Only one release tab on this (same) model. Possibly says push and turn but impossible to read after a little use. Either way, cannot remove the head. Thumbs down.
@martincarlberg9671 Point your chainsaw had a piece of cardboard and engage the power and see if it sprays onto the cardboard if it sprays a nice light spray then your good. You just don’t want to have it coding the cardboard and like two or three seconds it needs to lightly coat the cardboard in 4-5 seconds
really for the average DIY / Builder this tool is useless after the 1st set of blades have gone.. everytime I tried to change the blades I find that that parts of the holding plate are bent. It's absolutely impossible to get the blades adjusted and back so that it cuts smoothly and evenly.. I could literally be there all week and still not get it right... already spent too much money on replacement parts and ready to just give it up now. Maybe something for profi carpenters and machinists only...
The models that use the blue translucent dust collector bodies, suffer from cracking around the nozzle, where the extension tube slips in. Mine is only 2 months old, and has many cracks already. No doubt the warrant claim will be honoured, but the replacement will do the same thing unless there is a revised part. I noticed that the opaque bodies don't seem to have the issue, at least not that I have found so far.
Why are the blades so small and fragile? Surely there’s a simpler fix?? And the adjusting screws are made from toffee. Be warned, apply release agent first!
Nice job on using dark string on the black background and zooming out the video. Makita is now light years behind their competition on trimmers. On my EGO trimmer with power loading, all I need to do is to push the string through a hole in the spinner and then press a button, and it will rewind and readjust properly by itself. Takes 15 seconds to restring it, including the time to cut the string. No need to disassemble anything or try to remember which way to rotate the string, etc.
For chrissakes, just VACUUM the mess and be done already. All these things do is make the mess go airborne and you still have to clean up the debris that you're moving across the shop.
Having had this Makita planer and unable to the new placement blade in position many times so decided to use a little plumber's putty on top so it would not move on the plate. Worked first time from a diyer.
