SAFETY PRECAUTIONS General precautions The operator MUST read this instruction manual to ensure safe operation (even if you already have experience in using cutoff saws). It is important to be familiar with the operation of this particular cutoff saw. Users insufficiently informed will endanger themselves as well as others due to improper handling.
Always wear safety shoes or boots (G) with steel toes, non-skid soles, and leg protectors when working with the Power Cutter. Safety shoes equipped with a protective layer provide protection against cuts and ensure a secure footing. Always wear a work suit (H) of sturdy material.
Cutoff discs The protection hood must always be on! Change discs only with the engine off! There are two basic types of cutoff discs: For metal (hot cutting) For masonry (cold cutting) NOTE: When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe the “direction of rotation”...
Kickback and lock-in When working with the Power Cutter there is a danger of kickback and lock-in. Kickback occurs when the top of the cutting disc is used for cutting (15). This causes the Power Cutter to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control.
Cutting metals IMPORTANT! Always wear approved respiratory protection! Materials that can release toxic substances may be cut only after notifying the proper authorities and under their supervision or that of a person appointed by them. CAUTION: The rapid rotation of the cutting disc heats metal and melts it at the point of contact.
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.
All other work must be carried out by MAKITA Service (28). Use only original MAKITA spares and accessories. The use of non-MAKITA spares, accessories, or cutting discs increases the risk of accident. We cannot accept any responsibility for accidents or damage occurring in association with the use of cutting discs or accessories other than original MAKITA.
PUTTING INTO OPERATION CAUTION: Always turn off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap before doing any work on the Power Cutter! Always wear protective gloves! CAUTION: Start the Power Cutter only after complete assembly and inspection. For the following work, use the assembly tools included with delivery: 1.
Tightening the V-belt / Checking V-belt tension IMPORTANT: Exact V-belt tension is essential for maximum cutting performance with minimum fuel consumption. Improper V-belt tension will result in premature wear to the V-belt and V-belt wheel or damage to the clutch bearing. NOTE: The two hex.
