 Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small deviation of it
has a large effect on the ratio of mixture in particular for
small fuel quantities.
 Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead to more
residues of combustion, a higher fuel consumption, a
decrease of output or damages to the engine.
Mix petrol and oil in the supplied fuel mixing can (38).
Fill first petrol up to the mark

• Fuels have only a limited shelf-life. Outdated fuels and fuel
mixtures may result in starting problems. Therefore, mix only
that quantity of fuel which you can use.
• Only store fuels in containers approved and identified for
this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.
• Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach for
children.
Make sure to dispose of fuel remainders and liquids
used for cleaning according to relevant regulations and in an
environmentally compatible manner.

Fuelling the chain saw

• Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
