engine must be switched off.
The oil pump can be regulated with the adjusting screw (F/1).
The adjusting screw is mounted on the bottom side of the
casing.
The oil pump has been adjusted to a medium feed quantity by
MAKITA.
For changing the feed quantity use the universal wrench and
adjust the adjusting screw (F/1) in the following way:
-turn to the right to reduce the quantity
- turn to the left to increase the quantity.
To guarantee a troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil
guide groove at the crank case (G/2) and the oil inlet bore in
the guide bar (G/3) must be cleaned regularly.
Note: After the saw has been turned off it is normal for
residual chain oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide
bar and the chain for a time. This does not constitute a defect!
Place the saw on a suitable surface.
