NOTE: The two fastening nuts (11) must be loosened before
tightening the V-belt or checking the tension.
To increase the belt tension, turn the tightening screw (12) to
the right (clockwise) with the combination wrench included
with the Power Cut.
The belt tension is correctly adjusted when the nut (13) is
centred on the mark (14).
IMPORTANT:
After tightening/inspection, make certain to tighten
the fastening nuts (11) (30 ± 2 Nm).
Tightening the V-belt /
Checking V-belt tension
IMPORTANT
:
Exact V-belt tension is essential for maximum cutting
performance with minimum fuel consumption. Improper
V-belt tension will result in premature wear to the V-belt
and V-belt wheel or damage to the clutch bearing.
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 two-stroke engine oil (quality
grade TC-3), 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 environ-
ment. In addition, this ensures a long service life and reliable
operation with minimum exhaust emissions.

two-stroke engine oil, i. e. 100 parts gasoline to
1 part oil.
