Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks and flames. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result. · Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired. · Move at least 3m (10 ft. ) from refueling location before starting the engine. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix. IMPORTANT Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use. 14 LUBRICATING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN Automatic Oiling System 1. Remove oil fill cap and fill reservoir with a quality, low viscosity guide bar and saw chain oil. NOTE The discharge volume of the automatic oiler is preset to deliver 3 to 4 cc/min. During heavy or dry cutting conditions the oil discharge volume may be adjusted to assure adequate lubrication. [. . . ] Remove the spark plug and pour 7 cc (1/4 oz. ) of fresh, clean, two-stroke engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Pull the recoil starter handle 2-3 times to distribute the oil inside the engine. Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until the piston reaches the top of its travel and leave it there. IMPORTANT Some tree sap and resins are corrosive. Thoroughly wash the guide bar and sprocket areas after each use, then coat metal parts with light oil. 4. [. . . ]
