OPERATION
Correct handling of tool
Correct posture (Fig. 18)
WARNING:
• Always position the tool on your right-hand side.
Correct positioning of the tool allows for maximum
control and will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury caused by kickback.
• Be extremely careful to maintain control of the tool
at all times. Do not allow the tool to be deflected
toward you or anyone in the work vicinity. Failure to
keep control of the tool could result in serious injury to
the bystander and the operator.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance on the tool.
Failure to switch off and remove the battery cartridge
may result in serious personal injury from accidental
start-up.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing the nylon cord
WARNING:
• Never use metal wire, rope or the like. Use
recommended nylon cord only, otherwise it may cause
damage to the tool and result in serious personal injury.
• Make sure that the cover of the nylon cutting head
is secured to the housing properly as described
below. Failure to properly secure the cover may cause
the nylon cutting head to fly apart resulting in serious
personal injury.
Take off cover from housing, pressing two latches which
are slotted section oppositely on side of housing. (Fig. 19)
Cut a nylon line in 3 m. Fold the cutting line in two halves,
leave one of half longer 80-100 mm than another.
(Fig. 20)
Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch
located at the center of the spool between the 2 channels
provided for the nylon cord.
Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction
marked on the head for right hand direction indicated by
RH. (Fig. 21)
Wind all but about 100 mm of the cords, leaving the ends
temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of the
spool. (Fig. 22)
Mount the spool on the cover so that the grooves and
protrusions on the spool match up with those on the
cover. Now, unhook the ends of the cord from their
temporary position and feed the cords through the eyelets
to come out of the cover. (Fig. 23)
Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with the
slots of the eyelets. Then push the cover firmly onto the
housing to secure it. Make sure the latches fully spread in
the cover. (Fig. 24)
Replacing the blade for plastic blade
(Fig. 25)
Replace the blade when it is worn out or broken.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Before asking for repairs, conduct your own inspection
first. If you find a problem that is not explained in the

Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts for repairs.
