NOTICE:
Never toss or drop the tool.
NOTICE:
Do not cover the vents of the tool.
Before starting the tool, bring the root of guide bar and
the support part of tool body in contact with the branch
to be cut as shown in the figure. While contacting the
branch with the tool and guide bar, start the tool and
saw the branch by moving the tool down along the
branch.
► Fig.24
CAUTION:
Before the cutting operation, make
sure that the branch to be cut is in contact with
the root of guide bar and the support part of tool
body. Otherwise, the tool may be pulled toward the
tip of guide bar and the guide bar may wobble, and
may result in an injury.
Carrying tool
Before carrying the tool, always remove the battery
cartridge from the tool. Then attach the guide bar cover.
Also cover the battery cartridge with the battery cover.

Hook
Optional accessory
Attach the hook with the included screw.
► Fig.27
The hook can be folded. When using the hook, unfold it
and hang it on the carabiner.
► Fig.28
WARNING:
Be careful not to overload the
hook as too much force or irregular overburden
may cause damages to the tool resulting in per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly. If not, the hook
may come off from the tool and result in the personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure to hang the tool
securely before releasing your hold. Insufficient
or unbalanced hooking may cause falling off and you
may be injured.
CAUTION:
Use the hook for its intended pur-
poses only. Using for unintended purpose may
cause accident or personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves when perform-
ing any inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Sharpening the saw chain
Sharpen the saw chain when:
•
Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is
cut;
•
The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty, even
when heavy pressure is applied;
•
The cutting edge is obviously damaged;
•
The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood.
(caused by uneven sharpening of the saw chain or
damage to one side only)
Sharpen the saw chain frequently but a little each time.
Two or three strokes with a file are usually sufficient for
routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been
resharpened several times, have it sharpened in our
authorized service center.
Sharpening criteria:
WARNING:
the cutting edge and depth gauge increases the
risk of kickback.
► Fig.29: 1. Cutter length 2. Distance between cutting
edge and depth gauge 3. Minimum cutter
length (3 mm)
—
All cutter length must be equal. Different cutter
lengths prevent the saw chain from running
smoothly and may cause the saw chain to break.
—
Do not sharpen the chain when the cutter length
has reached 3 mm or shorter. The chain must be
replaced with new one.
—
The chip thickness is determined by the distance
between the depth gauge (round nose) and the
cutting edge.
—
The best cutting results are obtained with following
distance between cutting edge and depth gauge.
•
Chain blade 80TXL : 0.65 mm
► Fig.30
—
The sharpening angle of 30° must be the same on
all cutters. Different cutter angles cause the chain
to run roughly and unevenly, accelerate wear, and
lead to chain breaks.
—
Use a suitable round file so that the proper sharp-
ening angle is kept against the teeth.
