Replacing the nylon cord
WARNING:
Use nylon cord with diameter spec-
ified in "SPECIFICATIONS" only. Never use heavier
line, metal wire, rope or the like. Use recommended
nylon cord only, otherwise it may cause damage to the
tool and result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Make sure that the cover of the nylon cut-
ting 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.
Take off cover from housing, pressing two latches which
are slotted section oppositely on side of housing.
► 1. 80-100 mm (3 - 4 inches)
Cut a nylon line in 3-6m (10 - 20 ft). Fold the cutting line in two halves,
leave one of half longer 80-100 mm (3 - 4 inches) than another.
Hook the middle of the new nylon cord to the notch
located at the center of the spool between the 2 chan-
nels provided for the nylon cord.

Wind both ends firmly around the spool in the direction
marked on the head for left hand direction indicated by
LH.
Wind all but about 100 mm (4") of the cords, leaving the
ends temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of
the spool.
Mount the spool on the cover so that the grooves and
protrusions on the spool match up with those on the
cover. Now, unhook the ends of the cord from their tem-
porary position and feed the cords through the eyelets
to come out of the cover.
Align the protrusion on the underside of the cover with
the slots of the eyelets. Then push the 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 or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
