CAUTION:

This saw is powered by mineral-oil products 

(gasoline and 

oil)

.

Be especially careful when handling gasoline .
Avoid all 

ß

 ame or 

Þ

 re. Do not smoke (explosion hazard).

Fuel mixture

The engine of the chain saw is a high-ef

Þ

 ciency  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 avail-
able, 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.

For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality 
grade: JASO FC or ISO EGD), which is added to the fuel. The 
engine has been designed for use of MAKITA HP 100 high-
performance two-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only 
100:1 to protect the environment. In addition, a long service 
life and reliable operation with a minimum emission of exhaust 
gases are ensured.
MAKITA HP 100 high performance two-stroke oil is available 
in two sizes:

0,5  l 

order number  980 008 609

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 
40:1 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.

100:1

  when using MAKITA HP 100 high-performance two-stroke 

engine oil, i. e. mix 100 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.

40:1 

when using other two-stroke engine oils, i. e. mix 40 
parts gasoline with 1 part oil.

NOTE:

For preparing the fuel-oil mixture 

Þ

 rst mix the entire oil quan-

tity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. 
Thoroughly shake the mixture before 

Þ

 lling it into the chain 

saw tank.

Chain oil

Use an oil with adhesive additive for lubricating the chain and 
guide bar. The adhesive additive prevents the oil from being 

ß

 ung off the chain too quickly.

We recommend the use of chain oil which is bio-degradable in 
order to protect the environment. The use of bio-degradable oil 
may even be required by local regulations.

The chain oil BIOTOP sold by MAKITA is made of special 
vegetable oils and is 100% bio-degradable. BIOTOP has been 
granted the „blue angel“ (Blauer Umweltschutz-Engel) for being 
particularly environment-friendly (RAL UZ 48).

BIOTOP chain oil is available in the following sizes:

  1 l 

order number  980 008 610

  5 l 

order number  980 008 611

Bio-degradable oil is stable only for a limited period of 
time. It should be used within 2 years from the date of 
manufacture (printed on the container).

It is not wise to add more engine oil than speci

Þ

 ed 

to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a 
higher production of combus-tion residues which 
will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust 
channel in the cylinder as well as the muf

ß

 er. In 

addition, fuel consumption will rise and perform-
ance will decrease.

The Storage of Fuel

Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures 
age through evaporation, especially at high tempera-
tures. 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!

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 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 immedi-
ately!
