SERVICE

IMPORTANT:

Because many of the parts and assemblies not mentioned in this Instruction 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 centre before being used again!
