What to do if the cutter blade of my Makita Brush Cutter does not rotate?

  Shawn DuncanAug 8, 2025
  If the cutter blade on your Makita Brush Cutter isn't rotating, stop the engine immediately. Here's what to check: * **Blade-tightening nut:** Ensure the cutter blade-tightening nut is securely tightened. * **Obstructions:** Check for and remove any twigs or foreign matter caught by the cutter blade or dispersion-preventing cover. If the issue persists after checking these, the drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

What to do if my Makita Brush Cutter engine stops soon after starting or the engine speed doesn't increase?

  Bonnie PerezAug 27, 2025
  If your Makita Brush Cutter's engine stops shortly after starting or fails to reach the proper speed, consider these possible causes: * **Warm-up:** Ensure you perform the warm-up operation. * **Choke lever:** Check that the choke lever is set to “OPEN” if the engine is already warm. * **Fuel filter:** A clogged fuel filter can cause these issues; clean it to resolve the problem. * **Air cleaner:** A contaminated or clogged air cleaner may also be the cause; clean it. * **Other issues:** If the problem persists, the carburetor or drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

Why won't my Makita Brush Cutter engine start?
- S
  Samuel MaysNov 16, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your Makita Brush Cutter from starting. Here's what to check: * **Primer pump:** Ensure you've pushed it 7 to 10 times. * **Starter rope:** Pull the rope strongly. * **Fuel:** Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel filter isn't clogged. Clean the filter if necessary. Also, check for a broken fuel tube and straighten it if needed. Replace deteriorated fuel, as it makes starting difficult (recommended replacement is every 1 month). * **Spark plug:** Verify the plug cap is securely attached, and clean the spark plug if it's contaminated. Adjust the spark plug clearance if it's abnormal, or replace the spark plug if there is another abnormality. * **Excessive suction of fuel:** Set the throttle lever from medium to high speed, and pull the start...
