Maintenance

- Before performing maintenance work switch off the Power

Cut (27) and pull out the plug cap.

- Always check the Power Cut before using it to make sure that

it is in good working order. In particular, make sure that the

cutting disc is properly mounted. Make sure that the cutting

wheel is undamaged and suitable for the job it will be used

for.

- Operate the Power Cut only at a low noise and emission level.

For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly.

- Clean the Power Cut regularly.

- Check the fuel tank cap regularly for good sealing.

Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by

trade associations and insurance companies. NEVER

make any modiÞ cations to the Power Cut! You will only

be putting your own safety at risk!

Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in

the instruction manual. All other work must be carried out by

MAKITA Service.

Use only original MAKITA spares and accessories.

The use of non-MAKITA spares, accessories, or cutting discs

increases the risk of accident. We cannot accept any respon-

sibility for accidents or damage occurring in association with

the use of cutting discs or accessories other than original

MAKITA.
