Service, spare parts and guarantee

Maintenance and repair

The maintenance and repair of modern cutoff saws and their safety-related components requires qualified technical training and a

workshop equipped with special tools and testing devices.

We therefore recommend that you consult a MAKITA service center for all work not described in this instruction manual.

The MAKITA service centers have all the necessary equipment and skilled and experienced personnel, who can work out cost-effective

solutions and advise you in all matters.

Please contact your nearest service center (list enclosed) or the general trading company or importer (see last page), who will gladly

provide you with the address of your nearest MAKITA service center.

Spare parts

Reliable long-term operation, as well as the safety of your Power Cut, depend among other things on the quality of the spare parts

used. Use only original MAKITA parts, marked

Only original parts are from the same production line as the original unit and therefore ensure the highest possible quality of materi-

als, dimensions, functioning and safety.

Only original spare parts and accessories guarantee the highest quality in material, dimensions and function.

Original spare parts and accessories can be obtained from your local dealer. He will also have the spare part lists to determine the

required spare part numbers, and will be constantly informed about the latest improvements and spare part innovations.

Please bear in mind that if parts other than original MAKITA spare parts are used, this will automatically invalidate the MAKITA

product guarantee.

We will furthermore not accept any liability damages arising from the use of non-MAKITA spare parts.
