Perform all work conscientiously and carefully. The user has to accept
responsibility for others.
Never use the blower while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs (2).
Do not use the unit when you are tired.
Save these instructions for future referral.
Personal Protective Equipment
The clothing worn should be functional and appropriate, i. e., it should
be tight tting but not cause a hindrance. Do not wear jewelry, clothing or
long hair which could be drawn into the air intake.
In order to avoid head-, eye-, hand- or foot injuries as well as to protect
your hearing the following protective equipment and protective clothing
must be used during operation of the blower.
Pay particular attention to the following regulations
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-tting, but allow complete freedom of
movement. Avoid loose-tting jackets, ared or cuffed pants, scarves,
unconned long hair or anything that could be drawn into the air intake. (4)
Wear overalls or long pants to protect your legs.
Do not wear shorts. (4)
Generally, engine products are noisy and their noise may damage your
hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufers) to protect your
hearing. Continual and regular users should have their hearing checked
regularly. (3)
Use of gloves when working with the blower is recommended.
Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles. (4)
Proper eye protection is a must. Even though the discharge is directed
away from the operator, ricochets and bounce-backs can occur during
blower operation. (3)
Never operate a blower unless wearing goggles or properly tted safety
glasses with adequate top and side protection which comply with EN166
and regulations in your country.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of dust, use
face lter mask in dusty conditions.
Starting up the blower
Make sure that there are no children or other people within a working
range of 15 meters (5), also pay attention to any animals in the working
vicinity. Never use the blower in urban areas.
Before operating, always check that the blower is safe for operation:
Check the security of the throttle lever. The throttle lever should be
checked for smooth and easy action. Check for proper functioning of the
throttle lever lock. Check for clean and dry handles and test the function
of the l-O switch. Keep handles free of oil and fuel.

Start the Blower only in accordance with the instructions. Do not use any
other methods for starting the engine (6).
Use the blower and the tools supplied only for applications specied.
Start the blower engine only after the entire tool has been assembled.
Operation of the tool is permitted only after all the appropriate accessories
are attached.
The engine is to be switched off immediately if there are any engine
problems.
When working with the blower, always wrap your ngers tightly around
the handle, keeping the control handle cradled between your thumb and
forenger. Keep your hand in this position to have your machine under
control at all times. Make sure your control handle is in good condition
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Always ensure a safe, well-balanced footing.
Carry the blower properly on both shoulders during operation. Do not
carry the blower with only one shoulder strap. Otherwise personal injury
may result.
Operate the blower in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of the exhaust
gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (risk of suffocation and
gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas.
Always ensure there is adequate ventilation.
Switch off the engine when resting or leaving the blower unattended.
Place it in a safe location prevent danger to others, setting re to
combustible materials, or damage to the machine.
Never lay the hot blower onto dry grass or onto any combustible
materials.
All protective parts and guards supplied with the machine must be used
during operation.
Never operate the engine with a faulty exhaust mufer.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Checking and Relling Engine Oil
1) Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down.
Otherwise skin burn may result.
Inspection: Put the blower on a at surface and remove the oil
cap.
Check the oil gauge (1). Make sure that the oil level is
within the upper (2) and lower (3) limit marks. If the oil
is not up to the 100 ml level (4), ll up with new oil.
Filling oil: Put the blower on a at surface and remove the oil
cap.
Fill the oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.
2) On average, engine oil needs to be added after every 20 hours of
operation (every 10 – 15 refuellings).
3) Change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or signicantly changes
color. (Refer to “Replacement of engine oil” for the oil change
procedure and frequency.)
●
●
Recommended oil: Makita genuine oil or SAE10W-30 oil of API type SF grade or better (4 stroke motor oil for automobiles)
Oil capacity: Approximately 0.22 L (220 ml)
NOTE:
If the blower is not stored in an upright position, the oil may ow from the level gauge into the engine and give a false reading when checking the
oil level. This may result in inadvertently overlling whenever adding engine oil. Always store the blower in an upright position.
If the engine oil is exceeded, the oil may spill from the breather of the air cleaner and make surrounding parts dirty, or white smoke may appear
due to burning excessive oil.
Replacement of Oil “Oil cap”
Remove dust or dirt near the oil rell port, and detach the oil cap.
Keep the detached oil cap free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil cap may cause irregular oil circulation or wear on
the engine parts, which will result in troubles.
After relling oil
Wipe with a rag any spilled oil.

