MAKITA synthetic two-stroke engine oil (50:1) is available in the following sizes to suit your individual requirements: 2.6 floz. order number T-00745 6.4 floz. order number T-00739 NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Shake the finished mixture thoroughly before pouring it into the tank. Caution: Open the tank cap carefully, as pressure might have built up inside! It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a higher production of combustion residues which will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise and performance will decrease. AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT 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 dry out. 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. Use only approved and marked containers for transport and storage. Store fuel only in dry, cool and secure locations! Fuel mixture Refuelling IMPORTANT: FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS! Be careful and cautious when handling fuels. The engine must be turned off and cooled down! Carefully clean the area around the fuel‑tank filler neck to keep dirt from getting in the tank. Place the unit on its side on an even surface. Unscrew the tank cap and fill tank with fuel mixture. Take care to avoid spilling. Screw the tank cap back on hand-tight. Clean screw cap and tank after refuelling. Never start or operate the Power Cut in the same place as it was fuelled! If fuel gets on your clothing, change clothes immediately. 17
