SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, 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.
12 ENGLISH
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
powertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
willreducepersonalinjuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
yourngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
resultinpersonalinjury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewelleryor
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
cancausesevereinjurywithinafractionofa
second.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
powertoolwilldothejobbetterandsaferatthe
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
13 ENGLISH
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may aect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
foroperationsdierentfromthoseintendedcould
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
resultinpersonalinjury.
Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packsmaycreateariskofinjuryandre.
3. 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.
4. 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
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied.Damagedormodiedbatteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re,explosionorriskofinjury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature.Exposuretoreortem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outsidethespeciedrangemaydamagethe

Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
General chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a
reversedhandcongurationincreasestheriskof
personalinjuryandshouldneverbedone.
3. Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the chain
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 chain saw in a tree, on a lad-
der, from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation of a chain saw in this manner could
resultinseriouspersonalinjury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on xed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance or control of the
chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
woodbresisreleased,thespringloadedlimb
may strike the operator and/or throw the chain
saw out of control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chainandbewhippedtowardyouorpullyouo
balance.
9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
the chain saw switched o and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain
saw, always t the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain 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.
14 ENGLISH
11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chainsawforoperationsdierentthanintended
could result in a hazardous situation.
12. Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them.Seriousinjurycouldoccurtotheoperatoror
bystanders while felling a tree.
13. 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 chain saw
user, you should take several steps to keep your
cuttingjobsfreefromaccidentorinjury.
Kickback is the result of chain 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
ngers encircling the chain 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 chain
saw.
►Fig.1
• Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
tended tip contact and enables better control
of the chain 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 manufacturers sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
14. Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is o and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the
chainsawwhileclearingjammedmaterialor
servicingmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

OPERATION
Lubrication
CAUTION: Do not operate the chain saw 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 con-
tains 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 chain saw 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 mechanism. 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 com-
pletely emptied, 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 chain saws 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.22: 1. Oil tank cap 2. Oil inspection window
Tolltheoil,performthefollowingsteps:

Working with the chain saw
CAUTION: The rst time user should, as a
minimum practice, do cutting logs on a saw-horse
or cradle.
CAUTION: When sawing precut timber, use a
safe support (saw horse or cradle). Do not steady
the workpiece with your foot, and do not allow
anyone else to hold or steady it.
CAUTION: Secure round pieces against
rotation.
CAUTION: Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the motor is operating.
CAUTION: Hold the chain saw rmly with
both hands when the motor is running.
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.
Bring the bottom edge of the chain saw body into
contact with the branch to be cut before switching on.
Otherwise it may cause the guide bar to wobble, result-
ingininjurytooperator.Sawthewoodtobecutbyjust
moving it down by using the weight of the chain saw.
►Fig.26
If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single
stroke:
Apply light pressure to the handle and continue sawing
and draw the chain saw back a little; then apply the
spikebumperalittlelowerandnishthecutbyraising
the handle.
►Fig.27
Bucking
1. Rest the bottom edge of the chain saw body on
the wood to be cut.
►Fig.28
2. With the saw chain running, saw into the wood
while using the rear handle to raise the saw and the
front one to guide it. Use the spike bumper as a pivot.
3. Continue the cut by applying slight pressure to
the front handle, easing the saw back slightly. Move
the spike bumper further down the timber and raise the
front handle again.
NOTICE: When making several cuts, switch the
chain saw o between cuts.
CAUTION: If the upper edge of the bar is used
for cutting, the chain saw may be deected in
your direction if the chain becomes trapped. For
this reason, cut with the lower edge, so that the
saw will be deected away from your body.
►Fig.29
When you cut a wood under tension, cut the pressured
side(A)rst.Thenmakethenalcutfromthetensioned
side (B). This prevents the bar from becoming trapped.
►Fig.30
Limbing
CAUTION: Limbing may only be performed by
trained persons. A hazard is presented by the risk
of kickback.
When limbing, support the chain saw on the trunk if
possible. Do not cut with the tip of the bar, as this pres-
ents a risk of kickback.
Pay particular attention to branches under tension. Do
not cut unsupported branches from below.
Do not stand on the felled trunk when limbing.
Burrowing and parallel-to-grain cuts
CAUTION: Burrowing and parallel-to-grain
cuts may only be carried out by persons with
special training. The possibility of kickback presents
ariskofinjury.
Perform parallel-to-grain cuts at as shallow an angle as
possible. Take an extra caution when carrying out the
cut as the spike bumper cannot be used.
►Fig.31
Felling
CAUTION: Felling work may only be per-
formed by trained persons. The work is hazardous.
Observe local regulations if you wish to fell a tree.
►Fig.32: 1. Felling area
Before starting felling work, ensure that:
• Onlypersonsinvolvedinthefellingoperation
are in the vicinity;
• Anypersoninvolvedhasanunhinderedpath
