In addition, aller-gic reactions are known to occur. Eyes can be irritated bycontact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately washthem with clear water.If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!Storage of FuelFuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures age.Therefore fuel and fuel mixtures, which have been stored fortoo long, can cause starting problems. Purchase only thatamount of fuel, which will be consumed over the next fewmonths.Store fuel safely in a dry place in approved containersonly.Refuelling- Thoroughly clean around the tank cap (B/1) so that no dirtcan enter the fuel tank.- Before refuelling the brushcutter make sure it is in a stabi-le position.- Unscrew the tank cap (B/2) and carefully fill in the fuelmixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Fill the tankcarefully, making sure not to spill any fuel.- Tightly screw on the plug.Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling.Fuel mixtureSTOPFOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.The engine must be switched off!B2 1The brushcutter is powered by a high-performance two-strokeengine. The engine runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-strokeengine oil.The engine was designed for regular lead-free gasoline with anoctane number of at least 91 ROZ. If this is not available,higher-octane gasoline may be used. This will not damage theengine, but may impair engine performance.A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel. Toobtain optimum engine operation and to protect yourhealth and the environment, only unleaded fuel should beused! Gasoline which contens alcohol should not used inMAKITA products.For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (qualitygrade: API-TC), which is added to the fuel. The engine hasbeen designed for use of MAKITA HP 100 high-performancetwo-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only 100:1 to protectthe environment. In addition, a long service life and reliableoperation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases areensured.MAKITA HP 100 high-performance two-stroke engine oil isavailable in the following sizes:0.5 l part no. 980 008 609MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available intwo different sizes:1 l part no. 980 008 607100 ml part no. 980 008 606In case MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is notavailable, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio of40:1 with other two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimumoperation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.Preparation of the correct mixture ratio:50:1 When using MAKITA high-performance two-stroke oil,i.e. 50 parts gasoline /1 part oil.100:1 when using MAKITA HP 100 high-performance two-stroke engine oil, i. e. mix 100 parts gasoline with 1 partoil.40:1 When using other brands, i.e. 40 parts gasoline / 1 partoil.Note:When preparing the fuel mixture, always first mix the entire oilquantity with half of the gasoline, and then add the rest of thegasoline. Shake the mixture well before putting in the fuel tank.It is not wise to add more oil to the mixture than specified, evenif this may seem safer for the engine. More oil only leads toincreased combustion residues, which not only pollute theenvironment, but are also bad for the cylinder exhaustchannel, muffler and the spark arrester screen. Furthermorefuel consumption will increase and performance will fall.1.0 Us-gal. (3.7 l) 3.2 floz.(94 cm3) 2.5 floz.(75 cm3) 1.3 floz.(38 cm3)2.5 Us-gal.
