General Power Tool Safety
Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.

Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.

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

atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable 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

4. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an

GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

10. 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

11. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

12. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools

3

with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

13. 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.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

16. 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.

Power tool use and care

17. 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.

18. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.

19. Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

20. Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children 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.

21. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

23. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

24. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.

25. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

26. 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

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery

may cause irritation or burns.

Service

28. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

29. Follow instruction for lubricating and

changing accessories.

30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

GEB071-6

Cordless 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 configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.

3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a

"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.

4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate

4

protective clothing will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the saw
chain.

5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation

of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.

6. Always keep proper footing and operate the

chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable

surfaces such as ladders 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 fibres 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
off balance.

9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with

the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the
chain saw always fit 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 accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.

11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.

12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for

purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain

saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

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 tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:

− Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and
fingers 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
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the
chain saw.

011443

− Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent

unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.

− Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect

replacement bars and 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.

14. Before starting work, check that the chain saw is
in proper working order and that its condition
complies with the safety regulations. Check in
particular that:

• The chain brake is working properly;

• The run-down brake is working properly;

• The bar and the sprocket cover are fitted

correctly;

• The chain has been sharpened and tensioned

in accordance with the regulations;

15. Do not start the chain saw with the chain
cover being installed on it. Starting the chain
saw with the chain cover being installed on it may
cause the chain cover to thrown out forward
resulting in personal injury and damage to objects
around the operator.

008571

Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation.
Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil tank
through the oil inspection window.
To refill the tank, remove the cap from the oil tank
opening. The oil tank capacity is 80 ml.
After refilling the tank, always screw the provided oil
tank cap on the chain saw.

CAUTION:

• When filling the chain saw with chain oil for the

first time, or refilling the tank after it has been
completely emptied, add oil up to the bottom edge
of the filler neck. The oil delivery may otherwise be
impaired.

• As a saw chain oil, use oil exclusively for Makita

chain saws or oil available in market.

• Never use oil including dust and particles or

volatile oil.

• When pruning trees, use botanical oil. Mineral oil

may harm trees.

• Never force the chain saw when pruning trees.

• Before cutting out, make sure that the provided oil

tank cap is screwed in place.
Hold the chain saw away from the tree. Start it and wait
until lubrication on saw chain is adequate.
Bring the tip guide/lower guide into contact with the
branch to be cut before switching on. Cutting without
bringing the tip guide/lower guide into contact with the
branch may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting in
injury to operator.
Saw the wood to be cut by just moving it down.

Pruning trees

CAUTION:

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw

chain when the motor is operating.

• Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when

the motor is running.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

013647

Always remove the battery cartridge from the tool and
overlap the guide bar with the scabbard before carrying
the tool. Also cover the battery cartridge with the battery
cover.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.

• Always wear gloves when performing any

inspection or maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or

the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.

Sharpening the saw chain

CAUTION:

• Always remove the battery cartridge and wear

safety gloves when performing work on the saw
chain.

008633

Sharpen the saw chain when:

− Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is
cut;

− The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty, even
when heavy pressure is applied;

− The cutting edge is obviously damaged;

− The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood. The

reason for this behaviour is uneven sharpening of
the saw chain, or damage to one side only.

Sharpen the saw chain frequently, but remove only
a little material each time.

Two or three strokes with a file are usually sufficient for
routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been
resharpened several times, have it sharpened in a
MAKITA specialist repair shop.

File and file guiding

− Use a special round file (optional accessory) for
saw chains, with a diameter of 4 mm, to sharpen
the chain. Normal round files are not suitable.

1. Battery cartridge

2. Scabbard (chain
cover)

11

006927

− The file should only engage the material on the
forward stroke. Lift the file off the material on the
return stroke.

− Sharpen the shortest cutter first. The length of this
cutter is then the gauge dimension for all other
cutters on the saw chain.

− Guide the file as shown in the figure.

− The file can be guided more easily if a file holder

(accessory) is employed. The file holder has
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 file
diameter).

Guide the file as shown in the figure.

− After sharpening the chain, check the height of the
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional
accessory).

006929

− Remove any projecting material, however small,
with a special flat file (optional accessory).

− Round off the front of the depth gauge again.

− Wash away dust and particles from saw chain

after adjusting the height of depth gauge.

Cleaning guide bar

008578

Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove,
clogging it and impairing oil flow. Always clean out the

chips and sawdust when sharpening or replacing the
saw chain.

Cleaning the oil filter at the oil discharge hole

Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil filter at
the oil discharge hole during operation.
Small dust or particles built up in the oil filter may impair
the oil discharge flow and cause an insufficient
lubrication on the whole saw chain.
When a poor chain oil delivery occurs at the top of
guide bar, clean the filter as follows.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from the tool.

Consignes de sécurité générales
pour outils électriques

MISE EN GARDE Veuillez lire toutes les mises

en garde de sécurité et toutes les instructions.

L'ignorance des mises en garde et des instructions
comporte un risque de choc électrique, d'incendie et/ou
de blessure grave.

Conservez toutes les mises en
garde et instructions pour
référence future.

Le terme ≪ outil électrique ≫ qui figure dans les
avertissements fait référence à un outil électrique
branché sur une prise de courant (par un cordon
d'alimentation) ou alimenté par batterie (sans fil).

Sécurité de la zone de travail

1. Maintenez la zone de travail propre et bien
éclairée. Les zones de travail encombrées ou

sombres ouvrent grande la porte aux accidents.

2. N'utilisez pas les outils électriques dans les

atmosphères explosives, par exemple en
présence de liquides, gaz ou poussières
inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent

des étincelles au contact desquelles la poussière
ou les vapeurs peuvent s'enflammer.

3. Assurez-vous qu'aucun enfant ou curieux ne

s'approche pendant que vous utilisez un outil
électrique. Vous risquez de perdre la maîtrise de

l'outil si votre attention est détournée.

Sécurité en matière d'électricité

4. Les fiches d'outil électrique sont conçues
pour s'adapter parfaitement aux prises de
courant. Ne modifiez jamais la fiche de
quelque façon que ce soit. N'utilisez aucun
adaptateur de fiche sur les outils électriques
avec mise à la terre. En ne modifiant pas les

fiches et en les insérant dans des prises de
courant pour lesquelles elles ont été conçues
vous réduirez les risques de choc électrique.

5. Évitez tout contact corporel avec les surfaces

mises à la terre, telles que les tuyaux,
radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Le

risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre
corps se trouve mis à la terre.

6. N'exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie
ou à l'eau. La présence d'eau dans un outil
électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

7. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. N'utilisez jamais

le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou
débrancher l'outil électrique. Maintenez le
cordon à l'écart des sources de chaleur, de
l'huile, des objets à bords tranchants et des
pièces en mouvement. Le risque de choc

électrique est plus élevé lorsque les cordons sont
endommagés ou enchevêtrés.

8. Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à

l'extérieur, utilisez un cordon prolongateur
prévu à cette fin. Les risques de choc électrique

sont moindres lorsqu'un cordon conçu pour
l'extérieur est utilisé.
