8 Mixing Fuel and Refueling
the Chainsaw
8.1 Mixing Fuel
This chainsaw requires a fuel mixture of gasoline
and two-stroke engine oil in a ratio of 50:1.
STIHL recommends you use STIHL MotoMix.
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL two-
stroke engine oil or another high-performance
engine oil in accordance with JASO FB, JASO
FC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-L-
EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke
engine oil or an equivalent high-performance
engine oil in order to maintain emission limits
throughout the machine’s service life.
► Make sure that the octane number of the gas‐
oline is at least 90 RON and the ethanol con‐
tent is not more than 10%.
► Make sure the two-stroke engine oil you are
using meets the requirements.
► Depending on the required amount of fuel,
determine the correct amounts of two-stroke
engine oil and gasoline in a mix ratio of 50:1.
Examples for fuel mixes:
–
1 liter gasoline, 20 ml two-stroke engine oil
–
3 liters gasoline, 60 ml two-stroke engine oil
–
5 liters gasoline, 100 ml two-stroke engine
oil
► Pour two-stroke engine oil into a clean
approved fuel canister first and then add gaso‐
line.
► Thoroughly mix the fuel.
8.2 Fueling the Saw
► Shut off the engine and engage the chain
brake.
► Allow chainsaw to cool down.
► Place your chainsaw on a level surface so that
the fuel tank cap faces up.
► Use a damp cloth to clean the tank cap and
the area around it.
► Swing the grip on the fuel tank cap to the verti‐
cal position.
