Working behavior / Method of working

- Use the brushcutter only in good light and visibility.
During the winter season beware of slippery or wet
areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a
safe footing.
- Never cut above your shoulder height.
- Never stand on a ladder and run the brushcutter.
- Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operations
with the brushcutter.
- Never work on unstable surfaces.
- Make sure the cutting area is free of foreign objects such
as stones and metal items. Foreign particles can re-
bound (danger of injury, 14), damage the cutting tool
and cause dangerous kickbacks.
- Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have
reached full working speed.

Applications for cutting tools

Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand (15)!
Do not use tools for jobs they are not designed for.
2-line -/ 4-line trimmer head:
Exclusively for cutting along walls, fences, grass edges,
trees, posts etc. (supplementing the lawn mower).
8-tooth eddy blade, 4-tooth star blade, steel bush cut-
ter:
For cutting thicker materials like weeds, tall grass, bushes,
shrubs, mixed growth, thickets, etc. with stems up to 2 cm
(3/4") thick. Perform this cutting work by swinging the brush
cutter evenly in half-circles from left to right (similar to a
scythe) (16).
Chisel type saw blade:
For forestry cleanup work and for harvesting small trees
with trunks up to 6" (15 cm) thick (17). Apply even pressure
when cutting.

Transport

- When transporting the equipment or moving to
another working location, the brushcutter must be
switched off in order to avoid unintentionally starting
the cutting tool.
- Never carry and transport the brushcutter when the
cutting tool is in operation!
- The tool protection included with the equipment must
always be used if the brushcutter is transported over
longer distances.
- Ensure that the brushcutter is safely secured so that no
fuel can run out before transporting it in a vehicle. Empty
the fuel tank before transporting the brushcutter.
- Before shipping the brushcutter, completely empty the
fuel tank.

Storage

- The brushcutter must be safely stored in a dry room. Use
the tool protection for metal cutting tools. Keep the
brushcutter out of reach of children.
- If the brushcutter is stored for a long period of time, it
should be given a thorough maintenance check and a
complete inspection at an authorized MAKITA service
centre.
- If the brushcutter is stored for a long period of time, the
fuel tank should be completely emptied and the carburetor
run dry. Fuels may only be stored for a limited period of
time and could cause deposits to form in the tank or in
the carburetor.
- Fuel remains in reserve canisters should be used for
other engines or disposed of.
DANGER:
