IMPORTANT:
Because many of the parts and assemblies not mentioned
in this Operator's manual are vital to the safety of the unit,
and because all parts are subject to a certain amount of
wear and tear, it is important for your own safety that
you have the unit checked and maintained regularly by a
MAKITA service center.
IMPORTANT:
If the cutting wheel breaks during cutting, the
Power Cut must be repaired by a MAKITA service
center before being used again!

Changing the V-belt

Loosen bolts (1) and remove belt cover (2).
Move the V-belt pulley into the position shown.
Insert the Allen key into the hole (3) to block the V-belt pulley
(5).
Note: Make sure that the V-belt pulley remains blocked.
Use the combination tool to turn the nut (4) about one turn
counter-clockwise.
Use the combination tool to turn the eccentric (6) forcefully
counter-clockwise to the position shown.
Remove the old V-belt (7) or belt fragments.
Clean out the interior with a brush.
Insert a new V-belt.
Use the combination tool to turn the eccentric (6) forcefully
clockwise to its original position (V-belt is now tight).
Tighten the nut (4).
Remove Allen key from hole (3).
Put the belt cover (2) on and tighten the bolts (1).
Note: The V-belt is highly elastic, so it is not necessary to
retighten it.
A worn V-belt causes the cutoff disc turns at the lowest idle
speed. In this case, the V-belt must be replaced!
