It also features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance in tough job sites and Star Protection Computer Controls™ to safeguard against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. It comes with a 3 - year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. This cordless chain saw kit is a great alternative to gas - powered equipment, offering less maintenance, zero emissions, and quick setup. It's part of Makita's extensive 18V Lithium - Ion system, known for fast - charging batteries.
Using your Makita chain saw is easy. First, make sure you've loaded two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion batteries into the saw. Check the oil level through the view window on the large oil filling port and add bar oil if needed. Once the batteries are in and the oil is at the right level, you're ready to start. Simply press the on/off switch to turn it on. Use the variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your needs. When you're done using the saw, let it rest for a bit and then turn it off. The auto power - off function will also help save battery life if you forget. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the saw working well. For maintenance, regularly check the chain tension using the lateral chain tensioning feature. Clean the chain and guide bar after each use. Keep the saw in a dry place, especially since it has XPT™ technology but still needs proper care. Also, thanks to Star Protection Computer Controls™, the saw will protect itself from overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating, but try not to push it too hard. If you notice any problems, refer to the 3 - year limited warranty and contact Makita support.
