can the quantity of oil, lubricating the chain, be adjusted on the Makita DCS 34?

Just use enough to ensure that its sufficiently lubricated

And not splashing.

I am aware of that, and that was not the question. The question was can the volume be adjusted, not how much the amount should be. Thanks anyway.

how do you adjust chain? Old school way?

There's a screw just next to the chain

You need an extra long screwdriver to adjust it

If you take the cover off you will see it

Hopefully this will help you.

Just in the normal way. The chain tensioner is located on the inside of the bar near the comb It is a flat head screw and can be adjusted with the provided tool. loosen off the two nuts that hold the side cover and bar in place slightly, before winding the screw clockwise to tighten the chain.

Check the chain tension in the middle of the bar. and re-tighten the nuts when you are happy with the tension.
