FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conduc-
tive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use dropped or struck battery.
10. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal
of battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
installing or removing battery cartridge.
ENC007-8 Failure to hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly
may cause them to slip off your hands and result in
damage to the tool and battery cartridge and a per-
sonal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the car-
tridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
Checking the chain brake (Fig. 3)
NOTE:
• If the chain saw fails to start, the chain brake must be
released. Pull the front hand guard backwards firmly
until you feel it engage.
Hold the chain saw with both hands when switching it on.
Hold the top handle with your right hand, the front handle
with your left. The bar and the chain must not be in con-
tact with any object.
First press the lock-off button, then the switch trigger.
The saw chain starts immediately.
Press the front hand guard forwards using the back of
your hand. The saw chain must come to an immediate
standstill.
CAUTION:
• Should the saw chain not stop immediately when this
test is performed, the saw may not be used under any
circumstances. Consult a MAKITA specialist repair shop.
Checking the run-down brake
Switch on the chain saw.
Release the switch trigger completely. The saw chain
must come to a standstill within one second.
CAUTION:
• Should the saw chain not come to a stop within one
second when this test is performed, the saw must not
be used. Consult a MAKITA specialist repair shop.
Adjusting the chain lubrication (Fig. 4)
You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting
screw. The amount of oil can be adjusted using the uni-
versal wrench.
