FUEL HANDLING
Fuelmix
IMPORTANT! The power cutter is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using 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.
Fuelling
!
WARNING!The following precautions reduce the risk of fire:
!
Petrol
Always provide for good ventilation when handling fuel.
� 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.
� 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.
Two-stroke oil
� For the best results use HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil, which is especially developed for power cutters. Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%). � If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available, you may use another two-stroke oil of good quality that is intended for air cooled engines. Contact your dealer when selecting an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%)-1:25 (4%). � Never use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled outboard engines, so-called, outboard oil. � Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

� Always exercise care when filling the fuel. Move the power cutter at least three metres from the filling area before starting. Make sure the fuel cap is tightened.
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 power cutter is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
