3.3 Fuel and Oil Mixing

This chainsaw uses a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Use unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle engine oil.

• Fuel Mixture Ratio: Gasoline 25 : Two-Cycle Oil 1.
• Mix the fuel in a separate, approved fuel container. Shake well before pouring into the chainsaw's fuel tank.
• Fill the motor oil tank with appropriate chain lubricant (bar and chain oil).

CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline or automotive oil in the fuel tank. This will damage the engine and void the warranty.
