[. . . ] Using your right hand, guide the chain into the top guide groove on the guide bar (10). Note that the cutting edges along the top of the chain must point in the direction of the arrow (11)! 8 9 10 E Pull the chain (8) around the sprocket nose (12) of the guide bar in the direction of the arrow. 8 12 F Manually tighten the retaining nuts (). Replace the sprocket guard (3), putting the chain (8) over the chain catcher (13). 2 3 13 8 G Tightening the saw chain Turn the chain tightener (C/4) to the right (clockwise) until the chain engages the guide groove of the bottom side of the bar (see circle). 2 Slightly lift the end of the guide bar and turn the chain adjusting screw (C/4) to the right (clockwise) until the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar. While still holding up the guide bar, tighten the retaining nut s(2) with the universal wrench. H Checking the chain tension The tension of the chain is correct if the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar and can still be easily turned by hand. Check the chain tension frequently - new chains tend to get longer during use!NOTE: In order to guarantee uniform wear of the guide bar the bar should be turned over whenever replacing the chain. 2 Turn the retaining nuts (2) approximately one turn with the universal wrench. Slightly lift the end of the guide bar and turn the chain adjusting screw to the right (clockwise) until the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar. While still holding up the guide bar, tighten the retaining nuts (2) with the universal wrench. Tightening the saw chain A Chain brake The DCS34, DCS460 comes with an inertia chain brake as standard equipment. If kickback occurs due to contact of the guide-bar tip with wood (see SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, page 6), the chain brake will stop the chain through inertia if the kickback issufficientlystrong. The chain brake is installed to block the saw chain before starting it and to stop it immediately in case of an emergency. IMPORTANT: NEVER run the saw with the chain brake activated (except for testing, see "Checking the chain brake")!The chain will stop within a fraction of a second. B 2 1 1 Engaging the chain brake (braking) If the kickback is strong enough the sudden acceleration of the guide bar combined with the inertia of the hand guard (1) will automatically actuate the chain brake. To engage the chain brake manually, simply push the hand guard (1) forward (towards the tip of the saw) with your left hand (arrow ). Releasing the chain brake C Pull the hand guard (1) towards you (arrow ) until you feel it catch. The brake is now released. Fuel CAUTION: This saw is powered by mineral-oil products (gasoline (petrol) and oil). Gasoline 50:1 40:1 Fuel mixture The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a min. In case no such fuel is available, you can use fuel with a higher octane value. In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protect your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only. Theengineofthechainsawisahigh-efficiencytwo-strokeengine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. + 000 cm3 ( litre) 5000 cm3 (5 litres) 0000 cm3 (0 litres) 0 cm3 00 cm3 00 cm3 OIL For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: JASO FC or ISO EGD), which is added to the fuel. The engine has been designed for use of MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only 50: to protect the environment. In addition, a long service life and reliable operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases are ensured. MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available in the following sizes to suit your individual requirements: l order number 980 008 607 00 ml order number 980 008 606 If MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is not available, we urgently recommended a mixture ratio of 40: with other two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimum operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed. 50:1 40:1 NOTE: The correct mixture ratio: when using MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil, i. mix 50 parts gasoline with part oil. 5 cm3 5 cm3 50 cm3 It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a higher production of combustion residues which will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler. [. . . ] Non-performance of the required maintenance and cleaning. Guarantee Obvious overloading due to permanent exceeding of the upper performance limits. Damage from overheating due to dirt on the fan housing. Work on the chain saw by unskilled persons or inappropriate repairs. Use of unsuitable or old oil. Use of unsuitable spare parts or parts which are not original MAKITA parts, insofar as they have caused the damage. Damage related to conditions arising from lease or rent contracts. Cleaning, servicing and adjustment work is not covered by the guarantee. [. . . ]
