Filling up with Fuel and Oil
WARNING: Fuel is very flammable. Avoid smoking or causing any
sparks or flames near fuel. Make sure that you stop the engine and
allow it to cool before refuelling the machine. Select outdoor bare
ground for fuelling and move at least 9m (30ft) metres away from the
fuelling point before starting the engine.
It is suggested to wear safety glasses when mixing fuel.
• Only use oil that is expressly labelled for use with air-cooled 2-stroke
engines. DO NOT use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.
The recommended mixing ratio is PETROL 40: OIL 1
• Use fresh unleaded fuel. Do not use ethanol based fuels.
• Poor quality fuel or oil may damage sealing rings, fuel lines or the fuel tank.
• Do not use waste or regenerated oil, it can damage the oil pump.
CAUTION. To maximise the lifetime of the engine, avoid the following:
• Do not use raw fuel, it will severely damage the engine very quickly.
• Do not run the tank dry at speed high, as this may cause damage to the
engine.
• Do not use oil meant for 4-stroke engines, it will cause spark plug fouling,
exhaust blocking and piston ring sticking.
• Do not use fuel mixtures that have been left standing for one month or
more, they can cause clogging of the carburettor.
• Before storing the chainsaw for an extended period, empty the fuel tank
(8), clean it then run the engine at idle to empty the carburettor.
NOTE: Do not discard an unwanted fuel container with household waste.
It must be taken to an authorised repository site.
