Important: If the air filter is damaged replace it immediate-
ly! Torn-off fabric pieces and large dirt particles can
destroy the engine.
Cleaning the air filter
- Remove the air filter cover (I/15). Close the choke lever
(I/16) to prevent the entry of dust particles into the
carburetor.
- Remove the air filter (I/17) and clean it with a soft brush.
Caution:
To prevent eye injuries, do not blow out dirt particles.
- Very dirty filters can be cleaned out using regular
dishwashing liquid in lukewarm water.
- In case of strong pollution clean more often (several times
a day) because only a clean filter ensures full engine power.
- Before reinstalling the air filter check the choke valve for
dirt particles, and if necessary clean it out with a brush.
-Carefully dry the air filter and reinstall it.

Instructions for maintenance
Do not do any maintenance or servicing work not described in this Instruction Manual. All such work may be done only by a MAKITA
service station.
After refuelling the brushcutter 50 times, it should be given a thorough maintenance check and a complete inspection at a MAKITA
service centre.
Daily maintenance
Perfom the following work daily after use:
- Clean the outside of the brushcutter and inspect for damage.
- Clean the air filter (see below). Under dusty working conditions the air filter must be cleaned more often.
- Check the cutting tool for damage and make sure it is tight.
- Check to make sure that there is sufficient difference between the idle and engagement speed so that the cutting tool does not
turn when the engine is idling. If necessary, reduce the idle speed (see page 17). If the cutting tool still turns during idling, take
the brushcutter to a service center.
- Check the function of the safetylocking button, the short-circuiting switch and of the throttle lever (see page 16).
