Congratulations on choosing a MAKITA Power Cut cutoff saw! 
Like our chain saws, the MAKITA Power Cuts feature spe-

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.

• Multilevel air Þ lter system with turbo-cyclone Þ lter for depen-

dable function even under very dusty conditions.

•  The Featherlight-Start system lets you start the cutter effort-

lessly with a spring-loaded starting assist.

•  Extensive range of resin-bonded and diamond grit cutting 

discs.
