FUEL HANDLING
Fuel mixture
Mixture
NOTE!
•
•
Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container intended
for fuel.
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must
always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture
when mixing small amounts of fuel.
Always start by filling half the quantity of gasoline required.
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of gasoline.
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the
machine‘s fuel tank.

•
•
Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.
If the clearing saw is not used for a long period of time, the
fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
WARNING!
Always provide good ventilation when
handling fuel.
• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

Gasoline
WARNING!
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use.This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when handling the saw near
flammable substances or vapours.
NOTE!
Always use an oil-mixed
quality petrol (at least 87
octane). If your machine is
equipped with a catalytic
converter, (see “technical
data”) an unleaded, oil
mixed quality petrol should
always be used. A leaded
petrol will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Fuelling
!
WARNING!
The following precautions reduce the risk
of fire:
Do not smoke or place any sources of
heat in the vicinity of the fuel. Never
refuel when the engine is running.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling. Open the
fuel cap slowly when fuelling so that any
over pressure is released slowly.Tighten
the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine from the
fuelling place before starting.

This engine is certified to
operate on unleaded
gasoline.
•
The lowest recommended
octane rating is 87. If you
run the engine on lower
octane rating than 87 so-
called “knocking“ can
occur. This leads to an

temperature, which can
result in a serious engine
breakdown.
Ensure that the fuel is
well mixed by shaking the
container before filling
the tank.
•
When working at
continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is
recommended.
