o the tool and remove the battery cartridge.

2. Before handling the saw chain or adjusting the

chain tension, wear protective gloves.

3.

Before starting the tool, inspect the tool for dam-

ages, loose screws/nuts or improper assembly.

Sharpen blunt saw chain. If the saw chain is bent

or damaged, replace it. Check all control levers and

switches for easy action. Clean and dry the grips.

4. Never attempt to start the tool if the tool is

damaged or not fully assembled. Otherwise

seriousinjurymayresult.

5. Adjust the shoulder harness to suit the opera-

tor’s body size.

6. Adjust the chain tension properly. Rell the

chain oil, if necessary.

Starting the tool

1. Wear the personal protective equipments

before starting the tool.

2. Before starting the tool, make sure that there

is no person or animal in the work area.

3.

When installing the battery cartridge, keep the

saw chain and guide bar clear of your body and

other object, including the ground. The saw chain

may move when starting and may cause serious

injuryordamagetothesawchainand/orproperty.

4. Place the tool on rm ground. Maintain good

balance and secure footing.

Operation

1. In the event of an emergency, switch o the

tool immediately.

2. If you notice any unusual condition (e.g. noise,

vibration) during operation, switch o the tool.

Do not use the tool until the cause is recog-

nized and solved.

3. The saw chain continues to move for a short

period after switching o the tool. Don’t rush

to contact the saw chain.

4. During operation, use the shoulder harness.

Keep the tool on your right side rmly.

5. Hold the front grip with your left hand and the

rear grip with your right hand, no matter you

are right-hander or left-hander. Wrap your

ngers and thumbs around the grips.

6. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, because the saw chain may contact hid-

den wiring. A saw chain contacting a “live” wire

may make exposed metal parts of the extend-

ed-reach pruner “live” and could give the operator

an electric shock.

7. Never attempt to operate the tool with one

hand. Loss of control may result in serious or

fatal injury. To reduce the risk of injury, keep

your hands and feet away from the saw chain.

8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Watch for hidden obsta-

cles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches

to avoid stumbling. Clear fallen branches and

other objects away.

9. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of

control.

10. If the tool gets heavy impact or fall, check the

condition before continuing work. If there is

any damage or doubt, ask Makita authorized

service center for the inspection and repair.

11. Do not touch the head of the tool. The head of

the tool becomes hot during operation.

12. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused

by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to

20-minute rest every hour.

13. When you leave the tool, even if it is a short

time, always switch o the tool and remove the

battery cartridge. The running and unattended

tool may be used by unauthorized person and

cause serious accident.

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 o 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.

13 ENGLISH

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 o 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

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is

switched o 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,

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diculty,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leareusuallysucientfor

routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been

resharpened several times, have it sharpened in our

authorized service center.

Sharpening criteria:

WARNING: An excessive distance between

the cutting edge and depth gauge increases the

risk of kickback.

►Fig.34: 1. Cutter length 2. Distance between cutting

edge and depth gauge 3. Minimum cutter

length (3 mm)

— Allcutterlengthmustbeequal.Dierent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.

19 ENGLISH

— The best cutting results are obtained with following

distance between cutting edge and depth gauge.

• Chain blade 90PX : 0.65 mm

• Chain blade 91PX : 0.65 mm
