OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Charging (Fig. 1 & 2)

Charge the battery 4600 with the Makita charger DC4600 before use. Plug the charger into the power receptacle and connect the charging plug into the charging connector on the battery. Press the start button (red) on the charger. The charging light will come on and charging will begin. When the charging light goes out after about one hour, the charging will be completed. If the charging light goes out within one minute after pressing the start button, the battery is dead. Replace it with a new one. After charging, disconnect the charging plug from the battery and power receptacle.

CAUTION:

• Remove the controller from the battery when charging.
• Do not keep the start button depressed with tape, etc. The circuit will not function properly and a malfunction of the charger may result.

• Use only Makita charger DC4600 to charge the battery 4600. The use of any other chargers may cause damage to the battery.

• When you charge a new battery or a battery which has not been used for a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery fully after discharging it completely a couple of times.

Overcurrent relay (Fig. 2)

The overcurrent relay is built into the battery to prevent a battery short-circuit. When the overcurrent relay actuates, the battery cannot be used. Press the restart button on the battery to use it again. If the overcurrent relay actuates frequently, there may be something wrong with the battery, charger, controller or shears themselves. Send them to your dealer or a Makita Service Center to have them inspected and/or repaired.

Installing controller on battery (Fig. 3 & 4)

First, make sure that the controller is switched off. Install the controller on the battery and fasten it with the buckles.

Connecting connection cord to controller

Connect the male plug of the connection cord to the controller connector and turn the screw clockwise to secure the male plug in place.

Putting battery into waist belt pocket (Fig. 5 & 6)

After installing the controller on the battery, put the battery with the controller into your waist belt pocket so that the controller connector will point toward your hand with which you operate the shears. Then cover the battery with the pocket lid to keep them from accidentally falling out of your pocket during operation.

Wearing waist belt (Fig. 6)

Attach a pair of suspenders on the waist belt. Wear the waist belt and adjust the length of suspenders and waist belt so that the battery will be positioned on your back at waist height.

Installing holster (Fig. 7)

Install the holster on the waist belt as shown in Fig. 7. It should be positioned on the side where your hand operates the shears.

Wearing arm band (Fig. 8)

Attach the arm band to your arm. When wearing it, slip the connection cord through the arm band as shown in Fig. 8 to keep it out of the way.

Connecting connection cord to shears (Fig. 9)

Connect the female plug of the connection cord to the shear connector and turn the screw clockwise to secure the female plug in place.

NOTE:

If you connect or disconnect the connection cord with the controller switched on, the pilot lamp will blink red and green alternately. When this occurs, the shears will not start even if you pull the switch trigger. Switch off the controller and then switch it on again to start the shears. (Fig. 4)

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before connecting the battery to the shears, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
• Do not pull the switch trigger without depressing the lock-off lever. It can cause switch breakage.

Switch on the controller by pressing the upper (I) side of the switch. The pilot lamp will start to blink green. Then pull the switch trigger and release it once. The upper shear blade will start to move up as soon as you release the switch trigger and will stop at the highest (wide open) position. In case that the upper shear blade has already opened, it will keep that position with the first trigger operation. The pilot lamp will remain green continuously. From the next trigger operation, you can cut branches. (Fig. 4)

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the shears, depress the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. To stop the shears, release the switch trigger. (Fig. 10)

When the switch trigger is pulled and held, the upper shear blade will move down and stop at the closed position. When the switch trigger is released, the upper shear blade will move up and stop at the highest (wide open) position. (Fig. 11)

Putting shears in holster (Fig. 12)

Switch off the controller by pressing the lower (O) side of the switch while keeping the switch trigger pulled. The upper shear blade will stop at the closed position. Put the shears in the holster with the upper shear blade at the closed position.

Pruning operation (Fig. 13)

CAUTION:

• Never operate the shears in an awkward posture. This may cause a serious injury.
• Never hold the branch you are pruning with your free hand. Keep your free hand away from the cutting area. The blades are very sharp and you may cut yourself.

