- Asbestos and other materials that can release toxins may be cut only with the necessary safety precautions and after notiÞ cation of the proper authorities and under their supervision or that of a person appointed by them.
- The use of dust-reduction devices is urgently recommended
(see Accessories, pressure water tank, water tank).
Protective equipment
- In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot injuries as well as to protect your hearing the following protective equipment must be used during operation of the Power Cut:
- The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e. it should be tight-
Þ tting but not be a hindrance. Clothing in which grains of material can accumulate (trousers with cuffs, jackets and trousers with wide-open pockets, etc.) must not be worn, particularly when cutting metal.
- Do not wear any jewellery or clothing that can get caught or distract from the operation of the Power Cut.
- It is necessary to wear a protective helmet whenever working with the Power Cut. The protective helmet (A) is to be checked in regular intervals for damage and is to be replaced after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved protective helmets.

soles, and leg protectors when working with the Power Cut.
Safety shoes equipped with a protective layer provide protection against cuts and ensure a secure footing.
- Always wear a work suit (H) of tough material with sufÞ cient
ß ame-retardant qualities whenever working with the cutoff saw.
Fuels / Refuelling
- Go to a safe, level place before refuelling. Never refuel while on scaffolding, on heaps of material, or in similar places!
- Switch off the engine before refuelling the Power Cut.
- Do not smoke or work near open Þ res (6).
- Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
- Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear protective gloves when refuelling (not the regular work gloves!).
Frequently clean and change protective clothes. Do not breathe in fuel vapors. Inhalation of fuel vapours can be hazardous to your health.
- Do not spill fuel. If a spill occurs, clean off the Power Cut immediately. Fuel should not come in contact with clothes. If your clothes have come in contact with fuel, change them at once.
- Ensure that no fuel oozes into the soil (environmental protection).
Use an appropriate base.
- Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will accumulate near the ß oor (explosion hazard).

- Before starting the engine, move to a location at least 3 meters
(approx. 3 1/4 yards) from where you fuelled the Power Cut
(7), but not within the extended swing range of the cutting disc
(direction of sparks).
- Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only as much as will be consumed in the near future.
- When making up the gasoline/oil mixture, always put the oil in the mixing container Þ rst, and then the gasoline.
- Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and storage of fuel.
- Keep fuel away from children!
Putting into operation
- Do not work on your own. There must be someone around
in case of an emergency (within shouting distance).
- Observe all anti-noise regulations when working in residential areas.
- Never use the Power Cut near inß ammable materials or explosive gases! The Power Cut can create sparks leading to Þ re or explosion!
- Make sure that all persons within 30 meters (33 yards), such as other workers, are wearing protective gear (see "Protective
Equipment") (8). Children and other unauthorized persons must remain more than 30 meters away from the working area. Keep an eye out for animals as well (9).
- Before starting work the Power Cut must be checked for perfect function and operating safety according to the pre-
scriptions. In particular, make sure that the cutting wheel is in good condition(replace immediately if torn, damaged or bent), the cutting wheel is properly mounted, the protective hood is locked in place, the hand guard is properly mounted, the throttle moves easily and the half-throttle lock button functions properly, the grips are clean and dry, and the combination switch functions properly (Start/Stop (I/O) switch, choke).
- Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspection. Never use the Power Cut when it is not completely assembled.

