• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the

“E”) blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,

the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not

operate. In these cases, charge the battery or replace

the empty battery with a fully charged one.

• When two or more indicator lamps do not light even

after charging is complete, the battery has reached the

end of its service life.

• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps light

alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.

Contact your local Makita authorized service center.

NOTE:

• The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual

level during use or immediately after using the tool.

• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient

temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the

actual capacity.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out

any work on the tool. Failure to switch off and remove

the battery cartridge may result in serious personal

injury from accidental start-up.

• Never start the tool unless it is completely

assembled. Operation of the tool in a partially

assembled state may result in serious personal injury

from accidental start-up.

Installing the handle

For model BBC231U, BC231UD

Insert the shaft of the handle into the grip as shown. Align

the screw hole in the grip with the one in the shaft. Tighten

the screw securely. (Fig. 14)

Loosen knob.

Place handle between handle clamp and handle holder.

Adjust the handle to an angle that provides a comfortable

working position and then secure by firmly hand-

tightening knob. (Fig. 15)

For model BBC300L, BC300LD (Fig. 16)

Fit the barrier and grip onto the shaft pipe with four

screws. Make sure that the grip/barrier assembly is fitted

between the spacer and the arrow mark.

Position the barrier on the left side of the tool. Then

tighten four screws so that the grip/barrier assembly

cannot move or rotate on the shaft pipe.

WARNING:

• Do not remove or shrink the spacer. The spacer

keeps a certain distance between both hands. Setting

the grip/barrier assembly close to the other grip beyond

the length of the spacer may cause loss of control and

serious personal injury.

Installing the guard (Fig. 17 & 18)

WARNING:

• Never use the tool without the guard illustrated in

place. Failure to do so can cause serious personal

injury.

CAUTION:

• While installing the guard extension be careful not

to contact the sharp nylon cord cutter provided on

the guard extension. Contact with the cutter could

result in personal injury.

Attach the protector cover onto the gear case. Slightly

push the wings outward and put the bolts into the holes in

the wings. (Fig. 19)

NOTICE:

• Do not push the wings outward too much.

Otherwise it may break.

Fix the guard to the clamp with two bolts as shown.

Tighten the right and left bolts evenly. (Fig. 20)

When using a nylon cutting head, mount the guard

extension. Place the guard extension onto the mounting

track provided on the lower edge of the guard. And slide it

into position until the guard extension clicks and locks into

place. The guard extension is designed so that it will only

mount onto the guard in one direction. (Fig. 21)

NOTE:

• Remove tape adhered to cutter, which cuts nylon cord,

on guard extension at the first use. (Fig. 22)

To remove the guard extension, use a flat-blade

screwdriver and place it into the small notch provided on

the locking nub. To unlock the guard extension press

down on the locking nub while sliding the lower guard

extension in the direction indicated in the figure. Once the

guard extension starts to slide it is unlocked and can be

removed by continuing to slide it off of the guard.

Installing the cutter blade

WARNING:

• The outside diameter of the cutter blade must be

230 mm. Never use any blade exceeding 230 mm in

outside diameter.

CAUTION:

• The cutter blade must be well polished, free of cracks

or breakage. Polish or replace the cutter blade every

three hours of operation.

• Always wear gloves when handling the cutter blade.

• Always attach the blade cover when the tool is not in

use or is being transported.
