• If grass or branches get caught between the cutting tool and guard, always stop the engine before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional blade rotation may cause serious injury.
• Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.

Kickback (blade thrust)

• When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickbacks may occur.
• Kickbacks occur frequently when attempting to cut with the 12 to 2 o'clock section of the blade.
• Never apply the 12 to 2 o'clock section of the brush cutter blade.
• Never apply this section of the brush cutter blade to solid objects, such as bushes or trees etc. that have a diameter greater than 3cm . Doing so will cause the brush cutter to deflect with a large amount of force, which is extremely dangerous and may cause injury.

Kickback prevention

To avoid kickbacks, remember the following:

• Using the 12 to 2 o'clock section of the blade is extremely hazardous, especially when using metal cutting tools.
• Cutting operations using the 11 to 12 o'clock section and 2 to 5 o'clock section of the blade must only be performed by trained and experienced operators, and then only at their own risk.

The optimum cutting section for easy cutting with almost no kickback is between the 8 to 11 o'clock section of the blade.

Cutting Tools

• Use an applicable cutting tool for the job in hand.

Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads) are suitable for trimming lawn grass.

Metal blades are suitable for cutting weeds, high grasses, bushes, shrubs, underwood, thicket, and the like.

Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and flail blades. Otherwise serious injury may result.

• When using metal blades, avoid "kickback" and always prepare for an accidental kickback. See the section "Kickback" and "Kickback prevention".

Maintenance instructions

• Have your equipment serviced by our authorized service center, always using only genuine replacement parts. Incorrect repair and poor maintenance can shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of accidents.
• Always check the condition of the cutter, in particular the cutter protective devices and shoulder strap, before commencing work. Particular attention should also be paid to the cutting blades, which must be correctly sharpened.
• Turn off the engine and remove the spark plug connector when replacing or sharpening cutting tools, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting tool.

Never straighten or weld damaged cutting tools.

• Operate the brush cutter/string trimmer with as little noise and contamination as possible. In particular, check that the carburetor is set correctly.

Handling fuel

Ultmost 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 vapors, and avoid any contact of fuel or oil with your skin. Mineral oil products degrease your skin. Prolonged skin contact with these products will cause your skin to become extremely dry, which may result in various kinds of skin disease. In addition, allergic reactions may occur. Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately.

Fuel and oil mixture

The brush cutter engine is a high-efficiency two-stroke engine. It runs on a mixture of fuel and two-stroke engine oil. The engine is designed for unleaded regular fuel with a min. octane value of 91 RON. To obtain optimum engine performance and to protect your health and the environment, use only unleaded fuel!

To lubricate the engine, add two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: JASO FC or ISO EGD) to the fuel. The engine has been designed to use the specified two-stroke engine oil at mixture ratio of 50:1 to protect the environment. Additionally, long service life accompanied by reliable operation and minimum emissions are guaranteed through the use of this mixture ratio. Reliable functioning of the brush cutter cannot be guaranteed unless this mixture ratio of 50:1 (specified 2-stroke engine oil) is strictly observed.

Correct mixture ratio:

Gasoline: Specified two-stroke engine oil = 50 : 1 or Gasoline: Other manufacturer's two-stroke engine oil = 25 : 1 recommended

NOTE: To prepare the fuel-oil mixture, first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly shake the mixture before pouring it into the brush cutter tank. To ensure safe operation, do not add more engine oil than the specified amount. Doing so will only result in a higher production of combustion residues which pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler. In addition, the fuel consumption will rise and the performance will decrease.

Refuelling

The engine must be switched off.

• Thoroughly clean the area around the fuel filler cap (2) to prevent dirt from getting into the fuel tank (1).
• Unscrew the fuel filler cap (2) and fill the tank with fuel.
  Tightly screw on the fuel filler cap (2).
• Clean the screw fuel filler cap (2) and tank after refueling.

Storage of Fuel

Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time.

Purchase only the quantity required for a 4-week operating period. Only use approved fuel storage containers.

Observe the Safety Instructions on page 3.

