guide bar by hand. If necessary, retension saw chain. When chain is properly tensioned then tighten

loose chain wears faster and may damage the guide
FUEL AND OIL HANDLING
PETROL-OIL MIXTURE
This product is powered by an air-cooled 2-stroke engine and requires premixing
petrol and 2-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be
mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. It is recommended to use
synthetic 2-stroke lubricant, to ensure top performance and engine longevity, and
automotive unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 95. The mixture
should be at 1:25 ratio, i.e. 100 ml of oil - 2.5 liter of petrol.
Before refuelling, the fuel tank filler should be cleaned in order to avoid getting dirt or water in the
fuel tank.
