Using the Makita chain saw is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged using the included rapid charger. Insert the battery into the saw. When starting, hold the saw firmly with both hands, using the rubberized soft grip top handle for better control. Use the variable speed trigger to adjust the cutting speed according to your needs. The adjustable automatic chain lubrication will keep the chain running smoothly, but remember to check the oil level through the view window on the large oil filling port and add oil as needed. When cutting, keep the saw steady and let the chain do the work. After use, turn off the saw using the built - in L.E.D. on/off switch. If you don't use it for a while, the auto power - off function will save battery life. For maintenance, use the 'tool - less' chain adjustment to keep the chain in good condition. Clean the saw regularly, especially after using it in dusty or wet conditions. The saw has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), but it's still a good idea to keep it dry and clean. Store the saw and batteries in a cool, dry place. Make sure to follow all safety instructions provided by Makita to avoid any accidents.
