Tool / battery protection system
NOTICE:
Depending on the usage conditions,
the tool automatically stops without any indica-
tion if the branches or debris are entangled in the
tool. In this case, switch off the tool and remove
the battery cartridge, and then remove entangled
branches or debris using tools such as pliers.
After removing the branches or debris, install the
battery cartridge and turn on the tool again.
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:

Overload protection
When the tool or battery is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
automatically stops. In this situation, turn the tool off
and stop the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, let the tool and battery cool
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
Protections against other causes
Protection system is also designed for other causes
that could damage the tool and allows the tool to stop
automatically. Take all the following steps to clear the
causes, when the tool has been brought to a temporary
halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the tool off, and then turn it on again to
restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the machine and battery(ies) cool down.
If no improvement can be found by restoring protection
system, then contact your local Makita Service Center.

Switch action
WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is
equipped with switch lever which prevents the
tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool
if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger
without pressing the switch lever. Return the tool
to our authorized service center for proper repairs
BEFORE further usage.
WARNING:
NEVER tape down or defeat pur-
pose and function of switch lever.
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge on the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger and switch lever actuate properly
and return to the "OFF" position when released.
Operating a tool with a switch that does not actuate
properly can lead to loss of control and serious per-
sonal injury.
