9In wet cutting, the disc is wetted at an equal rate on both sides by a trickle ofwater. 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 workingarea. CAUTION: Watch out for electric wires and cables!The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of contact throws fragmentsout of the cut groove at high speed. For your safety, swing the protectionhood down as far as possible behind the cut (23), so that material fragmentsare thrown forward, away from the operator.- Mark the cut, and then make a groove about 5 mm (just under 1/5”) along theentire length of the planned cut. This groove will then guide the Power Cutteraccurately guring the actual cutoff.NOTE:For long, straight cuts we recommend using a trolley (24, see also “SPECIALACCESSORIES”). This makes it much easier to guide the unit straight.- Perform the cut with a steady back-and-forth motion.- When cutting slabs to size, you need not cut through the entire material thickness(creating unnecessary dust). Instead, simply make a shallow groove, and thenknock off the excess material cleanly on a flat surface (25).CAREFUL!When cutting into lengths, cutting through material, making cutouts, etc., alwaysmake sure to plan the direction and sequence of cuts in such a way that the discdoes not get jammed by the cut-off piece, and that no persons can be injured byfalling pieces.Transport and storage- Always turn off the Power Cutter when transporting it or moving it fromplace 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 cutting disc pointingbehind you (26). Avoid touching the exhaust muffler (burn hazard!)- When moving the Power Cutter over longer distances, use a wheelbarrow orwagon.- When transporting the Power Cutter in a vehicle, make sure it is securelypositioned in such a way that no fuel can leak out.Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in a vehicle.- The Power Cutter should be stored safely in a dry place. It must not be leftoutdoors! Always dismount the cutting disc before storage. Keep the PowerCutter away from children.- Before long-term storage and before shipping the Power Cutter, follow theinstructions in the chapter on “Storage”. ALWAYS empty the fuel tank andrun the carburetor dry.- When putting cutting discs in storage, be careful to:- Clean and dry them well.- Store them lying down flat.- Avoid dampness, freezing temperatures, direct sunshine, high temperatures andtemperature fluctuations, as these can cause breakage and splintering.- Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have been in storageto make sure that they are free of defects.23242526