Cutoff discs
- The protection hood must always be on! Change discs only with the engine off!
- There are two basic types of cutoff discs:
- For metal (hot cutting)
- For masonry (cold cutting)
NOTE:
When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe the "direction of rotation" markings. Diamond discs should only be used for cutting masonry/brick/ concrete etc.
- Cutoff discs are intended only for radial loading, i.e. for cutting.
Do not grind with the sides of the cutting disc! This will break the disc (10)!
Caution!
Never change direction (turning radius less than 5 meters /
5 1/2 yards), exert lateral (sideways) pressure, or tip the Power
Cut during cutting (11)!
- Use a cutting disc only for cutting the materials it is intended for. The proper type of disc must be used, for either metals or masonry.
- The arbor hole of the cutting disc must be an exact Þ t with the arbor or shaft. If the arbor hole is larger, it must be Þ tted with an adapter ring (available as an accessory).
- The cutting disc must be rated for freehand cutting at up to 4370 rpm or 80 m/sec for 350 mm discs, or up to 5100 rpm or 80 m/s for 300 mm discs. Use only cutting discs that comply with EN
12413, EN 13236.
- The disc must be free of defects (12). Do not use defective cutting discs.
Always tighten the cutting disc mounting bolt to a torque of 30
Nm. Otherwise, the cutting disc can twist.
- Before starting the cutting disc, make sure you have a steady footing.
- Put the Power Cut into operation only as described in this instruction manual (13). Always place your left foot in the rear handle and grasp the other handle Þ rmly (with thumb and Þ ngers). Other starting methods are not allowed.
- When starting the Power Cut it must be well supported and securely held. The cutting disc must not be touching anything.
- If the cutting disc is new, test it by running it at least 60 seconds at top speed. When doing this, make sure that no persons or body parts are in the extended swing range of the disc, in case it is defective and ß ies apart.
- When working with the Power Cut always hold it with both
hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your thumbs facing your Þ ngers.
- CAUTION: When you release the throttle lever the disc will
keep spinning for a short period of time (free-wheeling effect).
- Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
- Hold the Power Cut such that you will not breathe in the exhaust gas. Do not work in closed rooms or in deep holes or ditches
(danger of poisoning by fumes).
- Switch off the Power Cut immediately if you observe any changes in its operating behavior.
- Switch off engine before refuelling, changing the cutoff disc, work breaks, transporting or moving the Power Cut, taking it out of operation, or dealing with malfunctions. Before any maintenance work, move the combination switch to the lock symbol (14).
- Turn off the engine immediately and check the disc if you hear or feel any change in cutting behaviour.
- Turn off the Power Cut when taking a break or stopping work
(14). Place the unit in such a way that the disc is not touching anything and cannot endanger anyone.
- Do not put the overheated Power Cut in dry grass or on any inß ammable objects. The mufß er is very hot (danger of Þ re).
- IMPORTANT: After wet cutting, Þ rst turn off the water feed and then let the disc run at least 30 seconds, to ß ing off the remaining water and prevent corrosion.

Kickback and lock-in
- When working with the Power Cut there is a danger of kickback and lock-in.
- Kickback occurs when the top of the cutting disc is used for cutting (15).
- This causes the Power Cut to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control. Risk of injury!
To prevent kickback, observe the following:
- Never cut with the section of the cutting disc shown in Þ gure 15.
Be especially careful when reinserting the disc into cuts that have already been started!
- Lock-in occurs when the cut narrows (crack, or workpiece under stress).
- This causes the Power Cut to suddenly jump forward, out of control and with great force. Risk of injury!
To prevent lock-in, observe the following:
- When reinserting the disc into previous cuts, have the Power
Cut running at top speed. Always cut at top speed.
- Always support the workpiece so that the cut is under tension
(16), so that the cut does not press together and jam the cutting disc as it proceeds through the material.
- When starting a cut, apply the disc to the workpiece with care.
Do not just shove it into the material.
- Never cut more than one piece at a time! When cutting, make sure that no other workpiece comes into contact.
Working behavior / Method of working
- Before starting work, check the work area for any hazards
(electrical wires, inß ammable substances). Clearly mark the work area (for example with warning signs or by cordoning off the area).
- When working with the Power Cut hold it Þ rmly by the front and rear handles. Never leave the Power Cut unattended!
- Use the Power Cut at high speed as far as possible (see “Technical Data”).
- Only use the Power Cut during good light and visibility periods.
Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of slipping).
- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure that you have a safe footing.
- Never cut above your shoulder height (17).
- Never stand on a ladder to cut (17).
- Never use the Power Cut while standing on scaffolding.
- Do not lean over too far when working. When putting down and picking up the Power Cut, do not bend over from the waist, but instead bend in the knees. Save your back!
- Guide the Power Cut in such a way that no part of your body is within the extended swing range of the disc (18).
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are designed!
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are designed. Do not use the Power Cut to lift up and shovel away pieces of material and other objects.
Important! Before cutting, remove all foreign objects, such as rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area. Otherwise, such objects can be ß ung away by the disc with great speed. Injury hazard!
- When cutting workpieces down to length use a Þ rm support.
If necessary, secure the workpiece from slipping, but do not steady it with your foot or allow another person to hold it.
- When cutting round items, always secure them against rotation.

