SERVICE
Maintenance
- Before performing maintenance work switch off the Power
Cut (27) and pull out the plug cap.
-
Allow the Power Cut to cool off before doing any mainte-
nance work (burn hazard)!
- 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.
- Do not operate the Power Cut with a defective or modied
mufer.
- 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 modications 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.
