Storing The Tool; Replacing The Sprocket - Makita UC002G Instruction Manual

Cleaning the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil
discharge hole during operation. These dust or
particles may impair the oil to flow and cause an
insufficient lubrication on the whole saw chain.
When a poor chain oil delivery occurs at the top of
guide bar, clean the oil discharge hole as follows.
1.
Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain
from the tool.
2.
Remove the small dust or particles using a
slotted screwdriver or the like.

Replacing the sprocket

age a new saw chain. Have the sprocket

tion of the sprocket.
