12BFuel / RefuellingChain oilUse an oil with adhesive additive for lubricating the chain andguide bar. The adhesive additive prevents the oil from beingflung off the chain too quickly.We recommend the use of chain oil which is bio-degradable inorder to protect the environment. The use of bio-degradable oilmay even be required by local regulations.The chain oil BIOTOP sold by MAKITA is made of specialvegetable oils and is 100% bio-degradable. BIOTOP has beengranted the "blue angel" (Blauer Umweltschutz-Engel) for beingparticularly environment-friendly (RAL UZ 48).BIOTOP chain oil is available in the following sizes:1 l order number 980 008 6105 l order number 980 008 611Bio-degradable oil is stable only for a limited period of time. Itshould be used within 2 years from the date of manufacture(printed on the container).Important note on bio-degradable chain oils:If you are not planning to use the saw again for an extendedperiod of time, empty the oil tank and put in a small amount ofregular engine oil (SAE 30), and then run the saw for a time.This is necessary to flush out all remaining bio-degradable oilfrom the oil tank, oil-feed system, chain and guide bar, as manysuch oils tend to leave sticky residues over time, which cancause damage to the oil pump or other parts.The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with BIOTOP chainoil again.CNEVER USE WASTE OILWaste oil is very dangerous for the environment.Waste oil contains high amounts of carcinogenic substances.Residues in waste oil result in a high degree of wear and tearat the oil pump and the sawing device.In case of damage caused by using waste oil or unappropriatechain oil the product guarantee will be null and void.Your salesman will inform you about the use of chain oil.waste oilFuel mixtureThis tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled two-strokeengine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engineoil.The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with amin. octane value of 91 ROZ. In case no such fuel is available,you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not affectthe engine.In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protectyour 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), whichhas to be added to the fuel. The engine has been designed foruse of MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil and amixture ratio of only 50:1 to protect the environment. In addi-tion, a long service life and reliable operation with a minimumemission of exhaust gases are ensured.MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available inthe following sizes to suit your individual requirements:1 l order number 980 008 607100 ml order number 980 008 606In case MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engine oil is notavailable, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio of50:1 with other two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimumoperation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.Caution: Do not use ready-mixed fuel from petrolstations.The correct mixture ratio:50:1 when using MAKITA high-performance two-stroke engineoil, 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 partsgasoline with 1 part oil.NOTE:For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quan-tity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel.Thoroughly shake the mixture before filling it into the chainsaw tank.It is not wise to add more engine oil than specifi ed to ensuresafe operation. This will only result in a higher productionof combus-tion residues which will pollute the environ-ment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as wellas the muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise andperformance will decrease.The Storage of FuelFuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures agethrough evaporation, especially at high temperatures. Aged fueland fuel mixtures can cause starting problems and damage theengine.Purchase only that amount of fuel, which will be consu-med over the next few months. At high temperatures, once fuelhas been mixed it should be used up in 6-8 weeks.Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool, securelocations!1000 cm 3 (1 litre) 20 cm 3 20 cm 35000 cm 3 (5 litres) 100 cm 3 100 cm 310000 cm 3 (10 litres) 200 cm 3 200 cm 3+A50:1 50:1OILGasoline
