      Your Makita Chain saw might not start because two battery cartridges are not installed. Make sure to install the charged battery cartridges. Alternatively, the battery might be under voltage. Try recharging the battery cartridge; if that doesn't work, replace it.

      If there's no oil on the chain of your Makita Chain saw, the oil tank might be empty, so fill it. Another possible cause is a dirty oil guide groove, which you should clean. Also, check if the oil delivery is not adjusted properly and adjust the amount of oil delivery.
