Using your Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 16" Chain Saw is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the saw. Then, turn on the saw using the L.E.D. on/off switch. You can control the cutting speed with the variable - speed trigger. When cutting, hold the saw firmly with the rubberized soft - grip top handle to apply even pressure. For maintenance, regularly check the chain tension and adjust it using the tool - less chain adjustment feature. Keep an eye on the oil level in the large oil reservoir and refill it through the large oil filling port with a view window. Also, make sure to clean the saw after each use, especially if it's used in dusty or wet conditions. The saw has IPX4 weather - resistant construction and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), but it's still best to keep it dry and protected when not in use. When storing, you don't need to drain the fuel, just turn off the saw and remove the battery. And remember, the digital communication in the XGT® system protects against overload, over - discharge, and overheating, but don't push the saw too hard for long periods to avoid any potential issues.
