14.
Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other condition that may a󰀨ect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service cen-
ter unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
15. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is o󰀨 when clearing
jammed material. Saw chain continues to move
after the switch is turned o󰀨. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating the extended-reach pruner
may result in serious personal injury.
16.

chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the pole pruner, always t the saw chain device
cover. Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
17. Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. A saw chain contacting a ″live″ wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pole pruner
″live″ and could give the operator an electric shock.
18. Do not use the pole pruner in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
19. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use
near any electrical power lines. Contact with or
use near power lines may cause serious injury or
electric shock resulting in death.
20. Always use two hands when operating the pole
pruner. Hold the pole pruner with both hands
to avoid loss of control.
21. Always use head protection when operating
the pole pruner overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
22. When replacing batteries, all batteries should
be replaced at the same time in case the
tool employs more than one battery. Mixing
fresh and discharged batteries could increase
internal cell pressure and rupture the discharge
battery(ies).
23.
Remove or disconnect battery before servicing,
cleaning or removing material from the appli-
ance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
24. Use only the battery(ies) listed in
“SPECIFICATIONS”. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of re.
25. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not
to short the battery with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery
or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
26. A battery operated appliance with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specied charger for
the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of re when used
with another battery.

turning the appliance on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the appliance
may result in personal injury.
28. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
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 sparks, burns, or a re.
29. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

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.

6ENGLISH
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 or front handle with your
left hand and the rear grip or rear handle with
your right hand, no matter you are right-hander
or left-hander. Wrap your ngers and thumbs
around the grips or handles.
6.
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wir-
ing. A saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the extended-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 obstacles 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.

tridge or the spark plug cap 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 o󰀨 the tool and remove the battery
cartridge or the spark plug cap. If the tension
is loose, tighten it.
28. Pay attention to the environment. Avoid unnec-
essary throttle operation for less pollution

2. Disconnect the battery pack from the machine
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machine. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use machines only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
5. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
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 re.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts 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 modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or machine to

Working with the tool
CAUTION: Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the motor is operating.
CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly with both
hands when the motor is running.
CAUTION: Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
CAUTION: When cutting through branches,
be careful not to lose your balance due to the
weight of the tool head.
CAUTION: Always keep escape route in case
a cut branch falls towards the operator.
CAUTION: Never use the tip of the guide bar
for cutting. Otherwise, dangerous kickback may
occur, and it may result in personal injury.

12 ENGLISH
NOTICE: Never toss or drop the tool.
NOTICE: Do not cover the vents of the tool.
NOTICE: Do not force the tool. Otherwise, it may
damage the tool.
Stand on a stable surface, and hold the tool away from

or less against the horizontal ground.
1
► 1. 60° or less
Start the tool, and then press the saw chain onto the
branch lightly.
When cutting long branches, in order to control the drop
position of cut branches, divide the branch in sections
and cut the branch from the tip. Pay attention to the
falling branches since they may bounce in the direction
of the operator after hitting the ground.
When cutting thick branches, rst make a shallow
undercut and then make the nish cut from the top.

13 ENGLISH
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 sev-
eral 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.
22
11
31
► 1. Cutter length 2. Distance between cutting edge and
depth gauge 3. Minimum cutter length (3 mm (1/8"))
— 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 (1/8") 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 90PX : 0.65 mm (1/32″)
• Chain blade 91PX : 0.65 mm (1/32″)
30
30
55 55
— The sharpening angle of 30° must be the same on
all cutters. Di󰀨erent cutter angles cause the chain
to run roughly and unevenly, accelerate wear, and
lead to chain breaks.
— Use a suitable round le so that the proper sharp-
ening angle is kept against the teeth.
• Chain blade 90PX : 55°
• Chain blade 91PX : 55°
File and le guiding
— Use a special round le (optional accessory) for
saw chains to sharpen the chain. Normal round
les are not suitable.
— Diameter of the round le for each saw chain is as
follows:
• Chain blade 90PX : 4.5 mm (3/16″)
• Chain blade 91PX : 4.0 mm (5/32″)
— The le should only engage the cutter on the for-
ward stroke. Lift the le o󰀨 the cutter on the return
stroke.
— Sharpen the shortest cutter rst. Then the length
of this shortest cutter becomes the standard for all
other cutters on the saw chain.
— Guide the le as shown in the gure.

