FILLING THE TANKS
Lay the saw on its side and remove the fuel tank
cap (Fig. 11). Fill with a fresh mixture of high
octane leaded or unleaded gasoline and Cutters
Edge Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil or a high quality two-
cycle oil. Replace the fuel cap.
IMPORTANT!
• Fuel/Oil Mix ratio using Cutters
Edge Oil ... 100:1
• Using synthetic oils mix ... follow oil
manufacturers recommendation
• Using any petroleum based oil ... 50:1.
Next, remove the bar and chain oil tank cap
(Fig. 11) and fill the tank with bar and chain oil.
Replace the cap.
You do not need special detergent oils; as the
chain reaches high enough temperatures to
prevent the buildup of tars on the chain. We
recommend the use of Cutters Edge Bar & Chain
Oil for its excellent lubricating and anti-sling
properties. This oil has been developed to
provide high flash and fire points for optimum
performance during harsh fire-ground
applications, with high flow properties for use,
even in extreme cold temperatures. This anti-
rust, anti-wear formula is recommended for use
on all Fire Rescue saws and on conventional
chainsaws.

Please note that each time you
fill up or top off the fuel tank,
always top off the bar and chain
oil tank. The fuel tank and the
bar and chain oil tank are sized
so that the saw will always run out of fuel
before it runs out of bar and chain oil,
eliminating the possibility of running the
chain without proper lubrication.
WARNING!
Do not mix the bar and chain
oil with diesel fuel, kerosene or
any solvents as this actually
reduces its lubricating
properties, increases its flash
point and does not reduce
tar buildup on the chain.
