Note: The brake lever should snap into both positions. If
strong resistance is felt, or lever does not move into either
position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a
professional Service Center for repair.
Fuel and lubrication
Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded fuel mixed with 50:1 custom
2-cycle engine oil for best results.
Mixing fuel
Mix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved container. Shake
gently and ensure thorough mix.
Warning: Never use straight fuel in your unit. This will cause
permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer’s
warranty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture that has
been stored for over 90 days.
Warning: If 2-cycle lubricant is to be used, it must be a
premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixed
at a 50:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with a
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication
is the cause of engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s
engine warranty for that occurrence.
Recommended fuels
Some conventional fuels are being blended with oxygenates
such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet clean air
standards. Your engine is designed to operate satisfactorily
on any fuel intended for automotive use including
oxygenated fuel. It is recommended to use unleaded petrol
as fuel.
Lubrication of chain and chain bar
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with petrol you must also
top up the level of chain oil in the chain oil tank. It is
recommended to use standard chain oil.
Engine pre-start checks
Warning: Never start or operate the saw unless the bar and
chain are properly installed.
1
Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture (Fig. 15).
2
Fill the oil tank (B) with chain oil (Fig. 15).
3
Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C) before
starting unit (Fig. 15).
Once you have filled the chain and oil tank, tighten the tank
cover securely by hand. Do not use any tools to do so.