When using synthetic resin cutting discs, always observe the following:
CAUTION:
- Synthetic resin cutting discs can absorb moisture. This moisture can cause the disc to become unbalanced at high speed. This imbalance can cause the disc to break.
- Do not cool resin cutting discs with water or other ß uids.
- Do not expose resin cutting discs to high humidity or rain!
Do not use resin cutting discs past their use-by date (expiration date)! The date (quarter and year) is stamped on the disc’s arbor ring.
EXAMPLE: 04 / 2013
This cutting disc can be used through the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, if properly stored and correctly used.
Cutting metals
IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Materials that can release toxic substances may be cut only after notifying the proper authorities and under their supervision or that of a person appointed by them.
CAUTION!
The rapid rotation of the cutting disc heats metal and melts it at the point of contact. Swing the guard as far down as pos-
sible (19) in order to direct the stream of sparks forward, away
from the operator (Þ re hazard).
- Determine the cut line, mark the cut and apply the disc to the material at moderate speed, to cut a guide groove before going to top speed and applying more pressure to the Power Cut.
- Keep the disc straight and vertical. Do not tip it, as this can break it.
- The best way to get a good, clean cut is to pull or move the
Power Cut back and forth. Do not simply press the disc into the material.
- Thick round stock is best cut in stages (20).
- Thin tubing and pipes can be cut with a simple downward cut.
- Cut large-diameter pipes as for round stock. To prevent tipping and for better control, do not let the disc sink too deeply into the material. Instead, always cut shallow around the whole piece.
- Worn discs have a smaller diameter than new discs, so that at the same engine speed they have a lower effective circumferential speed and therefore do not cut as well.
- Cut I-beams and L-bars in steps; see Figure 21.
- Cut bands and plates like pipes: along the wide side with a long cut.
- When cutting material under stress (supported material or material in structures), always make a notch in the thrust (pressure) side, and then cut from the tension side, so that the disc does not lock in. Secure cutoff material from falling!
CAUTION!
If there is a chance that the material is under stress, be prepared for it to kick back. Make sure you can get out of the way if you have to!
Be particularly careful in scrap-metal yards, junkyards, at accident sites, and with haphazard piles of material. Precariously balanced pieces or pieces under stress can act in unpredictable ways, and may slide, jump out, or burst. Secure cutoff material from falling! Always exercise extreme caution and use only equipment that is in perfect working order.
Observe the accident-prevention rules and regulations of your employer and/or insurance organization.
Cutting masonry and concrete
IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Asbestos and other materials that can release toxic substances may be cut only after notifying the proper authorities and under their supervision or that of a person appointed by them. When cutting prestressed and reinforced concrete piles, follow the instructions and standards of the responsible authorities or the builder of the structural member.
Reinforcement rods must be cut in the prescribed sequence and in accordance with applicable safety regulations.
NOTE:
Mortar, stone, and concrete develop large quantities of dust during cutting. To increase the lifetime of the cutting disc (by cooling), to improve visibility, and to avoid excessive dust creation, we strongly recommend wet cutting instead of dry cutting.