► 1. File 2. Saw chain
— The le can be guided more easily if a le holder
(optional accessory) is employed. The le holder
has markings for the correct sharpening angle of
30° (align the markings parallel to the saw chain)
and limits the depth of penetration (to 4/5 of the
le diameter).

14 ENGLISH
— After sharpening the chain, check the height of the
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional
accessory).
— Remove any projecting material, however small,
with a special at le (optional accessory).
— Round o󰀨 the front of the depth gauge again.
Cleaning the guide bar
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove.
They may clog the bar groove and impair the oil ow.
Clean out the chips and sawdust every time when you
sharpen or replace the saw chain.
Cleaning the sprocket cover
Chips and saw dust will accumulate inside of the
sprocket cover. Remove the sprocket cover and saw
chain from the tool then clean the chips and saw dust.
Cleaning the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil dis-
charge hole during operation. These dust or particles
may impair the oil to ow and cause an insu󰀩cient
lubrication on the whole saw chain. When a poor chain
oil delivery occurs at the top of guide bar, clean the oil
discharge hole as follows.
1. Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from
the tool.
2. Remove the small dust or particles using a slotted
screwdriver or the like.

les instructions concernant le graissage et le
remplacement des accessoires. Maintenez les
poignées sèches, propres et exemptes d’huile ou
de graisse.
14. Vériez les pièces endommagées - Avant de
poursuivre l’utilisation de l’appareil, il est impé-
ratif de vérier soigneusement si un protecteur
ou autre pièce endommagé fonctionne bien et
remplit la fonction pour lequel il a été conçu.
Assurez-vous que les pièces mobiles ne sont pas
désalignées ou coincées, et qu’aucune pièce n’est
cassée, mal montée ou n’a subi des dommages
pouvant a󰀨ecter son fonctionnement. Un protec-
teur ou toute autre pièce endommagé doit être
adéquatement réparé ou remplacé par un centre
de service après-vente agréé, sauf indication
contraire dans le présent manuel.
15. Gardez toutes les parties de votre corps à
l’écart de la chaîne. Pendant que les lames
sont en mouvement, évitez de retirer le maté-
riau coupé ou de tenir le matériau à couper.
Avant de retirer un matériau coincé, veillez
à mettre l’interrupteur en position d’arrêt. La
chaîne continue de bouger une fois l’interrupteur

pièces métalliques à découvert du coupe-branche
sur perche pourraient se mettre sous tension et
transmettre une décharge électrique à l’utilisateur.
18. N’utilisez pas le coupe-branche sur perche
sous de mauvaises conditions météo, et tout
spécialement lorsqu’il y a risque de foudre.
Cela réduit le risque d’être frappé par la foudre.
19. Pour réduire le risque d’électrocution, ne
l’utilisez jamais près des lignes électriques. Le
contact avec des lignes électriques ou l’utilisation
près de celles-ci peut entraîner une grave bles-
sure ou une décharge électrique mortelle.
20. Utilisez toujours le coupe-branche sur perche
à deux mains. Tenez le coupe-branche sur
perche à deux mains pour éviter d’en perdre le
contrôle.
21. Portez toujours un casque protecteur lorsque
vous utilisez le coupe-branche sur perche
au-dessus de votre tête. La chute de débris peut
entraîner une grave blessure.
22. Lors du remplacement des batteries, elles
doivent être toutes remplacées en même
temps si l’outil est alimenté par plus d’une
batterie. Mélanger des batteries fraîches et des
batteries déchargées peut faire augmenter la
pression interne de la cellule et causer la rupture
des batteries déchargées.
23. Retirez ou déconnectez la batterie avant de
réparer l’appareil, de le nettoyer ou d’en retirer
un matériau. Ces mesures préventives de sécu-
rité réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel
de l’appareil.
24. Utilisez exclusivement les batteries qui
gurent dans les « SPÉCIFICATIONS ».
L’utilisation de toutes autres batteries peut entraî-
ner un risque d’incendie.
25. Manipulez les batteries soigneusement, pour
ne pas les court-circuiter avec des matériaux
conducteurs tels que les anneaux/bagues,
bracelets et clés. La batterie ou le conducteur ris-
querait de surchau󰀨er et de causer des brûlures.
26. Un appareil alimenté par des batteries inté-
grées ou une batterie séparée ne doit être
rechargé qu’avec le chargeur spécié pour les-
dites batteries. Un chargeur conçu pour un type
donné de batterie comporte un risque d’incendie

