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" markings. Diamond discs should only be
used for cutting masonry/brick/ concrete etc.
-
Cutoff discs are intended only for radial loading, i.e. for cutting.
Do not grind with the sides of the cutting disc! This will break
the disc (10)!
10
Caution!
Never change direction (turning radius less than 5 meters /
5 1/2 yards), exert lateral (sideways) pressure, or tip the Power
Cut during cutting (11)!
-
-
-
Use a cutting disc only for cutting the materials it is intended
for. The proper type of disc must be used, for either metals or
masonry.
The arbor hole of the cutting disc must be an exact Þt with the
arbor or shaft. If the arbor hole is larger, it must be Þtted with an
adapter ring (available as an accessory).
min. 5 m
11
The cutting disc must be rated for freehand cutting at up to 4370
rpm or 80 m/sec for 350 mm discs, or up to 5100 rpm or 80 m/s
for 300 mm discs. Use only cutting discs that comply with EN
12413, EN 13236.
-
The disc must be free of defects (12). Do not use defective cut-
ting discs.
Always tighten the cutting disc mounting bolt to a torque of 30
Nm. Otherwise, the cutting disc can twist.
-
Before starting the cutting disc, make sure you have a steady
footing.
-
PutthePowerCutintooperationonlyasdescribedinthisinstruc-
tion manual (13). Always place your left foot in the rear handle
and grasp the other handle Þrmly (with thumb and Þngers). Other
starting methods are not allowed.
-
-
When starting the Power Cut it must be well supported and
securely held. The cutting disc must not be touching anything.
If the cutting disc is new, test it by running it at least 60 seconds
at top speed. When doing this, make sure that no persons or
body parts are in the extended swing range of the disc, in case
it is defective and ßies apart.
12
-
-
When working with the Power Cut always hold it with both
hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubu-
lar handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your
thumbs facing your Þngers.
CAUTION: When you release the throttle lever the disc will
keep spinning for a short period of time (free-wheeling effect).
-
-
Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
Hold the Power Cut such that you will not breathe in the exhaust
gas. Do not work in closed rooms or in deep holes or ditches
(danger of poisoning by fumes).
-
-
Switch off the Power Cut immediately if you observe any
changes in its operating behavior.

Kickback and lock-in
-
-
-
When working with the Power Cut 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 Cut to be thrown back toward the user
with great force and out of control. Risk of injury!
To prevent kickback, observe the following:
-
Never cut with the section of the cutting disc shown in Þgure 15.
Be especially careful when reinserting the disc into cuts
that have already been started!
15
-
-
Lock-inoccurswhenthecutnarrows(crack,orworkpieceunder
stress).
This causes the Power Cut to suddenly jump forward, out of
control and with great force. Risk of injury!
To prevent lock-in, observe the following:
-
-
When reinserting the disc into previous cuts, have the Power
Cut running at top speed. Always cut at top speed.
Always support the workpiece so that the cut is under tension
(16), so that the cut does not press together and jam the cutting
disc as it proceeds through the material.
-
-
When starting a cut, apply the disc to the workpiece with care.
Do not just shove it into the material.
Never cut more than one piece at a time! When cutting, make
sure that no other workpiece comes into contact.
Working behavior / Method of working
-
Before starting work, check the work area for any hazards
(electrical wires, inßammable substances). Clearly mark the
work area (for example with warning signs or by cordoning off
the area).
16
-
-
-
When working with the Power Cut hold it Þrmly by the front and
rear handles. Never leave the Power Cut unattended!
Use the Power Cut at high speed as far as possible (see “Tech-
nical Data”).
Only use the Power Cut during good light and visibility periods.
Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of
slipping).
-
Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no
obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling.Always ensure
that you have a safe footing.
-
-
-
-
Never cut above your shoulder height (17).
Never stand on a ladder to cut (17).
Never use the Power Cut while standing on scaffolding.
Do not lean over too far when working. When putting down and
picking up the Power Cut, do not bend over from the waist, but
instead bend in the knees. Save your back!
17
-
-
-
Guide the Power Cut in such a way that no part of your body
is within the extended swing range of the disc (18).
Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are de-
signed!
Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are de-
signed. Do not use the Power Cut to lift up and shovel away
pieces of material and other objects.
Important! Before cutting, remove all foreign objects, such as
rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area. Otherwise, such
objects can be ßung away by the disc with great speed. Injury
hazard!
-
-
When cutting workpieces down to length use a Þrm support.
If necessary, secure the workpiece from slipping, but do not
steady it with your foot or allow another person to hold it.
When cutting round items, always secure them against rota-
tion.

