Replacing The Featherlight Start Spring; Mounting The Fan Housing - Makita EA5600F Operator's And Safety Manual

Replacing the return spring pack
Disassemble the fan housing and cable drum (see page 36).
CAREFUL! Injury hazard! The return spring can pop out!
Always wear eye protection and protective gloves!
Lightly tap the fan housing on a wooden surface with the entire
surface of the hollow side, and hold it down. Now lift the fan
housing carefully and in small steps. This will allow the return
spring pack (14), which should now have fallen out, to relax in
a controlled manner if the return spring has popped out of the
plastic pack.
Carefully insert a new return spring cassette and press down
until it engages.
Assemble the cable drum and tension the return spring (see
page 36).
Replacing the starter spring
NOTE: If the spring (7) in the Featherlight-Starting system is
broken, more effort will be required to start the engine and you
will notice some resistance when pulling the starter cable. If
you notice this, check the spring (7) and replace if necessary.
