(Original instructions)
Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!
Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA chain saw! We are confident that you will be
satisfied with this modern piece of equipment.
The DCS230T/DCS231T/DCS232T (Tophandle) is a very light and handy chain saw
with the handle on the top. This model was developed especially for tree surgery and
care. Only persons who have completed training in working from elevated platforms
(cherry pickers, lifts), from platforms mounted on ladders or who are proficient in
climbing with ropes are permitted to operate this chain saw.
The automatic chain lubrication with variable-flow oil pump and maintenance-free
electronic ignition ensure trouble-free operation, while the hand-saving anti-vibration
system and ergonomic grips and controls make work easier, safer, and less tiring for
the user.
The safety features of the DCS230T/DCS231T/DCS232T are state of the art and
meet all German and international safety standards.
They include handguards on both grips, grip safety, chain catch, safety saw chain,
and chain brake. The chain brake can be actuated manually, and is also inertia-actu-
ated automatically in case of kickback.
In order to ensure the proper functioning and performance of your
new chain saw, and to safeguard your own personal safety, it is
imperative that you read this instruction manual thoroughly before
operation. Be especially careful to observe all safety precautions!
Failure to observe these precautions can lead to severe injury or
death!
