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!
