NOTE:
• When replacing the chip receiver, always wear gloves
so that hands and face does not directly contact the
blade. Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
• Always be sure to remove the blade cover before
installing the chip receiver.
• The chip receiver receives cut-off leaves and alleviates
collecting thrown-away leaves. This can be installed on
either side of the tool. (Fig. 15 & 16)
At this time, the chip receiver needs to be installed so that
its hooks fit into grooves in the shear blade unit. (Fig. 17)
To remove the chip receiver, press its lever on both sides
so that the hooks are unlocked.
CAUTION:
• The blade cover (standard equipment) cannot be
installed on the tool with the chip receiver being
installed. Before carrying or storing, uninstall the chip
receiver and then install the blade cover to avoid blade
exposure.
NOTE:
• Check the chip receiver for secure installment before
use.
• Never try to uninstall the chip receiver by an excessive
force with its hooks locked in the blade unit grooves.
Using the excessive force may damage it.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
Cleaning the tool
Clean out the tool by wiping off dust with a dry or soap-
dipped rag.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Blade maintenance
Smear the blade before and once per half an hour during
operation using machine oil or similars.
After operation, remove dust from both sides of the blade
with wired brush, wipe off it with a rag and then apply
enough low-viscosity oil, such as machine oil etc. and
spray-type lubricating oil.
CAUTION:
• Do not wash the blades in water. Failure to do so may
cause rust or damage on the tool.
• Wear gloves when performing the blade maintenance.
Storage
Put the blade cover on the shear blades so that the blades
are not exposed. Store the tool out of the reach of children
carefully.
Store the tool in the place not exposed to water and rain.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN62841-4-2:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 2.1 dB (A)
• The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared noise emission value(s) may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• Wear ear protection.
• The noise emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared value(s)
depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN62841-4-2:
Work mode: hedge trimming
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared value(s)
