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 protect your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only. Gasoline which contens alcohol should not used in MAKITA products.
For lubricating the engine use a

Handling and storage
Utmost care is required when handling with fuel. Fuel can contain substances which have a behavior similar to that of solvents. Fill the tank only outside or ventilated rooms. Do not inhale vapors, avoid any fuel contact with your skin. For preparing the
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified 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 muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise and performance will decrease.
Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only as much as will be consumed in 4 weeks. Use only approved and marked containers for transport and storage.

Chain oil
Use an oil with adhesive additive for lubricating the chain and guide bar. The adhesive additive prevents the oil from being flung off the chain too quickly.
We recommend the use of chain oil which is
The chain oil BIOTOP sold by MAKITA is made of special vegetable oils and is 100%
BIOTOP chain oil is available in the following sizes:
1 l order number 980 008 610
5 l order number 980 008 611
20 l order number 980 008 613
Important note on bio-degradable chain oils:
If you are not planning to use the saw again for an extended period of time (longer than the expiration date of the chain oil), empty the oil tank and put in a small amount of regular engine oil (SAE 30), and then run the saw for a time. This is necessary to flush out all remaining
The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with BIOTOP chain oil again.
waste oil
C
NEVER USE WASTE OIL
Waste 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 tear at the oil pump and the sawing device.
In case of damage caused by using waste oil or unappropriate chain oil the product guarantee will be null and void.
Your salesman will inform you about the use of chain oil.
