Plug in the saw CAREFUL! Before connecting the saw to a source of electricity, always make sure to check that when the ON/OFF switch (1) has been pressed in and released, it automatically comes back out to the "off" position. If it does not, do not under any circumstances connect the saw to a power source do not plug it in. Take the saw to a MAKITA service center before doing any work with it. Clip the extension cord and the saw's power cord into the cord grip (2). Plug the saw plug (3) into the socket of the extension cable (4). Using the chain saw Always be sure of you footing and hold the chain saw firmly with both hands while the motor is running. Switching on the motor - Plug in the saw (see above). - When switching on the electric chain saw always hold it with both hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your thumbs facing your fingers. The bar and chain must not be in contact with any object. - First depress the locking button (5) and then the power switch (1). Then release the locking button (5). - Attention: The chain starts running immediately. Keep the power switch depressed as long as the motor is to run. CAUTION: Never lock the power switch in the ON position. Switching off the motor - Release the power switch (1). NOTE: When the chain brake is actuated the power supply to the motor will be cut off. If the saw does not start when the ON/OFF switch (1) is actuated, it will be necessary to release the chain brake. - Pull the hand guard (6) firmly in the direction of the arrow until you feel it catch. Important: These models are equipped with a starting current limiter. This electronic component prevents too abrupt starting of the electric motor. Excess current cutoff: When the electrical current to the saw exceeds the permissible level, the power supply to the motor is automatically cut off. This prevents overheating of the motor and resulting damage. To start the saw up again, release the ON/OFF switch and press it again. CAUTION: Do not use the saw if the current cutoff repeatedly switches off the saw. Consult a MAKITA service center. 1 2 3 4 A 5 1 6 B 13
