• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the
"E") blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,
the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not
operate. In these cases, charge the battery or replace
the empty battery with a fully charged one.
• When two or more indicator lamps do not light even
after charging is complete, the battery has reached the
end of its service life.
• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps light
alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.
Contact your local Makita authorized service center.

Power switch action
WARNING:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge in the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released. Do not pull the switch
trigger hard without pressing in the lock-off button.
This can cause switch breakage. Operating a tool
with a switch that does not actuate properly can lead to
loss of control and serious personal injury. (Fig. 5)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, press in the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger. The tool speed is increased by increasing
pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger
to stop.
Reversing switch for debris removal
(Fig. 6)
This tool has a reversing switch. To remove a branch
caught in the blades, depress the "B" side of the switch to
reverse the rotation. For normal operation, depress the
"A" side of the switch.
In the reverse position the tool operates only for a short
period of time and automatically shuts off.
NOTICE:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage it.
Speed change (Fig. 7)
Two speed ranges can be preselected with the speed
change switch.
Flipping the speed change switch lever to the "1" position
will set the tool to the low speed range and the "2" position
will set the tool to the high speed range.
Action to be taken
Replace the battery with fully charged
one.
Replace the battery with fully charged

center for repairs.
