Optional Accessories - Makita BUR141 Manuel D'instructions

CAUTION:
• Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out the ground with
it. (Fig. 24)
Cutting the grass near a tree, concrete
block, brick or garden stone (Fig. 25)
Hold the trimmer tilting at a level so that it does not
contact the ground surface and cut the grass using the
nylon cord tip like knocking the ground. In this work,
smooth feeding out is needed because the nylon cord
wears more quickly than usual.
NOTE:
• Getting the trimmer too close to a tree, concrete block,
brick or garden stone or the like during performing the
edging work or such similar cutting work may cause the
nylon cord to be cut off halfway inside the spool cover.
At this time, take the spool out of the spool cover and
then set the nylon cord again properly by referring to
the section titled "Installing or removing the nylon
cutting head" and "Winding a new nylon cord on the
spool". Using the tip of the nylon cord during operation
brings the best result of operation and therefore it is
recommended to keep the tool more than 5 cm away
from the tree, concrete block, brick or garden stone or
the like.
Start the trimmer before getting close to the grass to be
cut.
Cut the grass using the nylon cord tip by moving the
trimmer from right to left and proceed slowly, keeping the
trimmer tilted at the angle of about 30° in relation to the
ground surface.
When cutting high grass, cut in layers always beginning
from the top with each cut length short.
Using the tool as an edger
Using the tool as an edger allows the operator to cut along
the edge of the concrete block, brick and the like. (Fig. 26)
For using the tool as an edger, hold the shaft of the
trimmer with one hand and turn the grip counter clockwise
to loosen the shaft. Rotate the shaft with the motor
housing 180° and tighten the grip clockwise until it locks.
(Fig. 27)
NOTE:
• Before rotating the shaft, it needs to be fully shortened
or extended.
• After changing to the edger position, make sure that
the motor housing and shaft are locked.
To obtain a good result of finish cutting, move parallel to
the edge you are going to perform an edging work.
(Fig. 28)
Cutting the grass in a tight place or on a
slope
WARNING:
• When cutting the grass on a slope, be careful of
stones, grass and other foreign objects thrown from the
cutting head area.
• When cutting the grass on a slope, make sure that you
always keep a good and stable footing.
To ease the work in a tight place which restricts the
height, such as cutting the grass under an outdoor wood
deck and similars, push the lock button and then bend
12
down the cutting head so that the shaft is parallel to the
ground surface. Adjusting the cutting head angle properly
in this way helps you cut the grass on a slope. (Fig. 29)
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance on the tool.
Failure to switch off and remove the battery cartridge
may result in serious personal injury from accidental
start-up.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
