Before cutting down a tree ensure that a) only those persons are within the working range which are actually involved in cutting down the tree b) all persons involved in the felling have an unhindered retreat route (the retreat path should be about 45°...

MAINTENANCE Sharpening the saw chain When working on the saw chain you must always pull out the power supply plug and wear protective gloves. The chain needs sharpening when: the sawdust from sawing humid wood looks like wood flour. the saw chain penetrates the wood only under great pres- sure.
Worn out sprockets (2) may damage the new chain and must therefore be replaced. Do not attempt to replace the sprocket yourself. Sprocket replace- ment requires special training and tools and must be done at a MAKITA service centre. SERVICE Inspecting and replacing the carbon brushes Important: Inspect the carbon brushes at regular intervals! A notch on the brush shows the limit of wear.
The user of the electric chain saw is not allowed to perform maintenance works which are not described in the instruction manual. All other works must be carried out by a MAKITA service centre. Page General work Electric
