Caution:
The Power Cut uses mineral-oil products
(gasoline and
oil)
.
Be especially careful when handling gasoline.
Do not smoke. Do not allow gasoline to come near flames,
sparks or fire (explosion hazard).
Fuel mixture
The Power Cut is powered by a high-performance 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 pro-
tect your health and the environment use unleaded fuel
only. Gasoline which contens alcohol should not used in
MAKITA products.
To lubricate the engine, use a two-stroke engine oil (quality grade
JASO FC or ISO EGD), which is added to the fuel. The engine
is designed for the use of MAKITA HP 100 high-performance
two-stroke engine oil at a mixture ratio of only 100:1 to protect
the environment. In addition, this ensures a long service life and
reliable operation with minimum exhaust emissions.
