Refuelling the Chainsaw

Petrol - especially petrol vapour - can easily be ignited by a spark or even a hot surface while refuelling the chainsaw. If you're careless, there's a risk of being badly burnt.

Follow the safe procedures:

• Stop the motor.
• Place the chainsaw on clear ground.
• Fill the oil tank first to allow the chainsaw to cool down.
• Take care not to spill fuel on hot motor components.
• Wipe any spilt fuel from the chainsaw.
• Move at least three metres away from the fuelling point before restarting.
• Do not smoke while refuelling your chainsaw.
• Do not use glass containers for fuel or oil. Use a properly constructed metal or approved container that does not leak. Note: Consult your owner's manual for correct fuel/oil mixtures as serious damage can be caused by incorrect mixes.
