CAUTION: Repair the machine in accordance with “Instruction manual” or “Safety instructions”.
Warning: Follow the instructions described below in advance before repairing:
• Wear gloves.
• Remove the cutting tool from the unit.
• When the engine is hot from use, cool down the engine enough or you can get burned.
• Remove remaining fuel from Fuel tank and Carburetor completely. [FLAMMABLE MATERIAL KEEP FIRE AWAY]
• Remove Spark plug cap from Spark plug.
• Repair the engine on a stable workbench and in a clean workplace kept as free of dust and debris as possible.
• In order to avoid wrong reassembly, draw or write down where and how the parts are assembled, and what are the parts.
It is also recommended to have boxes ready to keep disassembled parts by group.
• Handle the disassembled parts carefully. Clean and wash them properly.
• If some bolts and screws are too tight, use Impact driver.
• Tighten the bolts and the screws to the specified torque as shown in "[5] Tightening torque specifications".
• Each time after you mounted a main part of the engine such as the piston, check if it moves smoothly
without abnormal noise by manually turning the crankshaft.
• After completion of reassembly, check for loose parts or abnormal noise and vibration
by manually turning the crankshaft.

(1) Loosen two M8 Hex nuts slightly with Wrench 13-16 of a standard accessory. (Fig. 2)
(2) Release the tension on V-belt 5-800 by turning M6 Tensioning screw counterclockwise with Screwdriver.
The position of M6 square nut shows the tension level; as it comes close to the minus mark, the belt tension is
relieved. (Fig. 2)
(3) When Water supply set is on the machine, remove it. (Fig. 3)
Holder (Fig. 2) can be removed from Belt cover by turning clockwise/ counterclockwise to 90° .
(4) Remove two M8 Hex nuts, then separate Belt cover and Hood section from the machine. (Fig. 4)
(5) When Hood section is disassembled:
1. Face the blade installation side of Spindle toward the ram of Arbor press.
2. Press Spindle out of Cutting device. Ball bearing 6203LLU is removed together with Spindle. (Fig. 5)
(6) Remove Retaining ring R-40 from Cutting device with 1R291, and then press the other 6203LLU out of
Cutting device. (Fig. 6)

Assemble their parts by reversing the disassembly procedure.
(1) Assemble one of Ball bearing 6203LLU to Cutting holder, then snap Retaining ring R-40 into the groove of
Cutting device to secure the bearing.
(2) Insert Spindle into the other Ball bearing 6203LLU, then assemble them to Cutting device until they stop.
Note: Use two 1R030 as drawn in Fig. 7 so that their inner retainers of Ball bearings 6203LLU can be held without load
to the other portions.
This retains the proper tensions to their inner retainers.
(3) Insert Lock shaft into the place of Cutting device, then set Sliding disc and Impact plate. Push Lock shaft from
Belt cover side toward Blade installation side until the top bumps against Impact plate. (Fig. 8)
(4) Belt tension must be adjusted by turning M6 Tension screw clockwise until M6 Hex nut is aligned to a line between
plus mark and minus mark. (Fig. 9.)
(5) Holder of Water supply set can be set to Belt cover by turning clockwise/ counterclockwise to 90° .

(1) If Spiral spring pops out of Reel, put it back in place by setting
the outer end of Spiral spring in place in Reel first, then by winding
Spiral spring counterclockwise towards the center of Reel. (Fig. 13)
(2) Apply a little amount of Makita grease N No.2 to the whole surface
of Spiral spring.
(3) Put Starter rope through Starter case complete.
After passing the one end through Starter knob and Rope stopper,
tie the end as drawn in Fig. 14. Then cover the top of Starter knob
with Cap.
After passing the other end from the hole of Starter case to Reel,
tie the end in Reel.
(4) Wind Starter rope around Reel for the 2/3 length (When the whole
length is 1m, wind 66cm.)
(5) While setting the inner end of Spiral spring into the center slot of
Starter case, assemble Reel to Starter case properly.
(6) Tighten M6x20 Set screw with Phillips screwdriver No. 3. (Fig. 11)
(7) Make a slack of Starter rope then hook it on U-shaped notch of
Reel. (Fig. 11) Turn Reel counterclockwise to spin Starter rope
around Reel.
Important: Make sure that the proper spring force is effective to Starter
assembly by turning Starter knob by hand and it can be
returned back to the original position. (Fig. 15)
Even if Starter rope is pulled to the full, there is room to
rotate Reel because of Spiral spring performance.
