Product Information

Full details

This Makita Line and Brush Cutter Attachment is for users of compatible Makita split shaft machines seeking a versatile and efficient tool for yard maintenance. Its key benefit is the quick-swap system allowing seamless transitions between tasks. A potential caveat is its reliance on a compatible Makita powerhead for operation. This attachment features a 330mm cutting width with a twin line bump feed system, a narrow guard for improved visibility, and the option to use a plastic blade for tougher jobs. It easily connects and disconnects from Makita powerheads like DUX18, DUX60, EX2650LH, and UX01G.

Can I use this for heavy brush cutting?

For lighter brush, the nylon line can be effective. For tougher tasks, an optional 255mm plastic blade is available and recommended.

Does this attachment come with a powerhead?

Troubleshooting

Attachment not locking onto powerhead

Ensure the connection points on both the attachment and the powerhead are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using a compatible Makita powerhead model.

Nylon line not feeding

Tap the cutting head firmly on the ground while the unit is running to advance the line. If the line is tangled or worn, you may need to manually re-feed or replace the line spool.

Poor cutting performance

Check if the nylon line or optional blade is worn or damaged. Ensure the cutting head is clear of obstructions. If using the plastic blade, confirm it is securely attached.

Attachment difficult to remove

Ensure the red release button is fully depressed while pulling the attachment away. Check that no debris is obstructing the release mechanism.
