Using your Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT 16 - inch Chain Saw is easy. First, make sure you've inserted two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Batteries. The saw is then ready to go. Use the variable - speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your needs. When it comes to chain adjustment, you can do it without any tools, which is very convenient. The front hand guard is designed to activate the chain brake when you engage it, adding an extra layer of safety. For maintenance, check the oil level regularly through the large oil filling port with a view window. Fill it up when needed as the saw has an adjustable automatic chain lubrication system. Don't forget to clean the saw after use, especially if you've been working in a dusty or dirty environment. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), it can handle some harsh conditions, but a little cleaning goes a long way. Also, always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ in the tool and batteries protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. But to keep them in good shape, don't leave the tool running for extended periods without breaks. The saw comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems during this time, reach out to Makita. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your chain saw!
