Þ rst-time users we recommend the use of reduced-kickback saw chains for added safety (see "Kickback", page 6). Ask your MAKITA dealer. Children and young persons aged under 18 years must not be allowed to operate the chain saw. Persons over the age of 16 years may, however, use the chain saw for the purpose of being trained as long as they are under the supervision of a qualiÞ...
Fuels / Refuelling Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw. Do not smoke or work near open Þ res (5). Let the engine cool down before refuelling. Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear protective gloves when refuelling.
Kickback - When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may occur. Kickbacks are produced when the upper part of the end of the guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard ob- jects (10). In this case the chain saw is thrown without any control and with high energy potentials in the direction of the user (risk of injuries).

Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries). When cutting with the bottom edge of the guide bar, the chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped.
MAKITA service. Use only original MAKITA spare parts and accessories. Applying spare parts which are not original MAKITA parts or accesories and guide bar/chain combinations or lengths results in a high risk of accidents. For accidents and damage resulting from using sawing devices or accesories which have not been approved we cannot accept any responsibility.