When using synthetic resin cutting discs, always ob-
serve the following:
Cutting masonry and concrete
IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
CAUTION:
Asbestos and other materials that can release toxic sub-
stancesmaybecutonlyafternotifyingtheproperauthorities
and under their supervision or that of a person appointed
bythem.Whencuttingprestressedandreinforcedconcrete
piles, follow the instructions and standards of the respon-
sible authorities or the builder of the structural member.
Reinforcementrodsmustbecutintheprescribedsequence
and in accordance with applicable safety regulations.
-
Synthetic resin cutting discs can absorb moisture. This
moisture can cause the disc to become unbalanced at high
speed. This imbalance can cause the disc to break.
-
-
Do not cool resin cutting discs with water or other ßuids.
Do not expose resin cutting discs to high humidity or
rain!
Do not use resin cutting discs past their use-by date (expira-
tion date)! The date (quarter and year) is stamped on the disc’s
arbor ring.
NOTE:
Mortar,stone,andconcretedeveloplargequantitiesofdustduring
cutting. To increase the lifetime of the cutting disc (by cooling),
to improve visibility, and to avoid excessive dust creation, we
strongly recommend wet cutting instead of dry cutting.
EXAMPLE: 04 / 2015
This cutting disc can be used through the end of the fourth quarter
of 2015, if properly stored and correctly used.
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 supervi-
sion 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. Swing the guard as far down as pos-
sible (19) in order to direct the stream of sparks forward, away
from the operator (Þre hazard).
-
Determine the cut line, mark the cut and apply the disc to the
material at moderate speed, to cut a guide groove before going
to top speed and applying more pressure to the Power Cut.
-
-
Keep the disc straight and vertical. Do not tip it, as this can
break it.
The best way to get a good, clean cut is to pull or move the
Power Cut back and forth. Do not simply press the disc into
the material.
19
-
-
Thick round stock is best cut in stages (20).
Thin tubing and pipes can be cut with a simple downward
cut.
-
Cut large-diameter pipes as for round stock. To prevent tipping
and for better control, do not let the disc sink too deeply into
the material. Instead, always cut shallow around the whole
piece.
-
Worn discs have a smaller diameter than new discs, so that at
the same engine speed they have a lower effective circumfer-
ential speed and therefore do not cut as well.
-
-
Cut I-beams and L-bars in steps; see Figure 21.
Cut bands and plates like pipes: along the wide side with a long
cut.
20
-
Whencuttingmaterialunderstress(supportedmaterialormate-
rial in structures), always make a notch in the thrust (pressure)
side, and then cut from the tension side, so that the disc does
not lock in. Secure cutoff material from falling!
CAUTION!
If there is a chance that the material is under stress, be pre-
pared for it to kick back. Make sure you can get out of the
way if you have to!
Be particularly careful in scrap-metal yards, junkyards, at ac-
cidentsites,andwithhaphazardpilesofmaterial.Precariously

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
withintheworkingarea.Caution:Watchoutforelectricwires
and cables!
The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of contact
throws fragments out of the cut groove at high speed. For
your safety, swing the protection hood down as far as pos-
sible (23), so that material fragments are thrown forward,
away from the operator.
23
-
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.
-
-
Perform the cut with a steady back-and-forth motion.
When cutting slabs to size, you need not cut through the entire
materialthickness(creatingunnecessarydust).Instead,simply
make a shallow groove, and then knock off the excess material
cleanly on a ßat surface (25).
CAREFUL!
Whencuttingintolengths,cuttingthroughmaterial,makingcutouts,
etc., always make sure to plan the direction and sequence of 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 cut-
ting disc pointing behind you (26). Avoid touching the exhaust
mufßer (burn hazard!)
25
-
-
When moving the Power Cut over longer distances, use a
wheelbarrow or wagon.
When transporting the Power Cut in a vehicle, make sure it is
securely positioned in such a way that no fuel can leak out.
Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in
a vehicle.
-
-
The Power Cut should be stored safely in a dry place. It must
not be left outdoors! Always dismount the cutting disc before
storage. Keep the Power Cut away from children.
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:
•
Cleananddrythemwell.CAUTION:DoNOTcleansynthetic
resin cutting discs with water or other ßuids!
Store them lying down ßat.
•
•
26
Avoid dampness, freezing temperatures, direct sunshine,
high temperatures and temperature ßuctuations, as these
can cause breakage and splintering.
•
Before re-using a resin cutting disc, make sure of the use-by
(expiration) date (quarter and year, stamped on the arbor
ring). If this date has been exceeded, do NOT use the cutting
disc.
-
Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have
been in storage to make sure that they are free of defects
and before the Þrst cut test-run the tool at top speed for at
least 60 seconds. Keep body parts and people well away out
of range of the direction of the cutting disc during this test.

