FUEL HANDLING
Fuelmix
Mixing
•
Always mix the gasoline
and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
IMPORTANT! The chain saw is equipped with a two-stroke
engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline
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 start by filling half

to be used. Then add the
entire amount of oil. Mix
