Applications for cutting tools

  Use  the  cutting  tools  to  perform  the  work  de-

scribed below only! Other applications are not 

permitted.

2-line trimmer head

Exclusively for cutting along walls, fences, grass edges, trees, 

posts, etc. (supplementing the lawn mower).

4-tooth star blade

For cutting grass or thick weeds. Perform this cutting work by 

swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from left to right 

(similar to a scythe).

Transport

  When transporting the equipment or moving to 

another working location, the brushcutter must 

be switched off in order to avoid unintentionally 

starting the cutting tool.

Never drag the brushcutter behind you and ne-

ver drop it 

(except in case of emergency)

. Do not 

throw the brushcutter in order to load it onto the 

transport vehicle! 

If the brushcutter is subject to sudden jolts, it 

must be checked for signs of leaking fuel (risk 

of fire or explosion!).

Never transport the brushcutter with the cutting 

tool still running!

•  The transport safety device included in the scope of delivery 

must  always  be  fitted  whenever  the  brushcutter  is  being 

transported over longer distances.

•  When transporting the brushcutter in the vehicle, make sure 

that the brushcutter is safely secured. Empty the fuel tank 

before transporting the brushcutter.

•  Before shipping the brushcutter, completely empty the fuel 

tank.

Storage

•  The brushcutter must be safely stored in a dry room. Use 

the transport safety device for metal cutting tools. Keep the 

brushcutter out of reach of children.

•  Following a longer storage period, have an authorized MAKITA 

service center perform a thorough maintenance check and 

a complete inspection of the brushcutter.

•  Prior to a longer storage period of the brushcutter, the fuel 

tank must be completely emptied and the carburetor run dry. 

Fuels may only be stored for a limited period of time and could 

cause deposits to form in the tank or in the carburetor.

•  Fuel remaining in reserve canisters should be used for other 

engines or be disposed of properly.
