underpan, and then fixed with supplied screw by a
screwdriver. (Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5)
B) Connect the upper handle and the lower handle with
the locking lever. (Fig. 6, Fig. 7)
C) Position the cable over the handle shaft. Clamp it
around the middle of lower handle by the cable clamp
and make sure the cable is fixed on the outside of the

There is a level indicator on the top of the grass catcher
that shows whether the catcher is empty or full (Fig. 13A,
Fig. 13B):
- The level indicator inflates if the catcher is not full during
the moving. (Fig. 13B)
- If the catcher is full, the indicator collapses. Once this
happens, stop moving immediately and empty the
catcher, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork
is ventilated. (Fig. 13A)
IMPORTANT
If the position of indicator opening is very dirty, the
indicator will not inflate. In this case, clean the position of
indicator opening immediately.
6. ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING
HEIGHT
The cutting height is adjusted by attaching the wheels to
the required hole.
All wheels must be at the same height.
The height (the blade to the ground) can be adjusted from
20 mm to 55 mm (3 height positions). (Fig. 14)
The lowest adjustment: 20 mm (position (1)); the middle
adjustment: 40 mm (position (2)); the highest adjustment:
55 mm (position (3)).
WARNING: Disconnect the electric cord from the
power supply.
WARNING: Make this adjustment only when the
blade is stopped.
7. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
a) Always operate with the deflector or grass catcher in
the correct position.
b) Always stop the motor before removing the grass
catcher or adjusting the height of cutting position.
c) Before mowing, remove all foreign objects from the
lawn which may be thrown by the machine. While
mowing, stay alert for any foreign objects which may
have been missed. (Fig. 15)
d) Never lift the rear of the mower while starting the

after the motor is switched off.
9. BLADE
The blade is made of pressed steel. It will be necessary to
reshape it frequently (with a grind wheel).
Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbalanced blade
will cause dangerous vibrations). To check for balance,
insert a round rod through the central hole and support
the blade horizontally. (Fig. 21) A balance blade will
remain horizontal. If the blade is not balanced the heavy
end will rotate downwards. Reshape the heavy end until
the blade is currently balanced. (Fig. 22) To remove th e
blade (2), unscrew the blade screw (3). (Fig. 23, Fig. 24,
Fig. 25)
Check the conditions of the fan (1), and replace any parts,
which are damaged. (Fig. 23)
When reassembling, make sure that the cutting edges
face in the direction of the motor rotation. The blade screw
(3) must be tightened to torque 20-25 Nm.
WARNING: For service,
replace the blade with: MAKITA
263001422 (for ELM3311) and
MAKITA 263001414 (for
ELM3711) only.
10. EXTENSION CORDS
You should only use extension cords for outdoor use, PVC
or rubber cord ordinary duty with a cross sectional area
not less than 1.0 mm2.
Before using, check the supply and extension cords for
signs of damage during use, disconnect the cord for signs
of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged during
use, disconnect the cord from the supply immediately. DO
NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING
THE SUPPLY. Do not use the appliance if the cord is
damaged or worn. Keep extension cord away from cutting
elements.
WARNING: Always ensure that the ventilation
openings are kept clear of debris.
