FUEL HANDLING

!

Fuelling

WARNING!The following precautions reduce
the risk of fire:

• Do not smoke or place any sources of heat in

the vicinity of the fuel.

• Never refuel when the engine is running.
• Open the fuel cap slowly when fuelling so

that any over pressure is released slowly.

• Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
• Always move the machine from the fuelling

place before starting.

• Keep the handle dry, clean

and free from oil and fuel.

• Clean around the fuel cap.

Clean the fuel tank
regularly. The fuel filter
should be changed at least
once per year
Contamination in the tank
can disrupt operations.
Ensure that the fuel is well
mixed by shaking the
container before filling the
tank.

• Always exercise care when

filling the fuel. Move the
power cutter at least three
metres from the filling area
before starting. Make sure
the fuel cap is tightened.

IMPORTANT! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke
engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline
and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture
is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small
inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

Always provide for good ventilation when
handling fuel.

Fuelmix

Petrol

• Use good quality unleaded

or leaded petrol.

• The lowest octane

recommended is 90.

• If you run the engine on a

lower octane grade than 90
so-called, knocking can
occur. This gives rise to a
high engine temperature,
which can result in serious
engine damage.

Two-stroke oil

• For the best results use

PARTNER two-stroke oil,
which is especially
developed for power
cutters. Mixing ratio 1:50
(2%).

• If PARTNER two-stroke oil

is not available, you may
use another two-stroke oil of
good quality that is intended
for air cooled engines.
Contact your dealer when
selecting an oil. Mixing ratio
1:33 (3%)-1:25 (4%).

• Never use two-stroke oil

intended for water cooled
outboard engines, so-called,
outboard oil.

• Never use oil intended for

four-stroke engines.

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
saw’s fuel tank.

• Do not mix more than max.

one month’s supply of fuel.

• If the power cutter is not

used for some time the fuel
tank should be emptied and
cleaned.
