Your two-stroke engine is powered by a mixture of gaso-
line and engine oil.
Only regular gasoline may be used. Never use high
octane gasoline as
it contains benzol which would
permanently damage the carburetor diaphragms.
Only use STIHL two-cycle engine oil or other branded two-
cycle engine oils for mixing. The mix ratio is 1:40
(1 pari oil
to 40 parts regular gasoline) with STIHL two-cycle engine
oil or 1:25 for other branded engine oils.
Important: Always shake mixture in fuel can
vigorously before fueling.
Chain Oil
Oil filler cap open
The service life of the cutting attachment (Oilomatic chain
and guide bar) depends
on good lubrication and the quality
of the lubricating oil.
Never use waste oil for this purpose!
Always use the chain lubricating oil approved by STIHL
and appointed dealers.
If special chain lubricating oil is not available, one of the
high-duty, single grade engine oils listed below may be
used
in an emergency, depending on the outside
temperature.
Outside temperature +10°C
+40°C: SAE 30
Outside temperature +
1Q°C -10°C: SAE 20
Outside temperature
-10°C -30°C: SAE 20 W or
SAE
10 W
Always top up with chain oil when you refuel. Carefully
clean the area around the filler caps before opening and
make sure that no dirt falls into the tank while you are
refueling.
