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 ames,
sparks or re (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.
Gasoline 50:1
100:1
+The correct mixture ratio:
100:1 When using MAKITA HP 100 high-performance
two-stroke engine oil, i. e. 100 parts gasoline
to 1 part oil.
50:1 When using MAKITA high-performance two-
stroke engine oil, i. e. 50 parts gasoline to 1
part oil.