clés de réglage. Toute clé laissée en place sur
une pièce rotative de l’appareil peut entraîner une
blessure.
28. Lorsque vous n’utilisez pas la batterie, ran-
gez-le à l’écart des objets métalliques tels
que : trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés,
clous, vis ou autres petits objets métalliques
qui risquent d’établir une connexion entre les
bornes. Court-circuiter les bornes de batterie
peut causer des étincelles, des brûlures ou un
incendie.
29. Dans des conditions d’utilisation inadéquates
de la batterie, il peut y avoir fuite d’électrolyte;
évitez tout contact avec ce liquide. En cas
de contact accidentel, rincez avec beaucoup
d’eau. Si le liquide pénètre dans vos yeux, il
faut aussi consulter un médecin. L’électrolyte
qui s’échappe de la batterie peut causer des
irritations ou des brûlures.
30. Utilisez exclusivement les accessoires recom-
mandés par le fabricant pour votre modèle.
Les accessoires conçus pour une appareil donné
peuvent entraîner un risque de blessure lorsque
utilisés sur un autre appareil.
31. La réparation de l’appareil doit être conée
exclusivement à des réparateurs qualiés.

Nouvelle-Zélande. En Australie/Nouvelle-
Zélande, la loi exige également de porter un
écran facial pour se protéger le visage.
L’employeur a la responsabilité d’imposer
l’utilisation d’équipements de protection de
sécurité adéquats aux utilisateurs des outils
et à toute autre personne se trouvant dans la
zone de travail immédiate.
3. Portez une protection d’oreilles telle qu’un
protège-oreilles pour prévenir les lésions de
l’ouïe.
4. Portez des vêtements et chaussures sécuri-
taires, tels qu’une combinaison de travail et
des chaussures robustes à semelle antidé-
rapante. Ne portez ni vêtements amples ni
bijoux. Les vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux
longs peuvent être happés par les pièces en
mouvement.
5. Portez des gants de protection lorsque vous
manipulez la chaîne ou réglez sa tension. La
chaîne peut couper sévèrement les mains nues.
Sécurité de la zone de travail
1. Gardez l’outil à au moins 15 m (50 pi) des
lignes électriques et câbles de communication
(y compris les branches qui les touchent).
Toucher les lignes haute tension ou s’en
approcher avec l’outil peut entraîner la mort
ou une grave blessure. Avant de commencer
le travail, vériez s’il y a des lignes électriques
ou des clôtures électriques aux environs de la
zone de travail.
2. N’utilisez l’outil que dans des conditions
de bonne visibilité et à la lumière du jour.
N’utilisez pas l’outil dans l’obscurité ou le
brouillard.
3. Pendant l’exécution du travail, ne vous tenez
jamais sur une surface instable ou glissante,
ou dans une pente abrupte. Pendant la saison
froide, prenez garde à la glace et à la neige, et
assurez-vous toujours d’une bonne prise au
sol.
4. Pendant l’exécution du travail, ne laissez pas
les curieux ou les animaux approcher à moins
de 15 m (50 pi) de l’outil. Arrêtez l’outil dès que
quelqu’un approche.
5. Lorsque vous travaillez avec deux autres
personnes ou plus, gardez une distance d’au
moins 15 m (50 pi) entre chaque personne, et
désignez un superviseur.
6. Avant l’exécution du travail, vériez l’absence
de clôtures grillagées et de murs ou autres
objets solides dans la zone de travail. Ils
peuvent endommager la chaîne.
