Transport and storage - When changing your location during work switch off the chain saw and actuate the chain brake in order to prevent an inadvertent start of the chain. - Never carry or transport the chain saw with the chain running. When the saw is hot, do not cover it (with a tarp, blanket, newspaper or the like). Let the saw cool down before putting it in a storage case or vehicle. Saws with catalytic converter take longer to cool down! 20 - When transporting the chain saw over long distances the guide bar protection cover (delivered with the chain saw) must be applied. - Carry the chain saw with the tubular handle. The guide bar points backwards (20).Avoid coming in contact with the mufßer (danger of burns). - Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during car transportation to avoid fuel or chain oil leakage. - Store the chain saw safely in a dry place. It must not be stored outdoors. Keep the chain saw away from children. - Before storing the chain saw over a long period of time or shipping it the fuel and oil tanks must be completely emptied. Maintenance 21 - Before performing maintenance work switch off the chain saw (21) and pull out the plug cap. - Before starting work always check the operating safety of the chain saw, in particular the function of the chain brake. Make sure that the chain is always sharpened and tightened correctly (22). - Operate the chain saw only at a low noise and emission level. For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly. - Regularly clean the chain saw. - Regularly check the tank cap for tightness. Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by trade associations and insurance companies. Do not perform any modiÞcations on the chain saw. You will put your safety at risk. 22 Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in the instruction manual. All other work must be carried out by MAKITA Service. Use only original MAKITA spare parts and accessories.
