Fuel Safety
The following are absolutely forbidden when fuelling:
• Smoking.
• To have flames or hot objects in close
proximity.
• To have the engine running.
!
Petrol
Always provide for good ventilation
when handling fuel.
Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol. The
lowest octane recommended is 90. 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.
!
CAUTION! The one-man sawmill, which is equipped
with a two-stroke engine, must always be run on a
mixture of petrol 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.
