Maintenance
1.
Have your machine serviced by our
authorized service center using only
identical replacement parts. Use only
identical spare parts and accessories
supplied by MAKITA. Incorrect repair and
poor maintenance can shorten the life of the
machine and increase the risk of accidents.

serious injury.

After use, clean the machine and check
all screws and nuts for tightness.

cutting tool guard and shoulder harness.
The cutting blade must be sharp. Never
straighten or weld damaged cutting
tools.

Do not prop the machine against some-
thing, such as a wall. Otherwise it may fall
suddenly and cause an injury.
