168526-9 Makita Cup

The cup is part of the metal blade on a bush cutter. It is secured to the blade with a hex lock nut and clamp washer. To access this part, turn the machine upside down, insert a hex wrench through the hole in the gear case and rotate the receiver washer until it is locked with the hex wrench. Now loosen the nut with the socket wrench and remove the nut and cup. If the cup is damaged, this is the replacement part you will need. Always wear protective gloves when doing repairs that involve the cutter blade.