lowing assembly steps:
Sequence
Mounting the cutting disc
Inspect the disc for damage.
See SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Page 6.
Unscrew screw (9) and remove the spring washer (8).
Place the cutting disc (5) on the arbour (7).
NOTE: The arbor hole of the cutting disc must be an exact Þt
with the arbor or shaft.
For cutoff discs with 25.4 mm (1”) arbor holes, use the cor-
rect size disc holder (supplied only with cutoff discs with 25.4
mm (1”) arbor holes). Non-compliance can cause serious
injury!
Make sure the cutting disc is installed so it turns in the right
direction, if a direction is marked on the disc.

Fuel mixture
+
This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled two-
stroke engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke
engine oil.
The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a min.
octane value of 91 ROZ. In case no such fuel is available, you
can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect the
engine.

(10 litre)
In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protect
your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only.
It is not wise to add more engine oil than speciÞed
to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a
higher production of combustion residues which
will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust
channel in the cylinder as well as the mufßer. In ad-
dition, fuel consumption will rise and performance
will decrease.
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke air-
cooled engines (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), which
has to be added to the fuel. The engine has been designed for
use of MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil and a
mixture ratio of only 50:1 to protect the environment. In addition,
a long service life and reliable operation with a minimum emission
of exhaust gases are ensured.
MAKITAhigh-performance two-stroke engine oil is available in the
following sizes to suit your individual requirements:
The Storage of Fuel
Fuelshavealimitedstoragelife. Fuelandfuelmixtures
age through evaporation, especially at high tempera-
tures. Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting
problems and damage the engine.

l
Purchase only that amount of fuel, which will be consu-
med over the next few months. At high temperatures,
once fuel has been mixed it should be used up in 6-8
weeks.
In case MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is not
available, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio of
50:1 with other two-stroke engine oils (quality grade: JASO FC or
ISO EGD), as otherwise optimum operation of the engine cannot
be guaranteed.
Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool,
secure locations!
Caution: Do not use ready-mixed fuel from petrol stations.
The correct mixture ratio:
50:1 when using MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine
oil, i. e. mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.
50:1 when using other synthetic two-stroke engine oils
(quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), i. e. mix 50 parts
gasoline with 1 part oil.
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin
comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and
for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various
skin deseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions
are known to occur.
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture Þrst mix the entire oil
quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining
fuel. Thoroughly shake the mixture before Þlling it into the chain
saw tank.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into
youreyes,immediatelywashthemwithclearwater.Ifyour
eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
Caution: Open the tank cap carefully, as pressure might have
built up inside!

Cleaning the protection hood
Over time, the inside of the protective hood can become caked
with material residue (especially from wet cutting), which if
allowed to accumulate can hinder the free rotation of the cut-
ting disc. For this reason the hood must be cleaned out from
time to time.
Take off the cutting wheel with spring washer and remove the
accumulated material from inside the hood with a strip of wood
or similar implement.
NOTE: To install the cutting wheel see ”Mounting the cutting
wheel”.
Clean the shaft and all removed parts.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES
Diamond cutting discs
Pressurized water tank
To keep down dust and for better cutting-disc cooling, MAKITA
offers several options for wetting the disc during operation.
MAKITA diamond cutting discs meet the highest demands
in working safety, ease of operation, and economical cut-
ting performance. They can be used for cutting all materials
except metal.
The pressurized water tank is connected to the Power Cut by
the water set on the protective hood.
The high durability of the diamond grains ensures low wear
and thereby a very long service life with almost no change in
disc diameter over the lifetime of the disc. This gives consistent
cutting performance and thus high economy. The outstanding
cutting qualities of the discs make cutting easier.
See “Accessories” for order number.
The metal disc plates give highly concentric running for minimal
vibration during use.
The use of diamond cutting discs reduces cutting time sig-
niÞcantly. This in turn leads to lower operating costs (fuel
consumption, wear on parts, repairs, and last but not least
