REFUELLING
Never smoke whilst refu-
elling and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
Carefully open the tank
top as pressure could have formed inside.
Before refuelling:
– Shake the fuel mixture container well.
– Place the machine on a flat stable surface,
with the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
– Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding
area to avoid any dirt from entering the tank
during refilling.
– Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the
pressure inside to decrease gradually. Use a
funnel to refill and avoid filling the tank to the
brim.
Always close the fuel
tank cap firmly.
Immediately clean all tra-
ces of fuel which may have dripped on the
machine or the ground and do not start the
engine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.

WARNING!
DANGER!
CHAIN LUBRICANT
Only use special oil for
chain saws or adhesive oil for chain saws. Do not
use oil containing impurities so as not to block
the oil filter and to prevent irreparable damage to
the oil pump.
The special oil for lubricat-
ing the chain is biodegradable. Use of a mineral
oil or engine oil causes serious damage to the
environment.
It is essential that you use good quality oil to
lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or
poor quality oil does not guarantee good lubri-
cation and reduces the duration of the chain and
bar.
It is always worth topping up the oil tank com-
pletely (using a funnel) every time you refuel.
Since the oil tank capacity is enough to guaran-
tee that the fuel runs out first, you will avoid the
risk of operating the machine without lubricant.
