Are these blades compatible with my standard string trimmer head?
No, these blades are specifically designed to be used with the Makita 199868-0 plastic blade head.
Can I use these to cut thick branches?
No, these blades are intended for grass and light brush. Using them on heavy woody vegetation will damage the plastic.

Each package contains 12 plastic blades.
What is the length of the blades?
Each blade is 305mm in length.
Why are these better than nylon line?
They produce less noise, offer a cleaner cut, and do not require the constant feeding process of nylon string.
Which models support these blades?
These are compatible with the DUR369A, DUR369L, UR101C, and UR201C models.
Troubleshooting
Blades snapping frequently
Check if you are hitting solid obstructions like rocks or concrete. Adjust your cutting angle to focus only on grass.
Increased vibration
Ensure all 12 blades are installed evenly and none are chipped or broken; replace any damaged blades immediately.
Blades won't rotate
Check the blade head for packed-in grass or dirt that may be preventing the pivot mechanism from moving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These blades are designed exclusively for use with the Makita 199868-0 plastic blade head. Ensure your trimmer model is one of the supported units: DUR369A, DUR369L, UR101C, or UR201C.
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the power source is disconnected (battery removed).
- Remove the existing blades from the blade head assembly.
- Snap the new 305mm plastic blades into the mounting points of the 199868-0 head.
- Check that each blade swings freely before re-engaging the power.
Care: Store the blades in a cool, dry place to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle. Periodically inspect the blade head for debris buildup to ensure the pivot points remain unobstructed.
