clogging it and impairing oil flow. Always clean out the
chips and sawdust when sharpening or replacing the saw
chain.

sawdust from the tool after removing the chain cover.
After cleaning the tool, run it under no load. Then remove
the battery cartridge from the tool and lubricate the saw
chain and guide bar.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers,
always using Makita replacement parts.

MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
Warranty Policy
Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested
before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of
defects from workmanship and materials for the period of
ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase. Should
any trouble develop during this one year period, return
the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of Makita's
Factory or Authorized Service Centers. If inspection
shows the trouble is caused by defective workmanship or
material, Makita will repair (or at our option, replace)
without charge.
This Warranty does not apply where:
•
repairs have been made or attempted by others:
•
repairs are required because of normal wear and
tear:

the tool has been abused, misused or improperly
maintained:
•
alterations have been made to the tool.
IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM-

MAKITA DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF "MERCHANTABILITY" AND "FITNESS FOR A SPE-
CIFIC PURPOSE," AFTER THE ONE YEAR TERM OF
THIS WARRANTY.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limi-
tation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do
not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you.