Cut branches one by one as shown in Fig. 13. The maximum thickness of branches which can be cut with these shears is about 30mm . Maintain your proper footing and balance at all times.

After use, switch off the controller and disconnect the connection cord from the shears and the controller. Store the shears in dry, high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.

Overload protecting mechanism

Both the shears and the controller are equipped with an overload protecting mechanism. If the motor is locked for more than three seconds, this mechanism will actuate to stop the shears. Also, the pilot lamp on the controller will start to blink red and green alternately. To resume operation, switch off the controller by pressing the lower (O) side of the switch, then switch it on again.

NOTE:

Do not operate the shears in such a way that this mechanism actuates frequently. The motor may be damaged.

Pilot lamp on controller (Fig. 4)

The pilot lamp will start to blink or remain green when the controller is switched on (the upper (I) side of the switch is pressed). If the pilot lamp indicates the following conditions, proceed as follows.

1. If the pilot lamp blinks red and green alternately, the overload protecting mechanism has been actuated or the connection cord is not firmly connected. Switch off the controller and do the following:

a) If the motor is locked for more than three seconds, just switch on the controller.
b) If the connection cord is not connected firmly, connect the connection cord firmly and then switch on the controller.

1. If the pilot lamp blinks red, the inside of the controller is too hot. Switch off the controller and wait for a while to cool it down. Then switch it on.
2. If the pilot lamp remains red continuously, the battery voltage is too low. Charge the battery.
3. If the pilot lamp is neither green or red:

a) The battery is completely discharged. Charge the battery.
b) The overcurrent relay has actuated. Press the restart button.

If the pilot lamp does not start to blink green even after you perform the above procedures, there is something wrong with the shears, connection cord, controller or battery. Switch off the controller and disconnect the connection cord from the shears and the controller. Remove the controller from the battery. Send the shears, connection cord, controller and battery to your dealer or a Makita Service Center to have them inspected and/or repaired.

Replacing shear blades

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the controller is switched off and the connection cord is disconnected from the shears.

The shear blades can be replaced irrespective of the upper shear blade position.

Use the hex wrench provided to remove the two hex socket head bolts which secure the blade cover.

(Fig. 14)

Remove the blade cover. (Fig. 15)

Use the socket wrench provided to remove the hex lock nut. The flat washer will come off together with the hex lock nut. (Fig. 16)

Remove the round head bolt, blade holder and upper shear blade. (Fig. 17)

Remove the upper shear blade from the blade holder. Be careful not to allow any foreign matter to attach to the magnet on the blade holder and do not damage it. (Fig. 18)

Use the hex wrench provided to remove the two hex socket head bolts which secure the lower shear blade. Then remove the lower shear blade. (Fig. 19) To install the shear blades, follow the removal procedures in reverse. Do not remove grease around the gear.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the controller is switched off and the connection cord is disconnected from the shears.

Blade maintenance (Fig. 20 & 21)

NOTE:

Before and after operation, check the shear blades carefully.

After operation, clean off the blades with a stiff brush. Then wipe the blades with a cloth and coat them with machine oil.

CAUTION:

Failure to perform blade maintenance may cause excessive blade friction and shorten the operating time per battery charge.

Sharpening blades

Upper shear blade

Apply the flat surface of the diamond file to the blade edge. Push the diamond file in the direction of the arrow to sharpen along the entire blade edge. Maintain the same flat contact with the file consistently along the entire blade edge. (Fig. 22)

Apply the flat surface of the diamond file lightly to the reverse side of the blade. Move the diamond file in the direction of the arrow to remove burrs. (Fig. 23)

Lower shear blade

Apply the round surface of the diamond file to the blade edge. Push the diamond file in the direction of the arrow to sharpen along the entire blade edge. (Fig. 24)

Apply the flat surface of the diamond file lightly to the opposite side of the blade. Move the diamond file in the direction of the arrow to remove burrs. (Fig. 25)
