Gasoline and Oil Mix 40:1
Recommended fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended
with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether com-
pound to meet clean air standards. Your engine is
designed to operate satisfactorily on any gasoline
intended for automotive use including oxygenated
gasolines. It is recommended to use unleaded
petrol as fuel.
Lubrication of chain and chain bar
Whenever you refi ll the fuel tank with petrol you
must also top up the level of chain oil in the chain
oil tank. It is recommended to use standard chain
oil.
Engine pre-start checks
Danger: Never start or operate the saw unless
the bar and chain are properly installed.
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture
(Fig. 8).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with chain oil (Fig. 8).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C)
before starting unit (Fig. 8).
Once you have fi lled the chain and oil tank, tigh-
ten the tank cover securely by hand. Do not use
any tools to do so.

6.4 General cutting instructions
Danger: Felling trees is prohibited without the
necessary training!
Felling
•
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree.
Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in
diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger
trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determi-
ne the direction the tree will fall.
•
A retreat path (A) should be planned and
cleared as necessary before cuts are started.
The retreat path should extend back and dia-
gonally to the rear of the expected line of fall,
as illustrated in Fig. 11.
•
If felling a tree on sloping ground, the chain
saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
•
Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the not-
ching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider
the location of larger branches and natural
lean of the tree to determine the way the tree
will fall (Fig. 11).
•
Do not cut down a tree during high or chan-
ging winds or if there is a danger to property.
Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down
