FUEL HANDLING
•
•
In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become
too viscous.This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
•
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
Fuelling
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
!
•
Never start the machine:
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
1
If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine.Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2
3
If you have spilt 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 stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
If the machine is leaking fuel.Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
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.
!
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Transport and storage
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.
•
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.
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 petrol station.
•
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.
•
Secure the machine during transport.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are
highly flammable.Take care when
handling fuel and chain oil. Be aware of
the risks of fire, explosion and those
associated with inhalation.
!
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.
Fuel safety
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
•
•
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
