Makita DPC7310 User Manual

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Before doing any work on the Power Cut turn off the engine,

remove the cutting disc, pull the plug cap off the spark plug

and wear protective gloves!

CAUTION:

Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and

inspection.

IMPORTANT:
Because many of the parts and assemblies not mentioned

in this Instruction Manual are vital to the safety of the unit,

and because all parts are subject to a certain amount of

wear and tear, it is important for your own safety that you

have the unit checked and maintained regularly by a MAKITA

service center.

IMPORTANT:

If the cutting wheel breaks during cutting, the

Power Cut must be repaired by a MAKITA service

center before being used again!
