This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled two-stroke
engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine
oil.
The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a
min. octane value of 91 ROZ. In case no such fuel is available,
you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affect
the engine.
In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protect
your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only.
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke air-
cooled engines (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), which
has to be added to the fuel. The engine has been designed for
use of MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil and a
mixture ratio of only 50:1 to protect the environment. In addi-
tion, a long service life and reliable operation with a minimum
emission of exhaust gases are ensured.
MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available in
the following sizes to suit your individual requirements:

In case MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is not
available, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio of
50:1 with other two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimum
operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.
Caution: Do not use ready-mixed fuel from petrol
stations.
The correct mixture ratio:
50:1
when using MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine
oil, i. e. mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.
50:1
when using other synthetic two-stroke engine oils
(quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), i. e. mix 50 parts
gasoline with 1 part oil.
Note:
When preparing the fuel mixture, always Þ rst mix the entire
oil quantity with half of the gasoline, and then add the rest of
the gasoline. Shake the mixture well before putting in the fuel
tank.
It is not wise to add more oil to the mixture than speciÞ ed,
even if this may seem safer for the engine. More oil only leads
to increased combustion residues, which not only pollute the
environment, but are also bad for the cylinder exhaust channel
and the mufß er. Furthermore fuel consumption will increase and
performance will fall.

AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT!
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain
substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well venti-
lated room or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapors, and avoid
any contact of fuel or oil with your skin. 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!
The Storage of Fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures age
through evaporation, especially at high temperatures. Aged fuel
and fuel mixtures can cause starting problems and damage the
engine.Purchase only that amount of fuel, which will be consumed
over the next few months. At high temperatures, once fuel has
been mixed it should be used up in 6-8 weeks.
Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool, secure
locations!
Refuelling
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be switched off!

-
Thoroughly clean around the tank cap (B/1) so that no dirt
can enter the fuel tank.
-
Unscrew the tank cap (B/2) and carefully Þ ll in the fuel mixture
up to the lower edge of the Þ ller neck. Fill the tank carefully,
making sure not to spill any fuel.
-
Tightly screw on the plug.
Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling.
