Refuelling
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON PAGE 7!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be switched off!
- Thoroughly clean the area around the plugs, to prevent dirt
from getting into the fuel or oil tank.
- Unscrew the plug and fill the tank with fuel (fuel/oil mixture)
or chain oil as the case may be. Fill up to the bottom edge
of the filler neck. Be careful not to spill fuel or chain oil!
- Tightly screw on the plug.
Clean screw plug and tank after refuelling.
Lubricating the chain
During operation there must always be sufficient chain oil in the
chain-oil tank to provide good chain lubrication. One filling is
sufficient for about one half-hour of continuous operation.
We recommend the use of chain oil which is bio-degradable in
order to protect the environment. The use of bio-degradable oil
may even be required by local regulations.
The chain oil BIOTOP sold by MAKITA is made of special
vegetable oils and is 100% bio-degradable. BIOTOP has been
granted the "blue angel" (Blauer Umweltschutz-Engel) for
being particularly environment-friendly (RAL UZ 48).
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
Bio-degradable oil is stable only for a limited period of time. It
should be used within 2 years from the date of manufacture
(printed on the container).
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 bio-degradable oil from the oil tank,
oil-feed system, chain and guide bar, as many such oils tend
to leave sticky residues over time, which can cause damage to
the oil pump or other parts.
The next time you use the saw, fill the tank with BIOTOP chain
oil again.

AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended
period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may
result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur.
Eyes 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!
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.
