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 filter system with turbo-cyclone filter for depen-
dable function even under very dusty conditions.

lessly with a spring-loaded starting assist.

discs.
