Remember to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita XUX02SM1X4 is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Then, use the lever - style lock system to attach the string trimmer or pole saw attachment. When using the string trimmer, you can control the cutting speed with the variable - speed trigger. For the pole saw, it's great for reaching high branches. Just hold it steady and guide it along the branch you want to cut. When it comes to the high/low speed button, use the high speed for tough jobs and the low speed for better battery life. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to avoid damage to the tool. The tool has Star Protection Computer Controls™, but still don't overload it or let it overheat. Also, be careful in wet or dusty conditions, although the XPT™ technology helps protect the tool. For maintenance, after each use, clean the attachments and the power head. Check the chain on the pole saw regularly and make sure it's properly tensioned. Store the tool in a dry place when not in use. And don't forget, the tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, you're covered.
