8.
Never drop or throw the machine, unless an
emergency. If the machine drops or hits some-
thing, immediately check for fuel leakage,
safety devices and other damages.
Operating
a malfunctioned machine may cause injury and/or
fire.
9.
Inspect the cutting tool frequently, or immedi-
ately after it hits a stone or other hard objects.
If the cutting tool breaks during operation, the
broken piece may fly and cause injury.
10.
Stop the motor when inspecting, cleaning or
replacing the cutting tool.
Otherwise the cutting
tool may rotate unexpectedly and result in serious
injury.
11.
Maintain proper control until the cutting tool
stops completely, when stopping the motor or
releasing the throttle trigger.
A coasting blade
can cause injury.
12.
Before starting the cutting operation, wait until
the cutting tool attains enough speed for cut-
ting.
It reduces the risk of kickback and entangling
weeds.
13.
Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused
by fatigue.
We recommend taking a 10 to 20-min-
ute rest every hour.
14.
Stop the motor and place it in safe location,
when resting or leaving the machine.
It pre-
vents unexpected accident.
15.
Do not touch the engine and its muffler or do
not put them onto combustible materials, while
the engine runs or just after stopping it, as
they are hot.
Burn and/or fire may result.
Cutting Tools
1.
Use a suitable cutting tool for your work.
Always use the cutting tool guard properly
suited for the cutting tool used.
2.
Never use metal multi-piece pivoting chains,
flail blades or blades not recommended in this
manual.
Otherwise serious injury may result.
3.
When handling the metal blade, always wear
gloves and put the blade cover on the blade.
The blade can cut bare hands.
4.
When using metal blades, avoid “kickback”
and always prepare for an accidental kickback.
See the section
Kickback
.
5.
Before and after each operation, make sure
that the cutting tool is attached securely.
During operation, check the cutting tool for
looseness in certain intervals.
Kickback (blade thrust)
Kickback (blade thrust) may occur when the spin-
ning blade contacts an object that it does not imme-
diately cut. It can be violent enough to cause the
unit and/or operator to be propelled in any direc-
tion, and possibly lose control of the unit, resulting
in serious injury. Kickback can occur without warn-
ing if the blade snags, stalls or binds and is more
likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the
material being cut.
Kickback occurs particularly when applying the
blade segment between 11 and 1 o’clock to solids,
bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger diameter.

Fig.1
To avoid kickback:
1.
Apply the segment between 8 and 11 o’clock
and between 1 and 4 o'clock.
2.
Swing the tool evenly in half-circle from right
to left, like using a scythe.
This allows the
proper segment of blade to contact plants to be
cut.
3.
Never apply the segment between 11 and
1 o’clock.

4.
Never use cutting blades close to solids, such
as fences, walls, tree trunks and stones.
5.
Never use cutting blades vertically, for such
operations as edging and trimming hedges.
6.
Avoid using the tool in areas where it is diffi
-
cult to see the object being cut.
Vibration
Exposing to excessive vibration injures blood ves-
sels or nervous system of the operator and causes
the following symptoms in the fingers, hands or
wrists: “Falling asleep” (numbness), tingling, pain,
stabbing sensation, or alteration of skin color or
of the skin. If any of these symptoms occur, see a
physician.
To reduce the risk of “white finger disease”, keep
your hands warm during operation and well main-
tain the machine and accessories.
Maintenance
1.
Have your machine serviced by our authorized
service center using only identical replace-
ment parts. Use only identical spare parts and
accessories supplied by MAKITA.
Incorrect
repair and poor maintenance can shorten the life
of the machine and increase the risk of accidents.
2.
Never alter or remove any components of the
machine.
It may cause fire and/or serious injury.
3.
After use, clean the machine and check all
screws and nuts for tightness.
4.
Check the condition of the cutting tool, cutting
tool guard and shoulder harness. The cutting
blade must be sharp. Never straighten or weld
damaged cutting tools.
Other instructions
1.
Always store the machine in locked rooms and
with an emptied fuel tank.
2.
Pay attention to the environment. Avoid unnec-
essary throttle operation for less pollution
and noise emissions. Adjust the carburetor
correctly.
3.
Do not operate the engine with faulty exhaust
muffler.
