Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 ° C - 40 ° C (50 ° F - 104 ° F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4 . When not using the battery cartridge, remove
it from the tool or the charger.

OPERATION
Lubrication
CAUTION: Do not operate the tool when the
tank is empty. Replenish the oil in due time before
the tank is empty.
CAUTION: Prevent the oil from coming into
contact with the skin and eyes. Contact with the
eyes causes irritation. In the event of eye contact,
ush the a󰀨ected eye immediately with clear
water, then consult a doctor at once.
CAUTION: Never use waste oil. Waste oil contains
carcinogenic substances. The contaminants in waste
oil cause accelerated wear of the oil pump, the bar and
the chain. Waste oil is harmful to the environment.
NOTICE: When the tool is used for the rst time,
it may take up to two minutes for the saw chain oil
to begin its lubricating e󰀨ect upon the saw mech-
anism. Run the saw without load until it does so.
NOTICE: When lling the chain oil for the rst time,
or relling the tank after it has been completely emp-
tied, add oil up to the bottom edge of the ller neck.
The oil delivery may otherwise be impaired.
NOTICE: Use the saw chain oil exclusively for
Makita tools or equivalent oil available in the market.
NOTICE: Never use oil including dust and parti-
cles or volatile oil.
NOTICE: When pruning trees, use botanical oil.
Mineral oil may harm trees.
NOTICE: Before the cutting operation, make sure
that the provided oil tank cap is screwed in place.

Consignes de sécurité générales
pour scie d’élagage
1. É loignez la chaî ne de votre corps pendant
l’utilisation de la scie d’élagage. Avant de faire
démarrer la scie d’élagage, assurez-vous que
la chaî ne n’est pas en contact avec quoi que
soit. R e s t e z a t t e n t i f e n p e r m a n e n c e , p o u r é v i t e r

2. Tenez toujours la scie d’élagage en plaçant
une main sur la poignée arriè re et l’autre main
sur la poignée auxiliaire.
3.
Tenez la scie d’élagage uniquement par ses sur-
faces de prise isolées, car la chaî ne pourrait entrer
en contact avec le câ blage caché. L e c o n t a c t d e s
chaînes avec un l sous tension peut transmettre du

4 . Portez une protection oculaire. De plus, nous
vous recommandons de porter des équipe-
ments de protection pour les oreilles, la tê te,
les mains, les jambes et les pieds. L e p o r t

5. N’utilisez pas la scie d’élagage dans un arbre,
ou sur une échelle, depuis un toit ou tout sup-
port instable. L ’ u t i l i s a t i o n d ’ u n e s c i e d ’ é l a g a g e

8. Faites preuve d’une grande prudence lorsque
vous coupez des broussailles ou de jeunes
arbres. De ns morceaux de bois peuvent se
coincer dans la chaîne et être projetés vers vous
