Mounting The Handle - Makita DBC260U Original Instruction Manual

Mounting the handle

CAUTION: Before doing any work on the brush cutter, always stop the engine
and disconnect the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION: Ensure you have reassembled the brush cutter completely before
starting it.
For U Handle models
– Place the handle-fixing metal so that the handle with the control lever is
positioned on the right (the right-hand grip side) when viewed from the engine
side.
– Fit the groove of the handle-fixing material to the handle end. Temporarily fix
the attached metal using the hexagon socket bolt provided.
– Adjust the handle to an easy-to-operate position, and securely tighten the four
hexagon socket bolts uniformly on the right and left using an Allen key.
– Fit the control cable (together with the earth cord) to the handle with two clips
(1).
– Make sure the control cable does not loop at the handle bar section.
For Loop Handle models
– Fix a barrier to the left side of the machine together with the handle for
operator protection.
– Make sure that the grip/barrier assembly is fitted between the spacer and the
arrow mark.
WARNING: Do not remove or shrink the spacer. The spacer keeps a certain
distance between both hands. Setting the grip/barrier assembly
close to the other grip beyond the length of the spacer may cause
loss of control and serious personal injury.
