MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Always wear gloves when performing any inspection or
maintenance.
Cleaning guide bar
Sometimes the groove on the guide bar may be clogged with
saw waste during cutting the workpiece, preventing the saw
chain from running smoothly on the guide bar. From time to
time, therefore, remove the saw waste stuck in the groove.
Storing tool
Clean the tool before storing. Remove the sprocket guard,
and remove the saw waste from the tool carefully. After
cleaning the tool, let the tool run on no load. And then
remove the battery cartridge from the tool and lubricate the
saw chain and the guide bar. Wipe up the oil flowing over the
lubricated places. Cover the guide bar with the scabbard.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.
