General

WARNING! Running an engine in a confined
or badly ventilated area can result in death
due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flammable
and can cause serious injury when inhaled
or allowed to come in contact with the skin.
For this reason observe caution when
handling fuel and make sure there is
adequate ventilation.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot
and may contain sparks which can start a
fire. Never start the machine indoors or near
combustible material!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.

Fuel

Petrol
• Use clean, fresh unleaded petrol.
• The lowest recommended octane grade is 87
((RON+MON)/2). If you run the engine on a lower octane
grade than 87 so-called knocking can occur. This gives
rise to a high engine temperature and increased bearing
load, which can result in serious engine damage.
Engine oil
Always park the machine on a level surface before checking
the oil. Keep saw leveled, without blade, when checking oil
level.
• Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too low
oil level can cause serious damage to the engine. See
instructions in section "Maintenance and service".
• Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines. Use only
Low ash engine oil, as specified in "Technical data".
NOTICE! Make sure there is always sufficient oil in the
engine.

FUEL HANDLING

Fueling

Never start the machine:
• If you have spilled fuel or engine oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spill and allow the remaining fuel to evaporate.
• If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
• If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or open flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use approved
containers intended for this purpose.
WARNING! Always stop the engine and let it
cool for a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
If the cap is not properly tightened the cap
might vibrate lose and fuel may escape from
the fuel tank creating a fire hazard.
Move the machine at least 3 m from the
refuelling point before starting it.
