OPERATION

WARNING:

FUEL AND REFUELLING

HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY

WARNING:

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 and do not inhale fuel vapour. Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with skin.

Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or oil 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.

MIXING THE FUEL

This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean container approved

for petrol.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol intended for motor vehicle use with an octane rating of 87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.

Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/oil from fuel service stations. This includes the pre-mixed petrol/oil intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles etc.

Use a high quality 2-cycle self-mixing oil for air-cooled engines. Do not use motor vehicle oil or 2-cycle outboard oil.

Mix 2% oil into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.

Mix the fuel thoroughly and each time before refuelling.

Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger than usable in a 30-day period. A 2-cycle oil containing a fuel stabiliser is recommended.

FILLING THE TANK

2.Loosen the fuel cap slowly.

3.Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
