ADJUSTMENT
WARNING!
Saw chain stretches during use, particularly when it is new. It will
occasionally be necessary to adjust and tighten.

FUEL
USE FRESH UNLEADED FUEL (PETROL), 90 OCTANE OR BETTER – DO NOT use E10 or
Ethanol blends. Mix with a premium grade air cooled 2-Stroke oil at a ratio of 40:1
Mix fuel with 2-stroke oil in an approved container. Shake gently to ensure a thorough mix.
WARNING!:
Never use raw fuel without oil in your unit. This will cause permanent
engine damage and void your warranty. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored
for over 90 days.

The 2 stroke oil must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines and must be mixed at a 40:1 ratio with the fuel. Bynorm 2 Stroke engine
oil is recommended. Mixing the fuel at a greater ratio than 40:1 provides insufficient
lubrication and will cause engine damage and voids your warranty.
