ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
BATTERY-POWERED PRUNING SHEARS
1. This machine is for pruning branches. Do not
use it for any job except that for which it is
intended.
2. Don't use the machine or perform battery
charging operations in the rain.
3. Don't leave the machine in rain or wet loca-
tions.
4. Keep bystanders well away from your work
area.
5. Be careful not to catch foreign matter between
the blades. If the blades are jammed with
foreign matter, immediately switch off the
machine and disconnect the battery from the
machine. Then remove the foreign matter from
the blades.
6. Never hold the branch you are pruning with
your free hand. Keep your free hand away
from the cutting area. Never touch the blades,
they are very sharp and you may cut yourself.
7. Don't force the machine to make it cut. You
could slip and injure yourself or cut something
else unintentionally.
8. Avoid cutting electrical wires that may be
hidden.
9. Always check the blades carefully before
operation.
10. Handle the blades with extreme care to pre-
vent cuts or injury from the blades.
11. Disconnect the battery from the machine after
each use and before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
12. When not in use, always keep the machine in
its holster.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Charging (Fig. 1 & 2)
Charge the battery 4600 with the Makita charger
DC4600 before use. Plug the charger into the power
receptacle and connect the charging plug into the
charging connector on the battery. Press the start
button (red) on the charger. The charging light will
come on and charging will begin. When the charging
light goes out after about one hour, the charging will
be completed. If the charging light goes out within one
minute after pressing the start button, the battery is
dead. Replace it with a new one. After charging,
disconnect the charging plug from the battery and
power receptacle.
CAUTION:
• Remove the controller from the battery when charg-
ing.
• Do not keep the start button depressed with tape,
etc. The circuit will not function properly and a
malfunction of the charger may result.
• Use only Makita charger DC4600 to charge the
battery 4600. The use of any other chargers may
cause damage to the battery.

• When you charge a new battery or a battery which
has not been used for a long period, it may not
accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and
does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the
battery fully after discharging it completely a couple
of times.
Overcurrent relay (Fig. 2)
The overcurrent relay is built into the battery to
prevent a battery short-circuit. When the overcurrent
relay actuates, the battery cannot be used. Press the
restart button on the battery to use it again. If the
overcurrent relay actuates frequently, there may be
something wrong with the battery, charger, controller
or shears themselves. Send them to your dealer or a
Makita Service Center to have them inspected and/or
repaired.
Installing controller on battery (Fig. 3 & 4)
First, make sure that the controller is switched off.
Install the controller on the battery and fasten it with
the buckles.
Connecting connection cord to controller
Connect the male plug of the connection cord to the
controller connector and turn the screw clockwise to
secure the male plug in place.
Putting battery into waist belt pocket
(Fig. 5 & 6)
After installing the controller on the battery, put the
battery with the controller into your waist belt pocket
so that the controller connector will point toward your
hand with which you operate the shears. Then cover
the battery with the pocket lid to keep them from
accidentally falling out of your pocket during opera-
tion.
Wearing waist belt (Fig. 6)
Attach a pair of suspenders on the waist belt. Wear
the waist belt and adjust the lengh of suspenders and
waist belt so that the battery will be positioned on your
back at waist height.
Installing holster (Fig. 7)
Install the holster on the waist belt as shown in Fig. 7.
It should be positioned on the side where your hand
operates the shears.
Wearing arm band (Fig. 8)
Attach the arm band to your arm. When wearing it,
slip the connection cord through the arm band as
shown in Fig. 8 to keep it out of the way.
Connecting connection cord to shears
(Fig. 9)
Connect the female plug of the connection cord to the
shear connector and turn the screw clockwise to
secure the female plug in place.
