FUELING AND REFUELING THE TRIMMER
HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY
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 petrol
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
Always transport and store fuel in a container approved
for petroleum.
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and
requires pre-mixing petrol and 2-stroke lubricant. Pre-mix
unleaded petrol and 2-stroke 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-mixed petrol/
lubricant intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.
Use a high quality 2-stroke self-mixing lubricant for air-
cooled engines. Do not use automotive lubricant or
2-stroke 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-stroke lubricant containing
a fuel stabilizer is recommended.
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.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. If any are found, correct
them before using the saw to prevent fire or burn
injury.
Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent
Q
contamination.
Loosen the fuel cap slowly.
Q
Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid
Q
spillage.
Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
Q
gasket.
Immediately replace the fuel cap and hands tighten it.
Q
Wipe up any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for the engine to emit smoke during
and after the first use.
