before starting the engine. DO NOT SMOKE!
Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
FUEL AND REFUELING HANDLING THE FUEL
SAFELY
Check for fuel leaks. If any are found, correct
them before using the saw to prevent fire or burn
injury.
■ Always handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
■ Always refuel outdoors, do not inhale fuel vapours.
■ Do not let petrol or lubricant come in contact with
skin. If contact does occur wash immediately with
soap and plenty of water
■ Keep petrol and lubricant away from the eyes. If
gasoline or lubricant comes in contact with the eyes,
wash them immediately with clean water. If irritation is
still present, see a doctor immediately.
■ Clean up spilled fuel immediately. Refer to Refuelling
in the Specific Safety Rules section of this manual for
additional safety information.
MIXING THE FUEL
■ This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and
requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-cycle lubricant. Pre-
mix unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a
clean container approved for petrol.
■ This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol
intended for automotive use with an octane rating of
91 or higher.
■ Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/lubricant
from fuel service stations; this includes the pre-
mixed petrol/lubricant intended for use in mopeds,
motorcycles, etc.
■ Use a high quality 2-cycle self-mixing lubricant for air-
cooled engines. Do not use automotive lubricant or
2-cycle outboard lubricant.
■ Mix 2% lubricant into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.
■ Mix the fuel thoroughly and each time before fuelling.
■ Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger
than usable in a 30-day period. A 2-cycle lubricant
containing a fuel stabilizer is recommended.
1 litre + 20 ml =
2 litres + 40 ml =
3 litres + 60 ml = 50: 1
4 litres + 80 ml =
5 litres + 100 ml =
Fuel system damage or performance problems
resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing
more than the percentages of oxygenates stated
previously are not covered under warranty.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 5.
■ Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent
contamination.
■ Loosen the fuel cap slowly.
■ Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid
spillage.
■ Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
gasket.
■ Immediately replace the fuel cap and hands tighten it.
Wipe up any fuel spillage.
It is normal for the engine to emit smoke during
and after the first use.
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
See Figure 6.
Use Homelite Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is designed for
chains and chain oilers, and is formulated to perform over
a wide temperature range with no dilution required. The
chainsaw should use approximately one tank of lubricant
per tank of fuel.
Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated
lubricants. Damage may occur to the lubricant pump, bar,
or chain.
■ Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into the
lubricant tank.
■ Fill the lubricant tank every time you fuel the engine.
See Figures 7 - 8.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake prior to
each use.
■ Engage the chain brake by rotating your left hand
around the front handle, allowing the back of your
hand to push the chain brake lever/hand guard
toward the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Be
sure to maintain both hands on the saw handles at all
times.
■ Reset the chain brake back into the RUN position by
grasping the top of the chain brake lever/hand guard
and pulling toward the front handle until you hear a
click.
If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake will not stay
in the run position without assistance, take the
saw to an authorised service centre for repair
prior to use.
