Service
The maintenance and repair of modern hedge trimmers and their safety devices require qualified technical training and a workshop
equipped with special tools and test instruments.
All work not described in this Manual must be performed by an authorised MAKITA service centre.
The MAKITA service centres have all the necessary equipment and skilled and experienced personnel, who can work out cost-
effective solutions and advise you in all matters.
Repair attempts by third parties or unauthorised persons will void the warranty.
Please contact your nearest service centre (list enclosed).

Reliable long-term operation, as well as the safety of your hedge trimmer, depend among other things on the quality of the spare
parts used. Use only original MAKITA parts, marked
