User manual MAKITA EA3500F

[. . . ] The Featherlight-Start system lets you start the saw effortlessly with a spring-loaded starting assist. For some countries the saw is also equipped with a catalytic converter. This reduces the amount of pollutants in the exhaust, and meets European Guideline 2002/88/EC. MAKITA chain saws EA3500F, EA3201S, EA3202S, EA3203S, EA3201SG, EA3203SG are equipped with the latest safety features and meet all national and international standards. [. . . ] 11), the chain brake will stop the chain through inertia if the kickback is sufficiently strong. 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 7-13 “Checking the chain brake”)!50) 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. Releasing the chain brake Pull the hand guard (1) towards you (arrow 2) until you feel it catch. Keep tool well away from open flames, spark, or fire (explosion hazard). 4 50:1 25:1 + 1 , 000 cm3 (1 litre) 5 , 000 cm3 (5 litres) 10 , 000 cm3 (10 litres) 20 cm3 100 cm3 200 cm3 40 cm3 200 cm3 400 cm3 Fuel mixture This tool is powered by a high‑performance air-cooled two‑stroke engine. 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. To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke aircooled engines (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), which has to be 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 50:1 to protect the environment. AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT BIOTOP chain oil is available in the following sizes: 1 l 5 l order number 980 008 610 order number 980 008 611 Bio-degradable oil is stable only for a limited period of time. It should be used within 2 years from the date of manufacture (printed on the container). The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with BIOTOP chain oil again. In case of damage caused by using waste oil or unappropriate chain oil the product guarantee will be null and void. Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to prevent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank. 51) Lubricating the chain Unscrew the tank cap (use the universal wrench if necessary, see illustration) and fill tank with fuel mixture or saw chain oil up to the bottom edge of the filling neck. Chain oil Fuel/oil mixture During operation there must always be sufficient chain oil in the chain‑oil tank to provide good chain lubrication. At medium oil feed rate, the oil tank holds enough for one fuel tank’s worth of operation. During this procedure check whether there is enough the chain oil in the tank and refill if necessary. Checking the chain lubrication Never work with the chain saw without sufficient chain lubrication. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide bar will be reduced. [. . . ] The user of the chain saw must not perform maintenance work which is not described in the instruction manual. Check and replace if necessary Check tightness of mounting, Check screws Check Check their condition and that they are firmly secured. Replace Clean Check at an authorized service center Clean exterior, check for damage. In case of damage, have repaired by a qualified service center immediately Demount, clean and oil slightly Clean the guide groove of the guide bar Empty and clean Run empty 8-3 8-13 8-5 8-3 7-10, 8-2 7-14 6 8-11 8-11 8-12 8-6, 8-7 6, 8-8 6 30 9.
