Checking the spark plugs
- Use only the supplied socket wrench to remove or install the spark plug.
- The gap between the two electrodes of the spark plug should be 0.6 – 0.7 mm
(0.024" – 0.028"). If the gap is too wide or too narrow, adjust it. If the spark plug is
clogged with carbon or fouled, clean it thoroughly or replace it.
Use only identical replacement parts.
CAUTION: Never touch the spark plug connector while engine is running
(danger of high voltage electric shock).
Supply of grease to gear case
- Supply grease to the gear case through the grease hole every 30 hours of
operation. (Genuine MAKITA grease may be purchased from your MAKITA
dealer.)

- Check muffler exhaust port (1) regularly.
- If it is clogged with carbon deposits, carefully scrape the deposits out with a
suitable tool.
Any maintenance or adjustment work that has not been included and described in this manual is only to be performed by Authorized Service
