Fuels
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 protect
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 high-performance 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 emis-
sions.
