Fuel chain saw engine

Fuel Safety

!WARNING!

The fuel used in the one-man sawmill has the following

hazardous properties:

1. The fluid, its vapour, and its exhaust fumes are poisonous.

2.Can cause skin irritation.

3.Is highly inflammable.

The following are absolutely forbidden when fuelling:

Smoking.

To have flames or hot objects in close proximity.

To have the engine running.

Petrol

CAUTION! The one-man sawmill, which is equipped with a two-stroke engine, must always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

!Always provide for good ventilation when handling fuel.

Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol. The lowest octane recommended is 90. If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-called, knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.
