Why my Makita Chainsaw does not start?
- K
  Krista FarmerAug 18, 2025
  Your Makita Chainsaw might not start because two battery cartridges are not installed. Make sure to install two charged battery cartridges. Another reason could be a battery problem, such as low voltage. In this case, recharge the battery cartridges, and if that doesn't work, replace them. Also, the main power switch may be off. If the chainsaw is left un-operated for a while, it automatically turns off, so turn the main power switch on again.

  If there's no oil on the chain of your Makita Chainsaw, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the oil tank is empty and fill it if needed. Another possibility is that the oil guide groove is dirty, so try cleaning it. Finally, there might be poor oil delivery, in which case you should adjust the amount of oil delivery with the adjusting screw.
