Personal Protective Equipment - Makita DUC400 Betriebsanleitung

• Only use replacement guide bars and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw chains
may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
14. Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the
chain saw while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
