IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Your MAKITA engine has been adjusted at the factory for optimum performance and fuel consumption, and no fur-
ther adjustment is required.
Due to varying atmospheric and climatic conditions, however, you may need some minor adjustment for your area.
Checking the idle-speed
The idle-speed should be set to 2,800 – 3,300 rpm. If necessary, adjust the idle-speed using with a tachometer to insure the proper idle-speed. Note that
the cutting blade or the nylon cutting head must not turn when the engine is on idle.
Adjusting the idle rpm. Can be done by turning the idle-speed screw (A) clockwise ( for increasing the engine speed ) or counterclockwise ( for decreasing
the engine speed ).
If the engine does not idle properly after the adjustment, contact your nearest Makita dealer for service.
RE-SHARPENING THE CUTTING TOOL
CAUTION :
The cutting blades mentioned below should only be re-sharpened by an authorized facility. Manual re-sharpening
will result in imbalances of the blade causing abnormal vibrations and damage to the machine.
- Cutter Blade : star blade ( 4 teeth ), eddy blade ( 8 teeth )
An expert service for re-sharpening and balancing is provided by Authorized Service Agents.
NOTE :
To increase the service life of the above cutter blade, it may be turned over once until both cutting edges have
