will stop the chain through inertia if the ic bac is su ciently
strong
The chain will stop within a fraction of a second
The chain brake is installed to block the saw chain
before starting it and to stop it immediately in case of an
emergency.
IMPORTANT: NEVER run the saw with the chain brake
activated e cept for testing see 6 13 Chec ing the chain
bra e )! Doing so can very quickly cause extensive
engine damage!
ALWAYS release the chain brake
before starting the work!
6-6. Fuel
CAUTION:
This saw is powered by mineral-oil products gasoline and
oil)
Be especially careful when handling gasoline.
Do not smoke. Keep tool well away from open ames,
spark, or re e plosion ha ard)
Fuel mixture
This tool is powered by a high performance air cooled
two stro e engine It runs on a mi ture of gasoline and two
stro e engine oil
The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a
min octane value of 91 R Z In case no such fuel is available
you can use fuel with a higher octane value This will not a ect
the engine
In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to
protect your health and the environment use unleaded
fuel only.
To lubricate the engine use a synthetic oil for two stro e air
cooled engines
uality grade A
has to be added to the fuel The engine has been designed
for use of MAKITA high performance two stro e engine oil
and a mi ture ratio of only 50 1 to protect the environment
In addition a long service life and reliable operation with a
minimum emission of e haust gases are ensured
MAKITA high performance two stro e engine oil is available in
the following si es to suit your individual re uirements

In case MAKITA high performance two stro e engine oil is not
available it is urgently recommended to use a mi ture ratio of
50 1 with other two stro e engine oils as otherwise optimum
operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed
Caution: Do not use ready-mixed fuel from petrol
stations.
The correct mixture ratio:

Engaging the chain brake bra ing)
T
If the ic bac is strong enough the sudden acceleration of the
guide bar combined with the inertia of the hand guard 1) will
automatically actuate the chain bra e
To engage the chain bra e manually simply push the hand
guard 1) forward towards the tip of the saw) with your left
hand arrow 1)
Releasing the chain brake
Pull the hand guard 1) towards you arrow 2) until you feel it
catch The bra e is now released

NOTE:
or preparing the fuel oil mi ture rst mi the entire oil uantity
with half of the fuel re uired then add the remaining fuel
Thoroughly sha e the mi ture before lling it into the chain saw
tan
It is not wise to add more engine oil than speci ed to
ensure safe operation. This 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 mu er. In addition, fuel consumption will
rise and performance will decrease.
The Storage of Fuel
uels have a limited storage life uel and fuel mi tures
age through evaporation especially at high temperatures
Aged fuel and fuel mi tures can cause starting problems
and damage the engine Purchase only that amount of fuel
which will be consumed over the ne t few months At high
temperatures once fuel has been mi ed it should be used up
in 6 8 wee s
Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool, secure
locations!
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your s in If your s in comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly and for an e tended
period of time it will desiccate arious s in deseases may
result In addition allergic reactions are nown to occur
yes can be irritated by contact with oil If oil comes into your
eyes immediately wash them with clear water
If your eyes are still irritated see a doctor immediately!
