Manual

Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!

Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA chain saw! We are

conÞ dent that you will be satisÞ ed with this modern piece of

equipment. The EA3500F-EA4301F are very handy and robust

chain saws with a new Design.

The automatic chain lubrication with variable-ß ow 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 Featherlight-Start system lets you

start the saw effortlessly with a spring-loaded starting assist.

For some countries the saw is also equipped with a catalytic

converter. This reduces the amount of pollutants in the exhaust,

and meets European Guideline 2002/88/EG.

MAKITA chain saws EA3500F-EA4301F are equipped with the

latest safety features and meet all national and international

standards. These features include: hand guards on both handles,

grip throttle lever lock, chain catch, safety saw chain, and chain

brake. The chain brake can be actuated manually, and is also

inertia-actuated automatically in case of kickback.