In wet cutting, the disc is wetted at an equal rate on both sides by a trickle of water. MAKITA offers the right accessories for all wet cutting applications (see also "SPECIAL ACCESSORIES").
- Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails found within the working area. Caution: Watch out for electric wires and cables!
The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of contact throws fragments out of the cut groove at high speed. For your safety, swing the protection hood down as far as pos-
sible (23), so that material fragments are thrown forward, away from the operator.
- Mark the cut, and then make a groove about 5 mm (just under
1/5") along the entire length of the planned cut. This groove will then guide the Power Cut accurately guring the actual cutoff.
- Perform the cut with a steady back-and-forth motion.
- When cutting slabs to size, you need not cut through the entire material thickness (creating unnecessary dust). Instead, simply make a shallow groove, and then knock off the excess material cleanly on a ß at surface (25).
CAREFUL!
When cutting into lengths, cutting through material, making cutouts, etc., always make sure to plan the direction and sequence of cuts in such a way that the disc does not get jammed by the cut-off piece, and that no persons can be injured by falling pieces.
Transport and storage
- Always turn off the Power Cut when transporting it or
moving it from place to place on a site (26).
- Never carry or move the unit with the engine on or the disc moving!
- Carry the unit only by the tubular (middle) handle with the cutting disc pointing behind you (26). Avoid touching the exhaust mufß er (burn hazard!)
- When moving the Power Cut over longer distances, use a wheelbarrow or wagon.
- When transporting the Power Cut in a vehicle, make sure it is securely positioned in such a way that no fuel can leak out.
Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in a vehicle.
- The Power Cut should be stored safely in a dry place. It must not be left outdoors! Always dismount the cutting disc before storage. Keep the Power Cut away from children.
- Before long-term storage and before shipping the Power
Cut, follow the instructions in the chapter on "Periodic care and maintenance". ALWAYS empty the fuel tank and run the carburetor dry.
- When putting cutting discs in storage, be careful to:
• Clean and dry them well. CAUTION: Do NOT clean synthetic resin cutting discs with water or other ß uids!
• Store them lying down ß at.
• Avoid dampness, freezing temperatures, direct sunshine, high temperatures and temperature ß uctuations, as these can cause breakage and splintering.
• Before re-using a resin cutting disc, make sure of the use-by
(expiration) date (quarter and year, stamped on the arbor ring). If this date has been exceeded, do NOT use the cutting disc.
- Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have
been in storage to make sure that they are free of defects
and before the Þ rst cut test-run the tool at top speed for at least 60 seconds. Keep body parts and people well away out of range of the direction of the cutting disc during this test.

Maintenance
- Before performing maintenance work switch off the Power
Cut (27) and pull out the plug cap.
- Always check the Power Cut before using it to make sure that it is in good working order. In particular, make sure that the cutting disc is properly mounted. Make sure that the cutting wheel is undamaged and suitable for the job it will be used for.
- Operate the Power Cut only at a low noise and emission level.
For this ensure the carburetor is adjusted correctly.
- Clean the Power Cut regularly.
- Check the fuel tank cap regularly for good sealing.
Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by trade associations and insurance companies. NEVER make any modiÞ cations to the Power Cut! You will only be putting your own safety at risk!
Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in the instruction manual. All other work must be carried out by
MAKITA Service.
Use only original MAKITA spares and accessories.
The use of non-MAKITA spares, accessories, or cutting discs increases the risk of accident. We cannot accept any responsibility for accidents or damage occurring in association with the use of cutting discs or accessories other than original
MAKITA.
First aid
For the event of a possible accident, please make sure that a
Þ rst aid kit is always immediately available close by. Immediately replace any items used from the Þ rst aid box.
When calling for help, give the following information:
- Place of the accident
- What happened
- Number of injured people
- Kind of injuries
NOTE
Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive vibration may experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous system.
Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in the Þ ngers, hands or wrists: ”Falling asleep” (numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin colour or of the skin. If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

