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 centerd
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 per
-
formance 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.
If the Power Cut is new or the V-belt has been replaced,
retighten the V-belt after the rst hour of operation!

Fuels
Caution:
This tool uses mineral-oil products (gasoline and oil).
Be especially careful when handling gasoline.
Do not smoke. Do not allow gasoline to come near ames,
sparks or re (explosion hazard).
Fuel mixture
This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled 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 87 (R+M)/2. In case no such fuel is avail-
able, 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.
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke air-
cooled engines (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), which
has to be added to the fuel.

The correct mixture ratio:
50:1 When using MAKITA synthetic two-stroke engine
oil, i. e. 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil.
50:1 When using other synthetic two-stroke engine
oil (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD), i. e. 50
parts gasoline to 1 part oil.