2. Fuel supply
WARNING:
When refuelling the unit, be sure to observe the following instructions to prevent ignition or re or personal injury:
Fuel supply must be made in a place free of re. Never bring the re (smoking, etc.) near the place of fuel supply.
Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down before refuelling.
Refuel on at surface. Do not refuel on unstable or bad ventilated place.
Refuel in good light and visibility.
Refuel at open clear place.
Open the fuel tank cap slowly. The fuel may be spilled out by internal pressure.
Take care not to spill the fuel. Any spilled fuel must be wiped clean.
Carry out fuel supply in a well-ventilated place.
Handle the fuel with care.
Fuel sticking to the skin or entering an eye may cause allergies or irritation. When any physical abnormality is detected, consult the medical
specialist immediately.
DO NOT put oil in the fuel tank.
STORAGE PERIOD OF FUEL
Fuel should be used within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated and shaded area.
Otherwise, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
Storage of machine and rell tank
Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.
Never keep the fuel in a car.
FUEL
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).
Points for Fuel
Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles.
Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular start-up.
When refuelling, stop the engine and wait for the engine to cool down.
REFUELLING METHOD
Loosen the tank cap a little to release the tank pressure.
Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that the refuel port will be oriented upward. DO NOT ll fuel up to the
top of the tank.
After refuelling, securely tighten the tank cap.
If there is any aw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.
The tank cap wears out in course of time. Replace it every two to three years.
DO NOT put fuel in the oil ll port.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before inspection and maintenance, stop the engine and allow it to cool down. Remove the spark plug and plug cap.
Otherwise the operator may suffer burn or serious injury due to an accidental start-up.
After inspection and maintenance, make sure that all parts are assembled. Then, proceed to operation.
1. Replacement of engine oil
Deteriorated engine oil will shorten the life of the sliding and rotating parts to a great extent. Be sure to check the period and quantity of
replacement.
CAUTION:
The engine main unit and engine oil still remain hot just after the engine is stopped. In replacement of oil, make sure that the engine main unit and
engine oil are sufciently cooled down. Otherwise, there may remain a risk of scald. Allow sufcient time after stopping engine for the engine oil
to return to the oil tank to ensure accurate reading of the oil level indicator.
If the oil lled above the limit, it may become dirty or may catch re with white smoke.
Interval of replacement: After rst 20 operating hours, followed by every 50 operating hours
Recommended oil: SAE10W-30 oil, API Classication SF Class or higher (4-stroke engine oil for automobile)

Oil Change Procedure
Please follow these steps when changing the oil:
(1) Set the blower down on a level surface.
(2) Put a waste oil container under the drainage hole (1) to catch
the oil as it drains out. The container should have a capacity of
at least 220 ml to be able to catch all of the oil.
(3) Loosen the oil drain bolt (2) to let the oil drain out. Be careful not
to allow oil to get on the fuel tank or other parts.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to lose the gasket (aluminum washer) (3). Put
the oil drain bolt (2) in a location where it will not accumulate
dirt.
(4) Remove the oil cap (4). (Removing the oil cap (4) allows the oil
to drain easily.)
CAUTION:
Be sure to set the oil cap (4) down in a location where it will
not accumulate dirt.
(5) As the level of the oil being drained decreases, tilt the blower
over on to the side with the drain so that the oil will completely
drain out.
(6) After the oil has completely drained out, tighten the oil drain bolt
(2) securely. If the bolt is not tightly fastened, this may result in
an oil leak.
CAUTION:
Do not forget to put the gasket (aluminum washer) (3) back
on when reattaching the drain plug.
(7) Adding oil during the oil change procedure is performed in the
same manner as the separately explained procedure for adding
oil whenever the level is insufcient. Always add oil by lling
from the opening under the oil cap.
(Specied oil level: Approximately 220 ml)
(8) After lling with oil, tighten the oil cap (4) securely to prevent oil
leaks.
