OPERATION
Lubrication
NOTICE: When filling the chain oil for the
first time, or refilling the tank after it has
been completely emptied, add oil up to the
bottom edge of the filler neck. The oil deliv-
ery may otherwise be impaired.
NOTICE: Use the saw chain oil exclusively
for Makita chain saws or equivalent oil
available in the market.
NOTICE: Never use oil including dust and
particles or volatile oil.
NOTICE: When pruning trees, use botanical
oil. Mineral oil may harm trees.
NOTICE: Before the cutting operation,
make sure that the provided oil tank cap is
screwed in place.
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the
tool is in operation. Check the amount of remain-
ing oil in the oil tank periodically through the oil
inspection window.

To refill the tank, lay the chain saw on its side,
then push the button on the oil tank cap so that
the button on the other side stands up, and then
remove the oil tank cap by turning it.
The proper amount of oil is 200 ml (6.8 fl oz).
After refilling the tank, make sure that the oil tank
cap is tightened securely.
