• The cutter blade-fastening nut (with spring washer) is a

consumable part. If there appears any wear or

deformation on the spring washer, replace the nut. Ask

your local authorized service center to order it.

• Replace the cup in case of crack or breakage due to

attrition.

NOTICE:

• Be sure to use genuine Makita cutter blade.

Turn the tool upside down so that you can replace the

cutter blade easily. (Fig. 23)

To dismount the cutter blade, insert the hex wrench

through the hole on the protector cover and gear case.

Rotate the receive washer until it is locked with the hex

wrench. Loosen the hex nut (left-hand thread) with the

socket wrench and remove the nut, cup, clamp washer

and hex wrench. (Fig. 24)

Mount the cutter blade onto the shaft so that the guide of

the receive washer fits in the arbor hole in the cutter

blade. Install the clamp washer, cup, and secure the cutter

blade with the hex nut with 13 to 23 Nm of tightening

torque during holding the receive washer with hex

wrench. (Fig. 25)

Make sure that the blade is the left way up.

Installing nylon cutting head

CAUTION:

• Only use the nylon cutting head with the guard and

guard extension in place. Failure to do so can cause

serious personal injury.

NOTICE:

• Be sure to use genuine Makita nylon cutting head.

Turn the tool upside down so that you can replace the

nylon cutting head easily. (Fig. 26)

Insert the hex wrench through the hole on the protector

cover and the gear case and rotate the receive washer

until it is locked with the hex wrench. Mount the nylon

cutting head onto the threaded spindle directly and tighten

it by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the hex wrench.

To remove the nylon cutting head, turn the nylon cutting

head clockwise while holding the receive washer with the

hex wrench.

CAUTION:

• If during operation the nylon cutting head

accidentally impacts a rock or hard object the

trimmer should be stopped and inspected for any

damage. If the nylon cutting head is damaged it

should be replaced immediately. Use of a damaged

nylon cutting head could result in serious personal

injury.

OPERATION

Correct handling of tool (BBC231U,

BC231UD)

Correct posture

WARNING:

• Always position the tool on your right-hand side so

that the shaft of the left handle is always in front of

your body. Correct positioning of the tool allows for

maximum control and will reduce the risk of serious

personal injury caused by kickback.

As shown in the figure fit the shoulder harness and hang

the tool firmly on your right side so that the shaft of the left

handle is always ahead of you. (Fig. 27)

Attachment of shoulder harness (Fig. 28)

Wear the shoulder harness on your back and buckle it up

until a click is heard. Make sure that it cannot be taken off

with pulling it off. Hang the tool as shown.

Detachment (Fig. 29)

The buckle is provided with a means of quick release

which can be accomplished by simply squeezing the

sides and the buckle.

WARNING:

• Be extremely careful to maintain control of the tool

at this time. Do not allow the tool to be deflected

toward you or anyone in the work vicinity. Failure to

do so could result in serious injury.

Adjustment of the hanger position and shoulder

harness

When replacing an accessory with another, the weight

balance of the tool may change. In such case, adjust the

hanger position and shoulder harness length as follows.

To change the hanger position, loosen the fixing screw on

the hanger with the supplied wrench and then move the

hanger and the cushion. The cushion can be moved

easily by twisting it.

Adjust the hanger position and shoulder harness length

so that:

- the hanger positions 750 mm or higher from the

ground,

- the cutting tool positions 100 mm to 300 mm high from

the ground and

- the unguarded part of cutting tool is horizontally

750 mm or farther away from the hanger. (Fig. 30)

After adjusting the hanger position, tighten the screw with

the wrench securely.

Correct handling of tool (BBC300L,

BC300LD)

Correct posture

WARNING:

• Always position the tool on your right-hand side so

that the barrier is always in front of your body.

Correct positioning of the tool allows for maximum

control and will reduce the risk of serious personal

injury caused by kickback.

As shown in the figure, put the shoulder harness on your

left shoulder by putting your head and right arm through it

and keep the tool on your right side while always keeping

the barrier in front of your body. (Fig. 31)

Attachment of shoulder harness (Fig. 32)

After putting the shoulder harness on it can be attached to

the tool by connecting the buckles provided on both the

tool hook and the harness. Be sure that the buckles click

and lock completely in place.

Detachment (Fig. 33)

The buckle is provided with a means of quick release

which can be accomplished by simply squeezing the

sides and the buckle.
