Transport And Storage - Makita DPC 6400 Manuel D'instructions Et De Sécurité

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. Caution: Watch out for electric
wires 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
possible behind the cut (23), so that material fragments are
thrown forward, away from the operator.
- 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.
NOTE:
For long, straight cuts we recommend using a cart (24, see also
"SPECIAL ACCESSORIES"). 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, sim-
ply make a shallow groove, and then knock off the excess
material cleanly on a flat surface (25).
CAREFUL!
When cutting into lengths, cutting through material, making
cutouts, etc., always make sure to plan the direction and se-
quence 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
cutting disc pointing behind you (26). Avoid touching the
exhaust muffler (burn hazard!)
- 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:
- Clean and dry them well.
- Store them lying down flat.
- Avoid dampness, freezing temperatures, direct sunshine,
high temperatures and temperature fluctuations, as these can
cause breakage and splintering.
- Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have
been in storage to make sure that they are free of defects.
