FUELING
DANGER
Alternative fuels, such as E-20 (20% ethanol), E-85 (85%
ethanol) or any fuels not meeting requirements are NOT
approved for use in 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of
alternative fuels may cause performance problems, loss
of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended
machine operation, including, but not limited to, improp-
er clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause
premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carbure-
tors and other engine components.
NEVER use raw (unmixed) fuel, or any high-ethanol fuel (ethanol
content greater than 10%) such as E20 -E85, in a two-stroke
engine.
Fuel containers lled with 2-stroke engine fuel/oil mix should be identied as
containing fuel/oil mix, and should be stored separately to prevent using raw or
high ethanol gasoline in a two-stroke engine.
RULES FOR SAFE FUELING
WARNING! The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to Cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING! Gasoline and gasoline vapors contain chemicals known to the
State of California to Cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
DANGER! Gasoline is an extremely ammable fuel. If spilled or ignited
by a spark or other ignition source, it can cause re and serious burn injury, or
property damage. Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix.
WARNING! Use only approved safety containers that do not leak to
store and dispense fuel. It is best to use a container with a sealable spout
and resealable vent to help minimize spillage. DO NOT USE GLASS
CONTAINERS FOR GASOLINE.
WARNING! Fuel your chain saw in well-ventilated outside areas only.
Select bare ground for fueling. AVOID spilling any fuel on your clothing or
shoes. If this happens change into clean clothing immediately. Wipe off any
spilled fuel and check for leakage before starting the chain saw. If fuel leakage
is discovered, do not start or run the chain saw until the leak is xed and any
spilled fuel has been wiped away. Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3m)
from the fueling point before starting the engine.
WARNING! Chain saw vibration can cause an improperly tightened
fuel cap to loosen or come off and allow fuel to escape. After refueling, take
care to inspect and clean any debris off the fuel cap seal and tighten the cap
as much as possible by hand. Be sure the fuel cap is properly tightened and
sealed before starting the unit.
WARNING! ALWAYS INSPECT your fuel cap for damage or leaks. If you
experience leaking of fuel onto your clothing or shoes, do not start or use the
saw until you have changed your clothing! DO NOT USE A Chain saw WITH A
LEAKY CAP! Order a new replacement cap immediately before using the saw.
