Straight Cutting - Makita DMC300 Instruction Manual

Position the wheel guard correctly to provide maximum
protection from sparks and loose particles thrown from
the cutting wheel. Place the tool over workpiece without
the cutting wheel making any contact. Turn the tool on
and wait until the cutting wheel attains full speed. Then
slowly lower the tool over the workpiece surface, using
a moderate feed suited to your applications.

Straight cutting

CAUTION:
Be sure that a cutting wheel
always works in an up-grinding motion. It other-
wise may cause the tool to be pushed uncontrolled
out of the cut.
NOTICE:
Keep your cutting line straight and
apply steady pressure to obtain a uniform cut
through workpiece.
Set the base plate of dust collection cover on workpiece
to be cut without the cutting wheel making any contact.
Turn the tool on and wait until the cutting wheel attains
full speed. Then slowly move the tool over the work-
piece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly
until the cutting is completed.
Select the reverse rotation for push cutting, and the
forward rotation for pull cutting.

NOTE: Be aware that the dust collection cover tends
to function less effectively in pull cutting as some
cutting particles spread inside the cover against the
dust extraction flow.
