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.

WARNING
The chainsaw becomes hot during operation,
or in a very hot environment. Depending on
the type of fuel, altitude, ambient temperature
and the temperature of the saw, the fuel
expands and can cause a pressure build-up in
the tank. Fuel may escape as a spray and
ignite when the fuel tank cap is opened. This
can result in serious injuries and damage to
property.
Allow the saw to cool down before opening
the tank cap.
Open the tank cap slowly in stages.
Turn the fuel tank cap about 1/8 of a turn
counterclockwise.
If the fuel tank is under pressure, you will hear
pressure being released.
When the tank is no longer under pressure:
Turn the tank cap counterclockwise until the
marks on the cap and fuel tank are in align‐
ment.
