The engine
of
the hedge Trimmer
i s a
high-efficiency two-stroke
engine.
It
is
run with
a
mixture
of fuel
and two-stroke engine
oil.
The
engine
i s
designed
for
unleaded regular fuel with
a
min. -octane
value o f
91
ROZ.
In case
no such
fuel
is
available, you can
use fuel
with
a
higher
octane value. This will not damage the engine, but may cause
poor operating behaviour.
A
similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel.
To obtain optimum engine operation and to protect your health and
the environment, only unleaded
fuel
should be used!
-
For lubricating the engine u s e
a
two-stroke engine
oil
(quality
grade:TC-3),
which
i s
added
to the fuel.
The engine
has
been designed for
use
with MAKITA two-stroke
engine oil and a mixture ratio of
50:l
only to protect the
environment.
In addition, a long service life and a reliable
operation with
a
minumum emission
of
exhaust g a s e s
i s
guaranteed. It i s absolutely essential to observe
a
mixture ratio
of
50:l
(MAKITA 2-stroke engine
oil),
otherwise the reliable
function
o f
the Hedge Trimmer cannot be guaranteed.

-
The correct mixture ratio:
Mix
50
parts gasoline with
1
part MAKITA 2-stroke engine oil (See
table on the right)
NOTE
For preparing the fuel-oil mixture, first mix the entire
oil
quantity with half
o
the fuel required. In a n approved can
which meets
of
exceeds all
local code
standards, then add
the remaining fuel.
Thoroughly shake the mixture before filling it into the Hedge
Trimmer's tank.
It
is
not wise to
add
more engine oil than specified to ensure
safe operation. It will only result in a higher production of
combustion
residues
which will pollute the environment and
clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder
as
well
as
the
muffler. In addition, the fuel consumption will rise and the
performance will decrease.
Handling petroleum products
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain
substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in
a
well ventilated
area or
outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapors, avoid any contact of
fuel
or
oil with your skin.
Mineral
oil,
fuel, etc., product degrease your skin.
If
skin comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly or for an extended period of
time, various skin diseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions
are known to occur. Eyes can
be
irritated
by
contact with
oil, fuel
etc.
If
oil, fuel, etc., comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with
clear
water.
If
your eyes
are
still irritated,
see a
doctor immediately!
