Maintenance
-  Before performing maintenance work switch off the  Power 
Cut (27) and pull out the plug cap.
Always check the Power Cut before using it to make sure that 
it is in good working order. In particular, make sure that the 
cutting disc is properly mounted. Make sure that the cutting 
wheel is undamaged and suitable for the job it will be used 
for.
Operate the Power Cut  only at a low noise and emission level. 
For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly.
-  Clean the Power Cut regularly.
-  Check the fuel tank cap regularly for good sealing.
 
Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by 
trade associations and insurance companies. NEVER 
make any modiÞ cations to the Power Cut! You will only 
be putting your own safety at risk! 
 
Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in 
the instruction manual. All other work must be carried out by 
MAKITA Service.
 
Use only original MAKITA spares and accessories.
 
The use of non-MAKITA spares, accessories, or cutting discs 
increases the risk of accident. We cannot accept any respon-
sibility for accidents or damage occurring in association with 
the use of cutting discs or accessories other than original 
MAKITA.
