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.

The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of contact

throwsfragmentsout ofthecutgrooveat high speed. For your

safety, swing the protection hood down as far as possible

behind the cut

(23),

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.

NOTE:

For long, straight cuts we recommend using a trolley (24, see also

"SPECIAL ACCESSORIES"). This makes it much easier

guide

the unit straight.

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, sim-

ply make a shallow groove, and then knock off the excess

material cleanly on a flat surface (25).

CAREFUL!

When cutting into lengths, cutting through material, making cut-

outs, etc., always make sure

plan the direction and sequence

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 muffler (burn hazard!)

When moving the Power Cut over longer distances, use a

wheelbarrow or wagon. Avoid carrying the unit if possible.

When transporting the Power Cut in a vehicle, make sure it is

securely positioned in such a way that

fuel can leak out.

Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in

a vehicle.

The Power Cut should be stored safely in

dry place.

must

not be left outdoors! Always dismount the cutting disc before

storage.

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.

Store them lying down flat.

Avoid dampness, moisture, high temperatures, and drastic

temperature fluctuations.

Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have

been in storage to make sure that they are free of defects.
