-Power Supply

Connect chain saw to correct voltage, that is, be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool (11).

-Replacement Parts

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts (11).

-Polarized Plugs

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

-Wear ear protectors during operation.

-Before making a felling cut, remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.

-Secure the log so that it will not rol or move suddenly during operation.

-AVOlD UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.

-Attention! Do not expose this tool to rain (12) and pull plug immediately if the supply cable is damaged or cut (13).

-The chain saw must not be left outdoors during rain and it must not be used when wet.

VOLTAGE WARNING:

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Use of Extension Cord

If the extension cord is intended to be used outdoors, the cord shall be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation, for example - SJTW-A, to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-heating. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Keep the cord away from the cutting area and to position cord so that it will not be caught on branches, and the like, during cutting. Use the table below to determine the proper wire size required in the extension cord.

Contact MAKITA Authorized or Factory Service Center if a proper extension cord cannot be found.
