SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
mayresultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
General pruner saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the pruner saw is operating.
Before you start the pruner saw, make sure
the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating pruner saws
may cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the pruner saw with one hand
on the rear handle and the other hand on the
auxiliary handle.
3. Hold the pruner saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may con-
tact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the pruner
saw "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
4. Wear eye protection. Further protective equip-
ment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment
willreducepersonalinjuryfromyingdebrisor
accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a pruner saw in a tree, on a lad-
der, from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation of a pruner saw in this manner could
resultinseriouspersonalinjury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the
pruner saw only when standing on xed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of
the pruner saw.
7. When cutting a branch that is under tension,
be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
woodbresisreleased,thespringloadedbranch
may strike the operator and/or throw the pruner
saw out of control.
8.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
andbewhippedtowardyouorpullyouo󰀨balance.
9. Carry the pruner saw with the pruner saw
switched o󰀨 and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the pruner saw, always
t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the
pruner saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use pruner saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
pruner saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
prunersawforoperationsdi󰀨erentthanintended
could result in a hazardous situation.
12. This pruner saw is not intended for tree felling.
Useoftheprunersawforoperationsdi󰀨erentthan
intendedcouldresultinseriousinjurytotheopera-
tor or bystanders.
13. Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the pruner saw.
Make sure the switch is o󰀨 and the battery
pack is removed.
14. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guidebartouchesanobject,orwhenthewood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personalinjury.Donotrelyexclusivelyuponthe
safety devices built into your saw. As a pruner saw
user, you should take several steps to keep your
cuttingjobsfreefromaccidentorinjury.
Kickback is the result of pruner saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and n-
gers encircling the pruner saw handles,
with both hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precau-
tions are taken. Do not let go of the pruner
saw.
►Fig.1

11 ENGLISH
• Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
tended tip contact and enables better control
of the pruner saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw
chains specied by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw
chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
15. Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the pruner saw.
Make sure the switch is o󰀨 and the battery
pack is removed.

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.
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil
tank periodically through the oil inspection window.
►Fig.20: 1. Oil inspection window 2. Oil tank cap
Tolltheoil,performthefollowingsteps:
1. Clean the area around the oil tank cap thoroughly
to prevent any dirt from entering the oil tank.
2. Lay the tool on its side.
3. Push the button on the oil tank cap so that the
button on the other side stands up, and then remove the
oil tank cap by turning it.
►Fig.21: 1. Oil tank cap 2. Tighten 3. Loosen
4.
Fill the oil tank with the oil. The proper amount of oil is 55 ml.
5. Screwtheoiltankcaprmlybackinplace.
6. Wipe away any spilt chain oil carefully.
NOTE:Ifitisdi󰀩culttoremovetheoiltankcap,insert
the tip of slotted screwdriver into the slot of the oil
tank cap, and then remove the oil tank cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
►Fig.22: 1. Slot 2. Slotted screwdriver
Afterrelling,holdthetoolawayfromthematerialtobecut.
Start it and wait until lubrication on saw chain is adequate.
►Fig.23
Working with the tool
CAUTION: Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the tool is operating.
CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly with both
hands when the tool is operating.
CAUTION: Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
NOTICE: Never toss or drop the tool.
NOTICE: Do not cover the vents of the tool.

the support part of tool body in contact with the branch
tobecutasshowninthegure.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.

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,
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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.27: 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.
— The best cutting results are obtained with following
distance between cutting edge and depth gauge.
• Chain blade 80TXL : 0.65 mm
►Fig.28
— 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 80TXL : 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 80TXL : 4.0 mm
—
Theleshouldonlyengagethecutterontheforward
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.

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).
