Service, spare parts and guarantee
Maintenance and repair
The maintenance and repair of modern machines, as well
as all safety devices, require qualified technical training and
a special workshop equipped with special tools and testing
devices.
All work not described in this Instruction Manual may be
done only by a properly qualified workshop or authorised
service centre.
The MAKITA service centres have all the necessary equip-
ment and skilled and experienced personnel, who can work
out cost-effective solutions and advise you in all matters.
Repair attempts by third parties or unauthorized persons
will void all warranty claims.
Responsibility
On tools with engines by Briggs&Stratton, Honda,
Tecumseh or Robin Subaru, the engine manufacturer or
their authorised service centre is responsible for the engine
only. MAKITA is responsible for the rest of the tool (exclud-
ing the engine).
This does not apply to electrical generators and all
other tools or equipment not containing engines of the
above brands.
Only MAKITA is responsible for these tools and equip-
ment.
Spare parts
Reliable long-term operation, as well as the safety of your
machine, depend among other things on the quality of the
spare parts used.
Use only original MAKITA parts.
Only original spare parts and accessories guarantee the
highest quality in material, dimensions, function and safety.
Original spare parts and accessories can be obtained from
your local dealer. He will also have the spare part lists to
determine the required spare part numbers, and will be
constantly informed about the latest improvements and
spare part innovations.
Please note that the use of non-original parts renders the
warranty void.
Guarantee
MAKITA guarantees the highest quality and will therefore
reimburse all costs for repair by replacement of damaged
parts resulting from material or production faults occurring
within the guarantee period after purchase. Please note
that in some countries particular guarantee conditions may
exist. If you have any questions, please contact your sales-
GB man, who is responsible for the guarantee of the product.

damage caused by:
• Disregard of the instruction manual.
• Non-performance of the required maintenance and
cleaning.
• Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
• Normal wear and tear.
• Obvious overloading due to permanent exceeding of the
upper performance limits.
• Use of force, improper use, misuse or accidents.
• Damage from overheating due to dirt on the fan housing.

ate repairs.
• Use of unsuitable spare parts or parts which are not orig-
inal MAKITA parts, insofar as they have caused the dam-
age.

the guarantee. All repairs covered by the guarantee must
be performed by a MAKITA service centre.
