Thank you for purchasing a MAKITA product!
Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA Power Cut cutoff saw!
We are confident that you will be satisfied 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-filter 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 flush 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.
