Operation; Troubleshooting; Maintenance - Makita UR360D Betriebsanleitung

CAUTION:
• If the nylon cutting head accidentally impacts a
rock or hard object during operation, stop the tool
and inspect it for any damage. If the nylon cutting
head is damaged, replace it immediately. Otherwise
it may be fly apart and cause serous personal injury.

OPERATION

OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Do not cut high grass at a time. Cutting high grass at
a time near the root may cause the tool motor under
overloaded as grass is entangled, and may result in
damage to the tool.
• Do not contact the cutting head with the ground
surface. It may cause the motor under overload, and
result in damage to the tool.
• Do not force the trimmer in densely grown grass.
(Fig. 16)
CAUTION:
• Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out the ground with
it.
Cutting the grass near a tree, concrete
block, brick or garden stone (Fig. 17)
Tilt the tool with paying attention that the tool does not
contact the ground surface. Approach the tip of the nylon
cord to the grass. Smooth feeding out may be needed
because the tip of the nylon cord touches the ground and
wears more quickly than usual.
NOTE:
• Getting the trimmer too close to a tree, concrete block,
brick, garden stone or the like during the edging work
or similar cutting work may cause the nylon cord to be
cut off halfway inside the cutter head. In that case, turn
off the tool, remove the cutting head and set the nylon
cord properly again. Regarding to how to set the nylon
code, refer to the section in "Maintenance".
It is recommended to keep the tool more than 5 cm away
from the tree, concrete block, brick, garden stone or the
like so that the tip of the nylon code does not contact the
hard obstacle and you can expect the best performance.
Start the trimmer before getting close to the grass to be
cut.
Cut the grass using the nylon cord tip by moving the
trimmer from right to left and proceed slowly, keeping the
trimmer at the angle of about 30° in relation to the ground
surface.
When cutting high grass, cut in layers always beginning
from the top with each cut length short.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance on the tool.
Failure to switch off and remove the battery cartridge
may result in serious personal injury from accidental
start-up.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing the nylon cord
WARNING:
• Make sure that the cover of the nylon cutting head
is secured to the housing properly as described
below. Failure to properly secure the cover may cause
the nylon cutting head to fly apart resulting in serious
personal injury. (Fig. 18)
Press inward on the housing latches and lift upward to
remove the cover. Discard any of the remaining nylon
cord. (Fig. 19)
Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch
located at the center of the spool between the 2 channels
provided for the nylon cord. One side of the cord should
be about 80 mm longer than the other side.
Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction
marked on the head for right hand direction indicated by
RH. (Fig. 20)
Wind all but about 100 mm of the cords, leaving the ends
temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of the
spool. (Fig. 21)
Mount the spool in the housing so that the grooves and
protrusions on the spool match up with those in the
housing. Keep the side with letters on the spool visible on
the top. Then, unhook the ends of the cord from their
temporary position and feed the cords through the eyelets
to come out of the housing. (Fig. 22)
Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with the
slots of the eyelets. Then push cover firmly onto the
housing to secure it. Make sure the latches fully spread in
the cover.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Before asking for repairs, conduct your own inspection
first. If you find a problem that is not explained in the

Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts for repairs.
