Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!
Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA Power Cut cutoff saw!
Like our chain saws, the MAKITA Power Cuts feature specially
designed high-performance engines with outstanding
power-to-weight ratios, for heavy-duty yet lightweight tools.
Other advantages of the MAKITA Power Cuts:
• Sturdy construction and high reliability.
• Maintenance-free electronic ignition, hermetically sealed to
protect against dust and moisture.
• Vibration damping with the MAKITA 2-mass system (D2M)
for tireless working even when guiding the Power Cut by
hand.
• Five-stage air-filter system for reliable working even under
very dusty conditions.
• Two options for mounting the cutter attachment: Either
centrally, for good balance when guiding the unit manually,
or on the side, for flush cuts along walls or curbsides or
horizontally directly above the ground.
• Extensive line of synthetic-resin and diamond cutting discs,
and trolley with vibration damping, dust catcher, and several
systems for water supply to the cutting disc.
The following industrial property rights apply:
US 08510690, SE 95027298, SE 95027306, IT 95000653,
IT 95000654, GBM 9412558, GBM 9412559.
We want you to be satisfied with your MAKITA product.
In order to guarantee the optimal function and performance of
your Power Cut and to ensure your personal safety we would
request you to perform the following:
Read this Instruction and Safety manual carefully before
putting the Power Cut into operation for the first time,
and strictly observe the safety regulations! Failure to
observe these precautions can lead to severe injury or
death!

Packing
Your MAKITA Power Cut is packed in a cardboard box to
prevent shipping damage.
Cardboard is a basic raw material and is consequently reuse-
able or suitable for recycling (waste paper recycling).
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
