Use bar and chain oil specifically designed for chainsaws. This ensures proper lubrication and extends the life of the chain and bar.
You can check the chain tension by pulling the chain away from the guide bar. The chain should be snug, and you should be able to pull it away from the bar about 1/8 inch.
Sharpen the chain when it becomes difficult to cut through wood, or if the saw produces fine sawdust instead of wood chips.
Locate the oil tank cap and remove it. Pour bar and chain oil into the tank until it reaches the fill line, then replace the cap.
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield, gloves, hearing protection, and appropriate work boots when operating the chainsaw.
Clean the chainsaw, remove the battery, and store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the chain protection cover.
The Makita DUC357 has a warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. Refer to the product manual or contact Makita customer service for specific warranty details.
Check the battery connection, ensure the battery is charged, and verify the power switch is in the on position.
Tighten the chain using the tool-less adjustment mechanism, referring to the manual for the correct tension.
Sharpen or replace the chain. Check the oil level and ensure the chain is properly lubricated.
Check the chain for damage and ensure it is properly tensioned. Inspect the guide bar for wear.
Check the oil tank cap and the oiler system for leaks. Ensure the oil tank is not overfilled.