PUTTING INTO OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always turn off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap before doing any work on the Power Cut! Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION:
Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspection.
For the the following work, use the assembly tools included with delivery:
1. 13/19 AF combination wrench
2. Allen key
3. Carburetor adjustment screwdriver
Place the Power Cut on a stable surface and carry out the following assembly steps:
Mounting the cutting disc
Inspect the disc for damage.
See SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Page 6.
Unscrew screw (9) and remove the spring washer (8).
Place the cutting disc (5) on the arbour (7).
NOTE: The arbor hole of the cutting disc must be an exact Þ t with the arbor or shaft.
For cutoff discs with 25.4 mm (1”) arbor holes, use the correct size disc holder (supplied only with cutoff discs with 25.4 mm
(1”) arbor holes).
Make sure the cutting disc is installed so it turns in the right direction, if a direction is marked on the disc.

Fuel
CAUTION:
This saw is powered by mineral-oil products (gasoline and oil).
Be especially careful when handling gasoline.
Avoid all ß ame or Þ re. Do not smoke (explosion hazard).
Fuel mixture
This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled twostroke engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil.
The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a min. octane value of 91 ROZ. In case no such fuel is available, you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect the engine.
In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protect your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only.
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke aircooled engines (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), which has to be added to the fuel. The engine has been designed for use of MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only 50:1 to protect the environment. In addition, a long service life and reliable operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases are ensured.
MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available in the following sizes to suit your individual requirements:
100 ml order number 980 008 606
1 l order number 980 008 607
In case MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is not available, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio of
50:1 with other two-stroke engine oils (quality grade: JASO FC or
ISO EGD), as otherwise optimum operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.
Caution: Do not use ready-mixed fuel from petrol stations.
The correct mixture ratio:
50:1 when using MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil, i. e. mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.
50:1 when using other synthetic two-stroke engine oils
(quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), i. e. mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture Þ rst mix the entire oil quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly shake the mixture before Þ lling it into the chain saw tank.
Caution: Open the tank cap carefully, as pressure might have built up inside!

It is not wise to add more engine oil than speciÞ ed to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a higher production of combus-tion residues which will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the mufß er. In addition, fuel consumption will rise and performance will decrease.
The Storage of Fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures age through evaporation, especially at high temperatures. Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting problems and damage the engine.
Purchase only that amount of fuel, which will be consumed over the next few months. At high temperatures, once fuel has been mixed it should be used up in 6-8 weeks.
Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool, secure locations!
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water. If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
Refuelling
IMPORTANT:
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be turned off and cooled down!
Carefully clean the area around the fuel-tank Þ ller neck to keep dirt from getting in the tank.
Place the Power Cut on an even surface.
Unscrew the tank cap and Þ ll tank with fuel mixture. Take care to avoid spilling.
Screw the tank cap back on hand-tight.
Clean screw cap and tank after refuelling. Never start or operate the Power Cut in the same place as it was fuelled!
If fuel gets on your clothing, change clothes immediately.

Adjusting the carburetor
NOTE: The grinding parts are equipped with an electronic ignition to limit the speed.
At the factory the idling speed has been set to approx.
2600 rpm, but the running-in process of a new engine may require slight readjustment of the idling speed.
Adjustments to the adjusting screws (L) and (H) may only be made by an authorised MAKITA service centre.
For correct adjustment of the idling speed the following steps must be carried out:
Start the engine and run it until it is warm (about 3 - 5 minutes).
Adjust the carburetor with the screwdriver (7, Order No. 944
340 001) included with the Power Cut. It has a lug that helps with adjustment.
Readjust the idling speed.
If the cutoff disc turns when the engine is idling, turn the throttle stop screw (T) counter-clockwise in small increments until the disc no longer turns.
If the engine suddenly stops in idle, turn the screw back slightly clockwise.
Switch off the engine.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before doing any work on the Power Cut turn off the engine, remove the cutting disc, pull the plug cap off the spark plug and wear protective gloves!
CAUTION:
Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspection.

