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 re 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 tted 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.
