5.1 Fuel
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damage to the appliance
Using petrol alone will damage the en-
gine and invalidate the warranty.
■
Only use high-quality petrol and lubri-
cating oil so as to ensure overall per-
formance and the service life of the
mechanical parts in the long term.
NOTE
Lead-free petrol tends to leave deposits
in the tank if it is stored for more than 2
months. Always use fresh petrol!
This machine is equipped with a two-stroke en-
gine that runs on a petrol/oil mixture.
Suitable oil
Use only high-quality synthetic two-stroke engine
oils. Oils specially developed for such engines
are available from your dealer, which can guaran-
tee high performance.
Suitable petrol
Use only lead-free petrol with a minimum octane
rating of 90 RON.
5.1.1 Mixing fuel
DANGER!
Risk of explosion and fire
Petrol and mixed fuel are highly inflam-
mable!
■
Exclusively store fuel and mixed fuel
in containers specially approved for
fuels, and keep them in a safe place
away from heat sources and naked
flames.
■
Never leave the containers within
reach of children.
■
Do not smoke when mixing fuel, and
attempt to avoid inhaling the petrol
vapours.
IMPORTANT!
Danger of engine damage
Pure petrol will result in damage and
complete failure of the engine. Guaran-
tee claims against the manufacturer are
excluded in this case.
■
Only operate the engine using the
specified petrol/oil mixture ratio.
NOTE
The mixture is exposed to a continuous
aging process. Do not prepare exces-
sive amounts in order to avoid deposits
forming.
NOTE
Regularly clean the petrol and mixture
containers to remove any deposits.
An excessively lean mixture increases the risk of
a premature piston seizure. The warranty shall be
rendered void if the instructions on mixing the fu-
el, etc., in this manual are not followed.
In the table below you will find the correct mixing
ratio, together with an example.
Mixing ratio Petrol Oil
50:1 and 1 part (50
Parts Fuel Oil) 5 litres 100 ml
1. Pour about half of the specified quantity of fu-
el into an approved canister.
2. Pour in the full volume of oil specified in the
table.
3. Add the rest of the petrol.
4. Close the container and shake well.
5.2 Chain lubricant
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damage to the appliance
Due to the metallic abrasion it contains,
the use of used oil for lubricating the
chain would lead to premature wear of
the guide rail and saw chain. Also, the
warranty of the manufacturer will be-
come void.
■
Never use used oil, only biologically
degradable saw chain oil.
