Installing the grip (Fig. 16)
Fit the grip onto the shaft pipe and tighten it with two hex
bolts. Make sure that the spacer on the shaft pipe is
located between the grip assembly and the other grip. Do
not remove or shrink the spacer.
CAUTION:
• For model DUR183L, never install the grip on the joint.
Installing the guard

• Never use the tool without the guard illustrated in
place. Failure to do so can cause serious personal
injury. (Fig. 17 & 18)
Align the protrusions on the protector with the grooves of
the motor housing. (Fig. 19)
Align the protrusions on the protector holder with the
concave portions of the motor housing. Insert the
protector holder to the motor housing. (Fig. 20)
After attaching the protector and the protector holder to
the motor housing, tighten the hex bolts securely.
Installing the wire guard
CAUTION:
• Before adjusting the wire guard, wait for the cutting
head comes to standstill. Do not adjust the wire guard
with your foot. (Fig. 21)
To reduce the risk damaging the objects in front of the

cutting range of the mowing line. (Fig. 22)
Slightly expand the wire guard outward and then insert it
into the holes of the protector.
NOTE:

Otherwise it may break. (Fig. 23)
When wire guard is not in use, lift it for the idle position.
Installing nylon cutting head

• Be sure to use genuine Makita nylon cutting head.
Turn the tool upside down so that you can replace the
nylon cutting head easily. (Fig. 24)
Insert the hex wrench through the hole on the protector
cover and the motor housing and rotate the receive
washer until it is locked with the hex wrench. Mount the
metal guard, the nylon cutting head onto the threaded
spindle directly and tighten it by turning it
counterclockwise. Remove the hex wrench.
To remove the nylon cutting head, turn the nylon cutting
head clockwise while holding the receive washer with the
hex wrench.
CAUTION:
• If during operation the nylon cutting head
accidentally impacts a rock or hard object the
trimmer should be stopped and inspected for any
damage. If the nylon cutting head is damaged it
should be replaced immediately. Use of a damaged
nylon cutting head could result in serious personal
injury.
