Frequently Asked Questions - GA016G MAKITA
How to change the cutting line of the Makita GA016G brush cutter?
To change the line, turn off the tool and remove the battery. Open the head cover, remove the empty spool, wind new line (2.4 mm) in the indicated direction, then reassemble.
Which battery is compatible with the GA016G?
The GA016G uses the Makita XGT 40 V max (36 V nominal) battery. Models BL4020, BL4025, BL4040, BL4050F are compatible.
How to install a blade on the GA016G?
Remove the battery, unscrew the head nut, remove the line head, place the blade (diameter 255 mm), tighten the nut with the provided wrench. Always use the appropriate blade guard.
The motor does not start, what to do?
Check that the battery is charged and inserted correctly. Make sure the safety lock is disabled. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.
What is the battery life with the GA016G?
Battery life depends on the battery and usage conditions. With a BL4040 battery (4.0 Ah), expect about 30 to 45 minutes under normal use.
How to clean the brush cutter after use?
Clean debris with a soft brush, wipe metal parts with a dry cloth. Do not use pressurized water. Grease the drive shaft regularly.
Can I use the GA016G without a blade guard?
No, using without a guard is dangerous and prohibited. The guard reduces the risk of projection and accidental contact with the blade.
Is the GA016G suitable for cutting thick branches?
It is designed for grass and thick brush (up to 20 mm). For larger branches, use a hedge trimmer or saw.
How to replace the blade of the GA016G?
Remove the battery, lock the blade with a screwdriver, unscrew the central nut, replace the worn blade with a new one (ref. 197246-3), then tighten the nut to a torque of 20 Nm.
