Maintenance - Makita BUC250 Bedienungsanleitung

− Stand to the side of the falling tree. Keep an area
clear to the rear of the falling tree up to an angle of
45 ° either side of the tree axis (refer to the " felling
area " figure). Pay attention to falling branches.
− An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape
path should extend back and diagonally to the rear
of the expected line of fall as illustrated in figure.

Carrying tool

Always remove the battery cartridge from the tool and
overlap the guide bar with the scabbard before carrying
the tool. Also cover the battery cartridge with the battery
cover.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Always wear gloves
•
inspection or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Sharpening the saw chain
CAUTION:
Always remove the battery cartridge and wear
•
safety gloves when performing work on the saw
chain.
Fig.33
Sharpen the saw chain when:
− Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is cut;
− The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty, even
when heavy pressure is applied;
− The cutting edge is obviously damaged;
− The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood. The
reason for this behaviour is uneven sharpening of
the saw chain, or damage to one side only.
Sharpen the saw chain frequently, but remove only
a little material each time.
Two or three strokes with a file are usually sufficient for
routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been
resharpened several times, have it sharpened in a
MAKITA specialist repair shop.
File and file guiding
− Use a special round file (optional accessory) for
sharpening.
− Saw chain type 91VG and 91PX: Saw chain
round file, diameter 4.0 mm
− Saw chain type 90SG: Saw chain round file,
diameter 4.5 mm
when performing any

1. File forward stroke
2. 1/5 of the file diameter
011075
− The file should only engage the material on the
forward stroke. Lift the file off the material on the
return stroke.
− Sharpen the shortest cutter first. The length of this
cutter is then the gauge dimension for all other
cutters on the saw chain.
− Guide the file as shown in the figure.
− The file can be guided more easily if a file holder
(accessory) is employed. The file holder has markings
for the correct sharpening angle of 30 ° (align the
markings parallel to the saw chain) and limits the
depth of penetration (to 4/5 of the file diameter).
Guide the file as shown in the figure.
− After sharpening the chain, check the height of the
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional
accessory).
Fig.34
− Remove any projecting material, however small,
with a special flat file (optional accessory).
− Round off the front of the depth gauge again.
− Wash away dust and particles from saw chain
after adjusting the height of depth gauge.
Cleaning guide bar
Fig.35
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove,
clogging it and impairing oil flow. Always clean out the
chips and sawdust when sharpening or replacing the
saw chain.
Cleaning the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil
discharge hole during operation.
Small dust or particles built up in the oil discharge hole
may impair the oil discharge flow and cause an
insufficient lubrication on the whole saw chain.
When a poor chain oil delivery occurs at the top of
guide bar, clean the oil discharge hole as follows.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
