14. When operating the tool, do not raise your
right hand above your shoulder height.
15. During operation, never hit the saw chain
against hard obstacles such stones and nails.
Take particular care when cutting branches
next to walls, wire fences or the like.
16. If branches get caught in the tool, always stop
the tool and remove the battery cartridge.
Otherwise unintentional start may cause serious
injury.
17. If the saw chain becomes clogged, always
switch off the tool and remove the battery
cartridge before cleaning.
18. Accelerating the tool with the saw chain
blocked increases the load and will damage
the tool.
19. Before cutting limbs, keep an escape area
away from the falling limb. First, clear
obstructs such as limbs and branches from
the work area. Move all tools and goods from
the escape area to another safe place.
20. Before cutting branches and limbs, check
the falling direction of them, considering the
condition of branches and limbs, adjoining
trees, wind direction, etc. Pay full attention to
the falling direction, and the rebound of the
branch, which hit the ground.
21. Never hold the tool at an angle of more than
60°. Otherwise falling objects can hit the oper-
ator and cause serious injury. Never stand
underneath the limb being cut.
22. Pay attention to broken or bent branches. They
may bounce back in cutting, causing unexpected
injury.
23. Before cutting limbs that you intend to cut,
remove branches and leaves around them.
Otherwise the saw chain may be caught by them.
24. To prevent the saw chain from being caught in
the kerf, do not release the lever before pulling
the saw chain out of the kerf.
25. If the saw chain is bound in the kerf, immedi-
ately stop the tool, carefully move the branch
to open the kerf and release the saw chain.
26. Avoid kickback (rotational reactive force
towards the operator). To prevent kickback,
never use the guide bar nose or perform a
penetrating cut. Always beware of the position
of the guide bar nose.
27. Check the chain tension frequently. When
checking or adjusting the chain tension,
switch off the tool and remove the battery
cartridge. If the tension is loose, tighten it.
28. When you use the tool on muddy ground, wet
slope, or slippery place, pay attention to your
footing.
29. Do not submerge the tool into a puddle.
30. Do not leave the tool unattended outdoors in
the rain.
Transport
Before transporting the tool, switch off the tool
1.
and remove the battery cartridge. Always fit
the guide bar cover during transportation.
When transporting the tool, carry it in a hori-
2.
zontal position by holding the grip.
Maintenance
Have your equipment serviced by our autho-
1.
rized service center, always using only genu-
ine replacement parts. Incorrect repair and poor
maintenance can shorten the life of the tool and
increase the risk of accidents.
2.
Before doing any maintenance or repair work or clean-
ing the tool, always switch off the tool and remove the
battery cartridge. Wait until the tool cools down.
3.
Always wear protective gloves when handling
the saw chain.
4.
After each use, tighten all screws and nuts,
except for adjustment screws.
Keep the saw chain sharp. If the saw chain
5.
has become blunt and cutting performance is
poor, ask Makita authorized service center to
sharpen it or replace it with new one.
6.
Do not attempt any maintenance or repair
not described in this instruction manual. Ask
Makita authorized service center for such work.
7.
Always use Makita genuine spare parts and
accessories only. Using parts or accessories
supplied by a third party may result in the tool
breakdown, property damage and/or serious injury.
Battery tool use and care
1.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying
the machine with your finger on the switch or energizing
machine that have the switch on invites accidents.
2.
Disconnect the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing machine. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
3.
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
Use machines only with specifically desig-
4.
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
5.
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
6.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
7.
Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8.
Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tempera-
ture above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
9.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or machine outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
