SPECIAL ACCESSORIES Diamond cutting discs MAKITA diamond cutting discs meet the highest demands in working safety, ease of operation, and economical cutting performance. They can be used for cutting all materials except metal. The high durability of the diamond grains ensures low wear and thereby a very long service life with almost no change in disc diameter over the lifetime of the disc. This gives consistent cutting performance and thus high economy. The outstanding cutting qualities of the discs make cutting easier. The metal disc plates give highly concentric running for minimal vibration during use. The use of diamond cutting discs reduces cutting time significantly. This in turn leads to lower operating costs (fuel consumption, wear on parts, repairs, and last but not least environmental damage). Pressurized water tank To keep down dust and for better cutting‑disc cooling, MAKITA offers several options for wetting the disc during operation. The pressurized water tank is connected to the Power Cut by the water set on the protective hood. See "Accessories" for order number. 27
