Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble, attach the desired cutting head to the motor housing or the extension pole using the quick-lock collar. Ensure the chain oil reservoir is filled with high-quality bar and chain oil before the first use. Regarding compatibility, the unit accepts the included 4000mAh batteries as well as standard Makita 18V LXT batteries. To care for your tool, always clean sawdust from the sprocket area after each session, check the chain tension before starting, and store the tool in a dry environment with batteries removed. Periodically inspect the chain teeth for sharpness and sharpen them if the saw begins to pull or produce fine dust instead of chips.
