10. Do not connect/disconnect the plug to/from
the socket of the portable power pack in the
rain or wet conditions. Do not leave, use, or
store the tool and portable power pack in the
rain or a damp or wet place. Doing so may
cause electric shock.
11. After removing the battery from the portable
power pack or charger, be sure to attach the
battery cover to the battery and store it in a dry
place.
12. If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
Putting into operation
1. Before assembling or adjusting the tool, dis-
connect the portable power pack from the tool.
2. Before handling the cutter blade, wear protec-
tive gloves.
3. Before connecting the portable power pack to
the tool, inspect the tool for damages, loose
screws/nuts or improper assembly. Sharpen
blunt cutter blade. If the cutter blade is bent or
damaged, replace it. Check all control levers
and switches for easy action. Clean and dry
the handles.
4. Never attempt to switch on the tool if it is dam-
aged or not fully assembled. Otherwise serious

8. The cutting tool has to be equipped with the
guard. Never run the tool with damaged guards
or without guards in place!
9. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Watch for hidden obsta-
cles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to
avoid stumbling.
6. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
7. Walk, never run.
8. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of
control.
9.
If the tool gets heavy impact or fall, check the
condition before continuing work. Check the
controls and safety devices for malfunction. If
there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized
service center for the inspection and repair.
10. Do not touch the gear case during and imme-
diately after the operation. The gear case
becomes hot during operation and can cause burn

11. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused
by fatigue. We recommend taking a 10 to 20-min-
ute rest every hour.
12. When you leave the tool, even if it is a short
time, always disconnect the portable power
pack from the tool. The unattended tool with the
battery cartridge installed may be used by unau-
thorized person and cause serious accident.
13. If grass or branches get caught between the
cutting attachment and guard, always turn the

the moving hazardous parts have come to a
complete stop and the portable power pack is
disconnected from the tool.

Then disconnect the portable power pack from
the tool and inspect the cutting attachment.
16. Check the cutting attachment frequently
during operation for cracks or damages.
Before the inspection, disconnect the porta-
ble power pack from the tool and make sure
that the cutting attachment stops completely.
Replace damaged cutting attachment immedi-

17. Never cut above waist height.
18. Before starting the cutting operation, wait until
the cutting attachment reaches a constant
speed after turning the tool on.
19. When using a cutting blade, swing the tool
evenly in half-circle from right to left, like
using a scythe.
20.
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hid-
den wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
21. Do not start the tool when the cutting tool is
tangled with cut grass.
22. Before starting the tool, be sure that the cut-
ting tool is not touching the ground and other
obstacles such as a tree.
23. During operation always hold the tool with
both hands. Never hold the tool with one hand
during use.
24. Do not use the tool when there is a risk of
lightning.
25. When you use the tool on muddy ground, wet
slope, or slippery place, pay attention to your
footing.
26. Avoid working in poor environment where
increased user fatigue is expected.
27. Do not use the tool in bad weather where visi-
bility is limited. Failure to do so may cause fall or
incorrect operation due to low visibility.
28. Do not submerge the tool into a puddle.
29. Do not leave the tool unattended outdoors in
the rain.
30. When wet leaves or dirt adhere to the suc-
tion mouth (ventilation window) due to rain,
remove them.
31. Do not use the tool in the snow.
Cutting tools
1. Do not use a cutting tool which is not recom-
mended by Makita.
2. Use an applicable cutting attachment for the
job in hand.
— Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads)
and plastic blades are suitable for trimming
lawn grass.
— Cutting blades are suitable for cutting weeds,
high grasses, bushes, shrubs, underwood,
thicket, and the like.
— Never use other blades including metal
