Let only persons who have experience in using cutoff saws work with this unit. When letting another person use the Power Cut, this owner’s manual must be provided along with

First-time operators should ask a specialist working with gasoline-powered cutoff saws.

Children and persons under 18years of age must not be allowed

can accumulate (trousers with cuffs, jackets and trousers with

wide-open pockets, etc.) must not be worn, particularly when

cutting metal.

not wear any jewellery or clothing that can get caught or

Never use the Power Cut near inflammable materials or explosive gases! The Power Cut can create sparks leading to fire or explosion!

Make sure that all persons within other workers, are wearing protective gear (see "Protective Equipment") remain more than eye out for animals as well

Before starting work the Power Cut must be checked for perfect function and operating safety according to the prescriptions.

In particular the condition of the cutting disc (cracked, damaged, or bent cutting discs must be replaced immediately), proper mounting of the cutting disc, proper mounting of correct V-belt tension, ease of motion of the throttle lever and functioning of the throttle lever lock, clean and dry handles, and functioning of the onloff switch.

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 cutting disc pointing behind exhaust muffler (burn hazard!)

When moving the Power Cut over longer distances, use a wheelbarrow or wagon. Avoid carrying the unit if possible.

When transporting the Power Cut in a vehicle, make sure it is securely positioned in such a way that Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in a vehicle.

The Power Cut should be stored safely in not be left outdoors! Always dismount the cutting disc before storage.

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:

Clean and dry them well. Store them lying down flat. Avoid dampness, moisture, high temperatures, and drastic

temperature fluctuations. Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have

been in storage to make sure that they are free of defects.

Perform only the maintenance and repair works described in the owner’s manual. All other work must be carried out by MAKITA Service.

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 M AKITA.

Fuel mixture

The Power Cut is powered by a high-performance two-stroke engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil.

The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with amin. octane value of 91 can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect the engine.

NOTE:

For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly shake the mixture before filling it into the Power Cut tank.

It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified 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 muffler. In

addition, fuel consumption will rise and performance will de-

crease.

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.

Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.

If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!

Refuelling

Be careful and cautious when handling fuels. The engine must be switched off!

Carefully clean the area around the fuel-tank filler neck to keep dirt from getting in the tank.

Place the unit on its side on an even surface.

Unscrewthetankcapandfill tankwith fuel mixture. Takecare to avoid spilling.

Tightly screw on the plug.

Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling.

Starting theengine

To make it easier to start, the DPC 7001 and DPC 9501 are equipped with a semi-automatic starting valve this valve in reduces the amount of compression effort needed,

that it is easier to bring the engine up to starting speed when

pulling the starter cable? The high pressure increase in the combustion chamber that results from the first ignitions will automatically close the starting valve (button pops back out).

Models DPC 7000and DPC 9500do not haveastarting valve. Starting and carburetor adjustment are as for models DPC
