FAQs
What battery type does the Makita UP100DZ use?
The UP100DZ is powered by Makita's 12V Max Li-ion CXT slide battery system. The battery and charger are sold separately.
What is the maximum cutting capacity of these pruning shears?
The maximum cutting capacity is 25mm, suitable for branches up to this diameter.
How do I adjust the blade opening angle?
You can electronically adjust the blade opening angle using the dedicated control buttons on the main housing. There are two settings: fully open (25mm) and half open (18mm).
How is maintenance performed, specifically lubrication?
Lubrication is simplified through an external oil port. Inject oil directly into this port without needing to disassemble the blades.
What does the LED indicator on the front show?
The LED indicator provides status information, including power on, battery capacity warnings, and error indications such as a missing battery, thermal protection activation, or overload.
What is the warranty period for the Makita UP100DZ?
It comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, which can be extended to 3 years upon registration within 30 days of purchase. Note that using non-original parts voids the warranty.
Can I use any 12V battery with this tool?
No, it specifically requires Makita 12V Max Li-ion CXT slide batteries. Using other brands or types of batteries will void the warranty.
Troubleshooting
Shears do not power on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the LED indicator for battery status or error codes.
Blades are not cutting cleanly or are slow.
Lubricate the blades using the external oil port. Clean any sap or debris from the blades. Check and adjust blade overlap if necessary.
LED indicator shows an error code.
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. Common causes include overheating, overload, or missing battery. Allow the tool to cool or remove the obstruction.
Blade opening angle adjustment is not working.
Ensure the master switch is on. Check for any obstructions preventing blade movement. Try re-adjusting the blade overlap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible Makita 12V Max Li-ion CXT slide battery and charger (sold separately).

Care:

- Storage: Store the shears in a dry place, ideally with the blades protected.
- Blade Adjustment: Periodically check and adjust blade overlap if cutting performance degrades.
