FAQs
How do I advance the cutting line?
The Makita UR3501 uses a bump feed mechanism. Simply tap the trimmer head on the ground while the trimmer is running to release more line.
What type of power supply does the trimmer require?
The trimmer requires a 240v power supply, which is standard in the UK.
How do I replace the cutting line?
Consult the user manual for detailed instructions on replacing the cutting line. Generally, you'll need to open the spool head and wind the new line onto the spool correctly.
What is the cutting diameter?
The cutting diameter of the Makita UR3501 is 350mm.
What should I do if the trimmer overheats?
Stop using the trimmer and allow the motor to cool down. Check for any obstructions that might be causing the motor to work harder than necessary. Ensure proper ventilation around the motor.
Can I use an extension cord?
Yes, you can use an extension cord, but make sure it is rated for the power requirements of the trimmer and is suitable for outdoor use. Always follow safety guidelines to avoid tripping hazards and electrical shock.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product documentation or contact Makita customer service for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Trimmer doesn't start.
Check the power outlet and ensure the cord is properly connected. Verify that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Line doesn't feed.
Tap the bump feed head firmly on the ground while the trimmer is running. If this doesn't work, check for line tangles or spool issues and replace the line.
Trimmer cuts unevenly.
Ensure the trimmer head is level with the ground. Check the line length and replace if necessary. Avoid overloading the trimmer by cutting through thick vegetation at once.
Motor stops during operation.
Allow the motor to cool down. Reduce the cutting load by trimming lighter vegetation. If the problem persists, have the motor checked by a qualified technician.
