13 Fuel and chain lubricating oil | Preparing for operation
We recommend the use of the calibrated container
supplied with the chain saw for mixing the fuel mix.
DO NOT MIX THE PETROL AND OIL DIRECTLY IN
THE FUEL TANK.
Screw off the fuel tank cap (Fig. 6, point 2) and
pour in the fuel. Then screw the cap back on.
Storing fuel
Only store fuel in a clean, safe and approved canister.
Inform yourself about and adhere to local directives
related to the type and storage of canisters fi lled with
fuel.
ATTENTION! Fuel for two-stroke engines may separate. Prior to every use, thoroughly shake the canister
with fuel.
ATTENTION! Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to consume within one month.
7. PREPARING FOR OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Follow instructions for preparing the fuel mix! Not following these instruction may damage
the engine! Do not use fuel that has been stored for longer than two months. A fuel mix stored for longer than
two months will cause problems at start up and lower engine performance. If the fuel mix is stored for longer
than two months, it should be removed and new fuel must be used.
Check for damaged, worn out or missing parts of the power tool. Never use the power tool if it is damaged,
incorrectly adjusted or incomplete.
Check whether any screws, nuts and installation elements are loose. Tighten any loose screws.
Check whether the air fi lter is dirty. Prior to starting work, remove all dirt from the air fi lter.
Check that the chain is tensioned. You can lift a correctly tensioned chain in the middle of the guide bar in the
horizontal position by 3 to 4 mm
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and fuel stains.
Check the fuel tank for leaks.
Check the work area, the item being cut and the cutting direction. Remove obstacles.
Never commence work if the work area is not cleared, if you do not have a stable stance and if you do not
have a planned escape route in the event of a falling tree.
Pay increased attention and keep passers-by and pets away from the work area at a distance of at least
2.5 times the length of the item being cut.
