MOUNTING OF HANDLE
– Fix a barrier to the left side of the machine together with the
handle for operator's protection.
– Do not adjust position of the loop handle too close to the control
grip. Keep not less than 25cm distance between the handle
and the grip.
(a distance collar is provided for this purpose.)
MOUNTING OF PROTECTOR
To meet the applicable safety provisions, only the tool/protector
combinations as indicated in the table must be used. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death to user or bystanders.
Be sure to use genuine MAKITA cutter blade or nylon
cutting head.
– The cutter blade must be well clean, sharp and free of cracks
or breakage.
If the cutter blade contacts any hard objects or stones during
operation, stop the engine and check the blade immediately.
– Clean and sharpen or replace the cutter blade at least every
three hours of operation.
– The outside diameter of the cutter blade must not exceed 255
mm (10-1/32"). Never use any blades surpassing 255 mm (10-
1/32") in outside diameter.
CAUTION : The appropriate guard must always be in-
stalled, for your own safety and in order to
comply with accident-prevention regulations.
Operation of the equipment without the
protector being properly in place must never
be attempted.
– Fix protector to a gear case by 4 bolts firmly
Never use a blush cutter without a protector or with a broken
protector.
MOUNTING OF CUTTER BLADE OR
NYLON CUTTING HEAD
Turn the machine upside down, and you can replace the cutter
blade or nylon cutting head easily.
Mounting of cutter blade
– Fit a cutting blade and other parts in the order as in the illustra-
tion. Thrust a bar or allen wrench into a hole of the gear case
until the cutting blade is locked and will not turn. Tighten a nut
by turning to counter-clockwise with a combination wrench.
(Note that the nut is tightened or loosened in the opposit
direction of a usual nut.)
– The nut must be re-tightened every time before use.
– For this brush cutter, we recommend the cutting attachments on
the right.
– Never attempt to cut a tree, a log, wood or other hard materials.
[Tightening torque: 28 – 48 N m]
NOTE : Always wear gloves when handling the cutter
blade.
Mounting of nylon cutting head
– The blade cap, bolt cover and nut are not necessary for
mounting the nylon cutting head. The nylon cutting head should
go on top of the grass cover.
– Insert the allen wrench through the hole in the gear case and
rotate the blade holder until it is locked with the alln wrench.
– Then screw the nylon cutting head onto the shaft by turning it
counter-clockwise.
– Remove the allen wrench.
