When cutting, turn on the saw and use the torque boost mode if you're dealing with thick or hard branches. For maintenance, keep an eye on the bar oil level in the translucent tank and refill it through the large opening when needed. Regularly check the chain tension and adjust it using the lateral chain tensioning with a single stud. Make sure to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers to avoid any issues.
