Makita · Power Tool Manual
If the machine consistently fails to quickly stop the mower blades after releasing the switch lever, there may be an issue with the electric brake.
Click steps to track your progress.
Unplug the machine from its power source, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in securely.
Examine the entire power cord for any visible damage, cuts, or loose connections at both the tool and the wall outlet.
Verify the wall outlet is working by plugging in another device. Also, check your home's circuit breaker to ensure it hasn't tripped.
If the blades still fail to stop quickly after these steps, please contact Makita customer service or a qualified service technician for further assistance.
