Using your Makita GCU06T1 chain saw is quite straightforward. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the saw. You can use the variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your needs. When starting the saw, hold it firmly with both hands, using the rubberized soft - grip top handle to apply even pressure. For cutting, position the guide bar against the material and start the saw. Remember to keep the chain lubricated. You can adjust the automatic chain lubrication and use the large oil filling port with a view window to check and add bar oil easily. Regarding safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like gloves, goggles, and ear protection. The Active Feedback - Sensing Technology (AFT®) is there to protect you. If the rotation of the attachment suddenly stops, the motor will turn off automatically. For maintenance, use the tool - free chain adjustment to keep the chain in good condition. Regularly clean the saw, especially after working in dusty or wet conditions. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), it can resist dust and water, but it's still good to dry it off if it gets wet. When not in use, turn off the saw using the built - in L.E.D. on/off switch. The auto - power - off function will save battery life if you forget to turn it off. Store the saw in a dry place and charge the battery periodically to keep it in good shape.
