

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



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.



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

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



cartridge 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



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

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

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.

5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use

it for a long period (more than six months).

Sharpening the saw chain

Sharpen the saw chain when:

• Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is

cut;

 

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.



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.

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 90PX : 0.65 mm

• Chain blade 91PX : 0.65 mm

Fig.42

— The sharpening angle of 30° must be the same on
