running. If you release the switch handle, the motor
will stop.

move forward automatically with about 1 m/s. If you
release the switch handle, the motor will stop.
CAUTION: The blade starts turning as soon as
the motor is started.
WARNING: Cutting elements continue to rotate
after the motor is switch off.
CAUTION: Determine the maximum permissible
system impedance Zmax (0.320Ω) at the interface point of
the user's supply, declare Zmax (0.320Ω) in the
equipment instruction manual and instruct the user to
determine in consultation with the supply authority, if
necessary, that the equipment is connected only to a
supply of that impedance or less.
11. 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 balanced 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 the
blade (2), unscrew the blade screw (3). (Fig. 23 - 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 20 -25 Nm torque.
WARNING: For service, replace the blade with:
MAKITA 263001461 only.

12. EXTENSION CORDS

You should only use extension cords for outdoor use, PVC
(H05VV-F) or rubber cord (H05RN-F) ordinary duty with a
cross sectional area not less than 1.5 mm
Before using, check the supply and extension cords for
signs of damaged 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.
