Makita EBH340R, Instruction Manual

11

MOUNTING OF HANDLE

– Fix the loop handle to the drive shaft by 2 bolts firmly.

– 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.

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.

– 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 the drive shaft by 2 bolts firmly.

Never use a blush cutter without a protector or with a broken
protector.

MOUNTING OF CUTTER BLADE

Turn the machine upside down, and you can replace the cutter
blade easily.

– Fit a cutting blade and other parts in the order as in the illustra-

tion.  Thrust a bar or alien 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.
