Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
•
Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the refuelling
point before starting it.
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a
few minutes before refuelling.
Min. 3 m

If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and chain
oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced at least
once a year.Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before refuelling.The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel
tank are carefully matched.You should therefore always fill
the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the same time.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
visible damage to the spark plug guard and
ignition cable. A risk of sparking arises,
which can cause a fire.
!
Transport and storage
•
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no
risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks
or naked flames from electrical equipment, electric
motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
•
•
Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapor are highly
flammable.Take care when handling fuel
and chain oil. Be aware of the risks of fire,
explosion and those associated with
inhalation.
!
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain
saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask
where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your
local gas station.
•
•
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
The bar guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the
sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause
serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an
exposed chain.
Long-term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store the
fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar guard.
Clean the machine. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance schedule.
