Preparing to Operate the Chainsaw
Step 3 - Filling with Engine Fuel and lubrication
This product is powered by a 2-Stroke engine and requires pre-mixing of petrol and 2-stroke oil.
Mix a high quality 2-Stroke engine oil according JASO FC classic. Do not use automotive oil or
2-stroke outboard oil. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in a 30 day period.
3a. FUEL MIXTURE: 1 Litre (1000 ml) petrol: 25cc (25 ml) 2 Stroke engine oil (40:1 ratio)
Using a funnel and keeping the bottle level, pour the fuel in the left hand side (‘A’) up to the
required level eg 2.5 or 5 then fill the right hand side (‘B’) up to the same corresponding mark
with oil. Please ensure that no fuel has leaked into B prior to pouring in oil. Shake vigorously to
mix the two products prior to pouring into the tank of grass trimmer.
NOTE!
Use 5 for 500ml fuel mixture and 2.5 for 250ml fuel mixture.
3b. FILLING FULE TANK
Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on
a clean surface. Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid spillage. Prior to replacing the fuel cap,
clean and inspect the seal located inside the fuel cap . Immediately replace fuel cap and
hand tighten. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
NOTE!
It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after first use.
3C FILLING THE LUBRICATION
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with petrol you must also top up the level of chain oil in the
chain oil reservoir.
Use special chainsaw oil to lubricate the saw chain.
NOTE!
Most stores will sell acceptable oil under the name “Chainsaw chain oil”.
Important!
The fuel mix is added into fuel tank(C), chain lubrication oil is filled into oil
reservoir(D). Seal one cap prior to removing the second cap. If you put the fluid into the wrong
tank seek assistance from an expert immediately.
