Transport And Storage; Maintenance; First Aid - Makita DCS9010 Instruction Manual

Transport and storage

- When changing your position during work switch off the chain
saw and actuate the chain brake in order to prevent an inad-
vertent start of the chain.
- Never carry or transport the chain saw with the chain run-
ning.
- When transporting the chain saw over long distances the guide
bar protection cover (delivered with the chain saw) must be
applied.
- Carry the chain saw with the tubular handle. The guide bar
indicates backwards (20). Avoid to come in contact with the
mufß er (danger of burning).
- Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during car trans-
portation to avoid fuel or chain oil leakage.
- Store the chain saw safely in a dry place. It must not be stored
outdoors. Keep the chain saw away from children.
- For storing the chain saw over a long period of time or shipping
it the fuel and oil tanks must be completely emptied.

Maintenance

- Before performing maintenance works switch off the chain
saw (21) and pull out the plug cap.
- Before starting work always check the operating safety of
the chain saw, in particular the function of the chain brake.
Make sure that the chain is always sharpened and tightened
correctly (22).
- Operate the chain saw only at a low noise and emission level.
For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly.
- Regularly clean the chain saw.
- Regularly check the tank cap for tightness.
Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by
the trade federations and insurance companies. Do not
perform any modiÞ cations on the chain saw. You will risk
your safety.
Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in
the instruction manual. All other works must be carried out by
the 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.
