starts blinking, and the tool's head rotates in reverse
direction when you pull the switch trigger.
To return to regular rotation, release the trigger and wait
until the tool's head stops.
NOTE:
• During the reverse rotation, the tool operates only for a
short period of time and then automatically stops.
• Once the tool is stopped, the rotation returns to regular
direction when you start the tool again.
• If you tap the reverse button while the tool's head is still
rotating, the tool comes to stop and to be ready for
reverse rotation.
Nylon cutting head (optional accessory)
NOTICE:
• The bump feed will not operate properly if the head is
not rotating. (Fig. 10)
The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head
provided with a bump & feed mechanism.
To cause the nylon cord to feed out, the cutting head
should be bumped against the ground while rotating.
NOTE:
If the nylon cord does not feed out while bumping the
head, rewind/replace the nylon cord by following the
procedures described under "Maintenance".
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool. Failure to switch off and remove
the battery cartridge may result in serious personal
injury from accidental start-up.
• Never start the tool unless it is completely
assembled. Operation of the tool in a partially
assembled state may result in serious personal injury
from accidental start-up.
Installing the grip (Fig. 11)
Fit the grip onto the pipe and tighten it with two hex bolts.
Make sure that the grip is located further than the hanger.
Installing the guard
WARNING:
• Never use the tool without the guard illustrated in
place. Failure to do so can cause serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
• Take care not to injure yourself on the cutter for cutting
the nylon cord.
Align the clamp on the pipe with the protector. And tighten
them with bolts. (Fig. 12)
Installing nylon cutting head or plastic
blade (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• If the nylon cutting head/plastic blade accidentally
impacts a rock or hard object during operation,
stop the tool and inspect for any damage. If the
12
nylon cutting head/plastic blade is damaged,
replace it immediately. Use of a damaged cutting tool
could result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
• Be sure to use genuine Makita nylon cutting head/
plastic blade.
Turn the tool upside down so that you can replace the
nylon cutting head easily.
Insert the hex wrench through the hole on the motor
housing and rotate the receive washer until it is locked
with the hex wrench. Place the nylon cutting head/plastic
blade onto the threaded spindle directly and tighten it by
turning it clockwise. Remove the hex wrench. (Fig. 13 &
14)
To remove the nylon cutting head/plastic blade, turn it
counterclockwise while holding the receive washer with
the hex wrench.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 15)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
OPERATION
Correct handling of tool
Correct posture (Fig. 16)
WARNING:
• Always position the tool on your right-hand side.
Correct positioning of the tool allows for maximum
control and will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury caused by kickback.
• Be extremely careful to maintain control of the tool
at all times. Do not allow the tool to be deflected
toward you or anyone in the work vicinity. Failure to
keep control of the tool could result in serious injury to
the bystander and the operator.
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.
Replacing the nylon cord
WARNING:
• Never use metal wire, rope or the like. Use
recommended nylon cord only, otherwise it may cause
damage to the tool and result in serious personal injury.
• Make sure that the cover of the nylon cutting head
is secured to the housing properly as described
below. Failure to properly secure the cover may cause
the nylon cutting head to fly apart resulting in serious
personal injury.