SERVICE
IMPORTANT:
Because many of the parts and assemblies not mentioned in this Instruction Manual are vital to the safety of the unit, and because all parts are subject to a certain amount of wear and tear, it is important for your own safety that you have the unit checked and maintained regularly by a
MAKITA service center.
IMPORTANT:
If the cutting wheel breaks during cutting, the
Power Cut must be repaired by a MAKITA service centre before being used again!

Note: The V-belt is highly elastic, so it is not necessary to retighten it.
A worn V-belt causes the cutoff disc turns at the lowest idle speed. In this case, the V-belt must be replaced!
Cleaning the protection hood
Over time, the inside of the protective hood can become caked with material residue (especially from wet cutting), which if allowed to accumulate can hinder the free rotation of the cutting disc. For this reason the hood must be cleaned out from time to time.
Take off the cutting wheel with spring washer and remove the accumulated material from inside the hood with a strip of wood or similar implement.
Clean the shaft and all removed parts.
NOTE: To install the cutting wheel see ”Mounting the cutting wheel”.
Cleaning / changing the air Þ lter
CAUTION:
Turn off the engine before cleaning the air Þ lter! Never clean out the air Þ lter with compressed air! Do not use fuel to clean the air Þ lter insert (3) and inner Þ lter (6).
The service life of the engine depends on the condition and regular maintenance of the Þ lter elements. Failure to perform maintenance and cleaning at the prescribed intervals will cause increased wear inside the engine!
If the air Þ lter becomes damaged, replace immediately!
Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy the engine!
Do not work in dusty conditions when it can be avoided!
The Þ ne dust generated when dry-cutting concrete and stone is hazardous to the health of the operator and also shortens the service life of the engine. Whenever possible, wet-cut with water when working in concrete and stone, to bind the dust.
Loosen both bolts (1) and remove the Þ lter cover (2).
Take the air Þ lter cover (3) out of the cover (5).
Loosen the six bolts (4) on the cover and remove the cover.
Remove the inner Þ lter (6).
When reassembling, make sure that the two lugs (7) of the
Þ lter cover engage in the cover (5).
Inner Þ lter
Wash out the dirty inner Þ lter (6, Order No. 315 173 020) in lukewarm soapy water with regular dishwashing liquid.
Let the inner Þ lter dry thoroughly.
Air Þ lter insert (paper cartridge)
The air Þ lter insert (3, Order No. 315 173 010) Þ lters the intake air through a very Þ ne paper Þ lter lamella system. For this reason the cartridge must never be washed or cleaned with compressed air. Clean the air Þ lter insert once per month.
To clean the air Þ lter insert, spread it out slightly and carefully tap it against a clean surface.
Replace the air Þ lter insert every 500 operating hours. Replace it immediately if there is a drop in power, drop in speed, or smoke in the exhaust.
Before installing the Þ lter system, check the intake opening to make sure no dirt particles have fallen in. If they have, remove them.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES
Diamond cutting discs
MAKITA diamond cutting discs meet the highest demands in working safety, ease of operation, and economical cutting performance. They can be used for cutting all materials
except metal.
The high durability of the diamond grains ensures low wear and thereby a very long service life with almost no change in disc diameter over the lifetime of the disc. This gives consistent cutting performance and thus high economy. The outstanding cutting qualities of the discs make cutting easier.
The metal disc plates give highly concentric running for minimal vibration during use.
The use of diamond cutting discs reduces cutting time signiÞ cantly. This in turn leads to lower operating costs (fuel consumption, wear on parts, repairs, and last but not least environmental damage).
Pressurized water tank
To keep down dust and for better cutting-disc cooling, MAKITA offers several options for wetting the disc during operation.
The pressurized water tank is connected to the Power Cut by the water set on the protective hood.
See “Accessories” for order number.