Correct handling

Attachment of shoulder strap

• Adjust the strap length so that the cutter blade is kept parallel with the ground.

Detachment

In case of emergency, push the notches (1) at both sides, and detach the equipment. Be extremely careful to maintain control of the equipment at this time. Do not allow the equipment to be deflected toward you or anyone in your vicinity.

WARNING: Failure to maintain complete control of the machine at all could result in serious injury or DEATH.

Note: In some countries, shoulder strap does not have this detachment function.

Important operating points/stopping the cutter/trimmer

Observe the applicable accident prevention regulations.

Starting

CAUTION: Before performing any type of maintenance work on the brush cutter, always switch off the motor and detach the plug cap from the spark plug (see "checking the spark plug"). Always wear protective gloves.

CAUTION: Never remove the recoil starter yourself. Doing so may cause an accident. This procedure should only be performed by an Authorized Service Agent.

To ensure a long service life and to avoid any damage to the equipment, perform the following maintenance operations regularly.

Daily inspection and maintenance

Before operation, check the equipment for loose screws or missing parts. Pay particular attention to the tightness of the cutter blade or nylon cutting head.
Before operation, always check to make sure that the cooling air passage and cylinder fins are not clogged. Clean them if necessary.
- Perform the following maintenance operations daily after use:

• Clean the brush cutter externally and inspect it for damage.
• Clean the air filter. When working under extremely dusty conditions, clean the filter several times a day.
• Check the blade or the nylon cutting head for damage and make sure it is firmly mounted.
• Check that there is sufficient difference between the idling and operating speeds to ensure the cutting tool is at a standstill while the engine is idling (if necessary, reduce the idling speed).

If the cutting tool continues to rotate during engine idling, consult your nearest Authorized Service Agent.

• Check that the I-Stop Switch (on/off)/Start-Stop Switch, the lock-off lever, the control lever, and the lock button are all functioning correctly.

Cleaning the air cleaner (filter)

• Turn the choke lever (4) to the fully closed side, and keep the carburetor away from any dust or dirt.
• Remove the screw (1).
• Remove the air cleaner cover (3).
• Remove the sponge element (2), wash it in lukewarm water and dry it completely.
• After cleaning, put back the air cleaner cover (3) and fasten it with screw (1).

NOTE: If there is excessive dust or dirt adhering to the air cleaner, clean it every day. A clogged air cleaner may make it difficult or impossible to start the engine or increase the engine rotational speed.

Checking the spark plug

• Only use the supplied universal wrench to remove or to install the spark plug.
• The gap between the two electrodes of the spark plug should be 0.6 - 0.7mm (0.024^ - 0.028^ ) . If the gap is too wide or too narrow, adjust it. If the spark plug is clogged with carbon or dirty, clean it thoroughly or replace it.

CAUTION: Never touch the spark plug connector while the engine is running (danger of high voltage electric shock).

Supply of grease to gear case

Supply grease (Shell Alvania 3 or equivalent) to the gear case through the grease hole every 30 hours. (Genuine MAKITA grease may be purchased from your MAKITA dealer.)

Suction head in the fuel tank

• The fuel filter (5) of the suction head is used to supply the fuel required by the carburetor.
• Visually inspect the fuel filter periodically. To inspect the filter, open the fuel filler cap, use a wire hook and pull out the suction head through the tank opening. Replace the filter if it has hardened, become particularly dirty, or clogged.
• Insufficient fuel supply may result in the maximum permissible speed being exceeded. Therefore, the fuel filter must be replaced at least quarterly to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.

Any other maintenance or adjustment work that is not described in this manual must only be performed by Authorized Service Agents.

Storage

• When storing the equipment for a long period of time, drain all the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor. To do this, simple drain all of the fuel from the fuel tank. Dispose of the drained fuel in accordance with local applicable laws.
• Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the spark plug hole. Then, pull the starter gently so that oil coats the inside of the engine, then tighten the spark plug.
• Clean any dirt or dust from the cutter blade and outside of the engine, and wipe them with a oil-immersed cloth. Store the equipment in a dry place.
