Fuel mixture

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!

-  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.

FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.

The engine must be switched off!

Refuelling

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:

 

1    l 

order number  980 008 607

   100 ml 

order number  980 008 606

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 speci

Þ

 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 muf

ß

 er. Furthermore fuel consumption will increase and 

performance will fall.
