FUEL HANDLING
!
Fuelling
WARNING!The following precautions reduce
the risk of fire:
• Do not smoke or place any sources of heat in
the vicinity of the fuel.
• Never refuel when the engine is running.
• Open the fuel cap slowly when fuelling so
that any over pressure is released slowly.
• Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
• Always move the machine from the fuelling
place before starting.
• Keep the handle dry, clean
and free from oil and fuel.
• Clean around the fuel cap.
Clean the fuel tank
regularly. The fuel filter
should be changed at least
once per year
Contamination in the tank
can disrupt operations.
Ensure that the fuel is well
mixed by shaking the
container before filling the
tank.
• Always exercise care when
filling the fuel. Move the cut-
off saw at least three metres
from the filling area before
starting. Make sure the fuel
cap is tightened.
IMPORTANT! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke
engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline
and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture
is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small
inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
Always provide for good ventilation when
handling fuel.

Fuelmix
Petrol
• Use good quality unleaded
or leaded petrol.
• The lowest octane
recommended is 90 (RON).
If you run the engine on a
lower octane grade than 90
so-called knocking can
occur. This gives rise to a
high engine temperature,
which can result in serious
engine damage
Two-stroke oil
• For best results and
performance use
HUSQVARNA two-stroke
engine oil, which is specially
formulated for our air-cooled
two-stroke engines.
• Never use two-stroke oil
intended for water-cooled
engines, sometimes
referred to as outboard oil
(rated TCW).
• Never use oil intended for
four-stroke engines.
Mixing ratio
1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA
two-stroke oil or equivalent.
1:33 (3%) with oils class
JASO FB or ISO EGB
formulated for air-cooled, two-
stroke engines.
Mixing
• Always mix the petrol and
oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling half
the amount of the petrol to
be used. Then add the
entire amount of oil. Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture.
Add the remaining amount
of petrol.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture
thoroughly before filling the
saw’s fuel tank.
• Do not mix more than max.
one month’s supply of fuel.
• If the cut-off saw is not used
for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and
cleaned.
