ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR CHAIN SAW
1. Don't expose chain saw to rain. Don't use it in
damp or wet locations.
2. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands
when the motor is running.
3. Install saw chain properly according to this
instruction manual.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
5. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the motor is operating.
6. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
7. Switch off the chain saw immediately if you
notice anything abnormal in operation.
8. Carefully inspect the chain saw if you drop or
strike it against something hard.
9. When not in use, chain saws should be stored
in a dry, and high or locked-up place — out of
reach of children. When storing saw, use a
scabbard (chain cover).
10. Use safety glasses. Also use safety footwear;
snug fitting clothing; protective gloves; and
head protection.

loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the

Charging (Fig. 2)
Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use. Use the fast charger Model
DC1411 to charge the battery cartridge.
Plug the fast charger into the proper AC voltage source. The charging light will flash in green color. Insert the
battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their
respective markings on the fast charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port
floor. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging
will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging. When charging is completed, the charging
light color will change from red to green.
After charging, unplug the charger from the power source. Refer to the table below for the charging time.

CAUTION:
• The fast charger Model DC1411 is for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or
for other manufacturer's batteries.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of
time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can
recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or battery cartridge which has been left in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait
for a while. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you
remove the battery cartridge from the fast charger.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, a problem exists and charging is not possible.
The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or
damaged.
• If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between chargings on the fast charger.

12. Secure the workpiece so that it will not move
suddenly during operation. Be careful of cut-
off pieces. They may hit operator.
13. To prevent the saw chain from being pinched
in the cut, support the workpiece near the cut
using blocks or the like.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the
cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until
it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you
or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
