Safety features

The following safety features fitted to

MAKITA chainsaws reflect the latest

thinking in safety technology. They also

comply with all national and internatio-

nal safety regulations.

• Chain brake, which is activated by

inertia in the event of a kick-back,

but can also be operated manually

• Chain catcher, to protect the ope

rator in the event of chain breakage

and whiplash

• Throttle lock, to prevent accidental

or unintentional acceleration

• Hand guards on the front and rear

handles

• Saw chains with specially shaped

low kick-back links to minimize the

risk of chain kick-back (optional).

Saw chains

Saw chains consist of alternating right

and left chisel cutters, drive links and

tie-straps, riveted together in a certain

sequence. The drive links face inwards

or downwards; they run in the guide

bar rail and engage with the sprocket

of the clutch drum, which transfers

power from the engine to the drive

links. The cutting edge of the chisel

cutter removes the chip from the

wood. The thickness of the chip is

determined by the difference in height

between the top plate and the raker

or depth gauge. For efficient operation

of the chainsaw the cutting edges of

the chisel cutters must be kept sharp

at all times.

Quality and test certification

A comprehensive system of material

controls and functional checks before,

during and after the manufacturing

process ensures that MAKITA power

tools are built to consistently high qua-

lity standards.

Test institutes worldwide have carried

out exhaustive safety tests on MAKITA

chainsaws – with convincing results,

as the test reports show.

In Germany MAKITA power tools are

tested and certified by the following

organizations:

• KWF Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und

Forsttechnik (Board of Forestry and

Forestry Technology)

• TÜV Product Service GmbH

• VDE Verband Deutscher

Elektrotechniker (Association of

German Electrical Engineers)

• DLG Deutsche Landwirtschafts-

Gesellschaft (German Agricultural

Association)

• DPLF Deutsche Prüfstelle für Land-

und Forsttechnik

(German testing agency for

agricultural and forestry

equipment)
