Saw Chain Oil - Makita UC3030A Instruction Manual

Saw chain oil

Use a special oil with adhesive addition for lubricating the saw
chain and bar. The adhesive addition prevents that the oil is
centrifuged too fast from the sawing device.
Do not use mineral oils. In order to protect the invironment the
use of biologically decomposeable oil is prescribed.
The saw chain oil sold by MAKITA, called BIOTOP, is made of
special vegetable oils and is biologically decomposeable to 100%.
BIOTOP h as b een g ranted t he " blue a ngel" f or b eing p articularly
favourable to the environment (RAL UZ 48).
Important note on bio-degradable chain oils
If you are not planning to use the saw again for an extended
period of time, empty the oil tank and put in a small amount
of regular engine oil ( SAE 3 0), a nd t hen r un t he s aw f or
a time. T his is necessary to flush out all remaining bio-­
degradable oil from the oil tank, oil-feed system, chain
and guide bar, as many such oils tend to leave sticky
residues over time, which can cause damage to the oil
pump or other parts.
NEVER USE WASTE OIL
Waste oil is very dangerous for the environment.
Waste oil contains high amounts of carcinogenic substances.
The residues in the waste oil result in a high degree of wear and
tear at the oil pump and the sawing device.
In the case of damage caused by using waste oil or unappropriate
saw chain oil the product guarantee will be null and void.
Your salesman will inform you about the use of saw chain oil.
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACTS
Mineral oil products as well as oil degrease the skin. If your skin
repeatedly comes in contact with these substances for a longer
period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may result.
In addition, allergic reactions are known.
