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 spe-
cially 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.
• Multilevel air Þ lter system with turbo-cyclone Þ lter for depen-
dable function even under very dusty conditions.
• The Featherlight-Start system lets you start the cutter effort-
lessly with a spring-loaded starting assist.
• Extensive range of resin-bonded and diamond grit cutting
discs.
