Cutting Attachment In Central / Side Position; Repositioning The Cutting Attachment - Makita EK7301 Operator's And Safety Manual

Cutting attachment in
central / side position
NOTE: The Power Cut is delivered with the cutting attachment
mounted in the middle position (1). For cutting up against ob-
stacles, such as curbs or walls, the cutting attachment can be
mounted to one side (2). Use this position only when actually
necessary, and afterwards return the cutting attachment to the
middle position
In this position the Power Cut has better balance, is easier to
guide, and is not as fatiguing for the operator.

Repositioning the cutting attachment

Loosen nuts (5).
Loosen the tightening screw (3) (counter-clockwise) until the
end of the screw (4) is visible in the gap.
Loosen and unscrew the screw (detail X, only for DPC8132).
Unscrew the nuts (5) and remove the cover (6).
Use the combination tool (8) to lever out the stop pin (9) as
shown in the illustration, until the protective hood (11) can be
turned.
NOTE: The turn stop (7) is deactivated when the stop pin (8) is
removed. This permits the hood (11) to be turned farther than
the turn stop (7).
Unscrew the grip (10) and turn the protective hood (11) as
shown in the illustration.
