Packing
Your MAKITA Power Cut is packed in a cardboard box to pre-
vent shipping damage.
Cardboard is a basic raw material and is consequently reuseable
or suitable for recycling (waste paper recycling).
Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!
Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA Power Cut cutoff saw!
We are condent that you will be satised with this modern
piece of equipment. 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-lter system for reliable working even under
very dusty conditions.
• Two options for mounting the cutter attachment: Either cen-
trally, for good balance when guiding the unit manually, or on
the side, for ush cuts along walls or curbsides or horizontally
directly above the ground.
•
Extensive range of resin-bonded and diamond grit cutting
discs, trolley with dust catcher, and systems for supplying
water to the disc.
The following industrial property rights apply:

We want you to be satised 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 rst time,
and strictly observe the safety regulations! Failure to obser-
ve these precautions can lead to severe injury or death!
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding sawing, grin-
ding, 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 lter out microscopic particles.
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the emission
Compliance label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet federal emissions
requirements.
Category C= 50 hours, B= 125 hours, and A= 300 hours.
