F D E I P
GUIDE BAR
The factory-equipped guide bar has a small radius tip that
offers reduced kickback potential.
LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
The low kickback saw chain helps minimize the force of a
kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from digging in
too deeply at the kickback zone.

PRIMER BULB

The primer bulb pumps fuel from the fuel tank to the
carburettor.
THROTTLE TRIGGER
The throttle trigger is used for controlling chain rotation.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never
add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Move at least 10 metres from refuelling
site before starting the engine. DO NOT SMOKE!
Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
FUEL AND REFUELING
HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. If any are found, correct
them before using the saw to prevent fire or burn
injury.
Always handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
■
Always refuel outdoors, do not inhale fuel vapours.
■
Do not let petrol or lubricant come in contact with skin.
■
If contact does occur wash immediately with soap and
plenty of water
Keep petrol and lubricant away from the eyes. If
■
gasoline or lubricant comes in contact with the eyes,
wash them immediately with clean water. If irritation is
still present, see a doctor immediately.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately. Refer to Refuelling
■
in the Specific Safety Rules section of this manual for
additional safety information.
MIXING THE FUEL
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and
■
requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-cycle lubricant. Pre-
mix unleaded petrol and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a
clean container approved for petrol.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol
■
intended for automotive use with an octane rating of
91 or higher.
Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/lubricant
■
from fuel service stations; this includes the pre-

OXYGENATED FUELS

Some conventional petrol are blended with alcohol or an
ether compound. This type of petrol is collectively referred
to as oxygenated fuels.
If using an oxygenated fuel, make sure it is unleaded and
meets the minimum octane rating requirements. Before
using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel's contents.
Some areas require this information to be posted on the
pump. The following are the EPA approved percentages of
oxygenates:
Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You
may use petrol containing up to 10% ethanol by volume.
Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed under the
name "Gasohol." Do not use E85 fuel.
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You
may use petrol containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You
may use petrol containing up to 5% methanol by volume
as long as it also contains co solvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Petrol containing more
than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or
performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber,
and plastic parts of the product or your fuel system. If you
notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another
service station or switch to another brand of Petrol.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems
resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing
more than the percentages of oxygenates stated previously
are not covered under warranty.

mixed petrol/lubricant intended for use in mopeds,
motorcycles, etc.
Use a high quality 2-cycle self-mixing lubricant for air-
cooled engines. Do not use automotive lubricant or
2-cycle outboard lubricant.
Mix 2% lubricant into the petrol. This is a 50:1 ratio.
Mix the fuel thoroughly and each time before fuelling.
Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger
than usable in a 30-day period. A 2-cycle lubricant
containing a fuel stabilizer is recommended.
Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent
contamination.
