SAFETY PRECAUTIONS General precautions Proper use: These power brushcutters are intended for cutting grass or heavy weeds, with the appropriate and permissible cutting tools. A brushcutter may be operated only by one person, and only out of doors! Improper use: The cutting tools permissible for this brushcutter must not be used to cut heavier material such as shrubs, bushes, heavy growth, or thickets.
- Ensure that no fuel or chain oil oozes into the soil (environmental protection). Use an appropriate base. Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will accumulate near the floor (explosion hazard). Carefully tighten the locking screw of the fuel tank and inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals. Change the place before starting the engine (at least 3 meters from the place of refuelling) (6). Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time.
Kickback During operation the brushcutter can kickback in an uncontrolled manner. This can happen when the cutting blade (4tooth star blade) comes into contact with hard objects such as stumps, fenceposts, tree trunks, woody brush or large rocks. This can fling the brushcutter to one side with great force and speed (injury hazard). To avoid kickback, observe the following: - Remove foreign objects from the cutting area and be aware of plants and objects in the area.
Storage - The brushcutter must be safely stored in a dry room. Use the tool protection for metal cutting tools. Keep the brushcutter out of reach of children. - If the brushcutter is stored for a long period of time, it should be given a thorough maintenance check and a complete inspection at an authorized MAKITA service centre. - If the brushcutter is stored for a long period of time, the fuel tank should be completely emptied and the carburetor run dry.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION STOP CAUTION: When working on the brushcutter always be absolutely certain to switch off the engine, pull the spark plug cap and wear protective gloves! IMPORTANT: Do not start the brushcutter until fully assembled and inspected! Installing the handle (BCM2600, BCM3300, BCM4300) B A - Loosen screws (A/1) and unscrew about 1-2 mm. - - Push the grips (A/2) into the grip mounting, as shown in the illustration.
Installing the cutter guard Important: Safety regulations and your own safety make it imperative to use the right cutter guard with a given cutting tool! Warning: Use only the cutting tools shown here! It is not permitted to use other cutting tools as this can increase danger of accidents and cause damage to the equipment! Tool/guard combinations for the BCM2600 / BCM3300 / BCM4300 Cutting tool Cutter guard 4-tooth star blade: Part no. 362 224 140 Part no.
Mounting the 4-tooth star blade (BCM2600, BCM3300, BCM4300) Always switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug cap before mounting metal cutter blades! Wear protective gloves! - Remove floating disc (C/6) and thrust washer (C/5). - Insert the offset screwdriver 4 mm (C/1) through the winding guard and the locking disc into the opening (C/3) in the angular gear (block the winding gear). If necessary turn the mounting disc (C/3) slightly.
Adjusting the line - You can adjust the line to the right length at any time by lightly tapping the trimmer head against the ground (direction of arrow). The line cutter automatically cuts off excess line. However, this only works when at least 3 cm of line are visible at each end. E - If the line ends are shorter than 3 cm, it will be necessary to adjust the trimmer line manually. - To do this, push the button firmly and pull out the line ends forcefully.
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT! Fuel mixture Fuel 50:1 Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapours. Fuel vapours are poisonous and can be hazardous to your health. Avoid eye and skin contact with fuels and mineral oils. Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate.
Putting on the harness Balancing the brushcutter A B - Put on the harness as shown in figure A. - - Adjust it so that the clip is about a hand-width above your hipbone. Correctly balancing the brushcutter reduces strain on the arms while working. - When using the trimmer head on a level terrain, the trimmer head should touch the ground lightly without the user having to hold the unit.
Cold start F - Prime the fuel pump (G/5) by pressing it several times until you can see fuel in the pump. - Actuate the half-throttle lock by depressing the safety lock (F/3), pressing in the throttle (F/1) and moving the combination switch (F/2) into the START position. Then release throttle (F/1) and then the combination switch (F/2). - Turn the choke lever (G/4) to the CHOKE (closed) position. - Hold the brushcutter with one hand as shown in Fig. E on page 14.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE WORK CAUTION: Before doing any work on the brushcutter, always switch off the motor and pull the plug cap off the spark plug . Always wear protective gloves! CAUTION: Start the brushcutter only after complete assembly and inspection! Instructions for maintenance For long life and trouble-free operation of your brushcutter the maintenance work listed below must be carried out regularly. Failure to perform this maintenance work in a correct and timely fashion will void the guarantee.
Cleaning the air filter A - Loosen the screws (A/1) and remove the air filter cover (A/2). - Take the foam filter out of the cover. 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. - If it is very dirty clean it more often. 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.
Lubricating the gear box Suction head in the fuel tank E D After about 50 operating hours the gear box (D/8) should be checked by a OLMAR service centre, and if necessary regrease. The service centre will add the exact amount of grease, as excessive grease will lead to overheating of the gearbox. The felt filter (E/9) of the suction head is used to filter the fuel taken in by the carburetor. A periodical visual inspection of the felt filter should be conducted.
