FUEL HANDLING

Mixing
• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to
be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount
of petrol.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling
the machine’s fuel tank.
• Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a
time.
• If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Chain oil
• We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with
good adhesion characteristics.
• Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
• It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
• 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.
• Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
Fuelling
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.
Fuel safety
• 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).
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 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.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
• 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.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
• 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.
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.
!
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
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.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
Always move the machine away from
the refuelling area before starting.
!
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.
!
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.
