The chainsaw utilises a 2-stroke engine which runs on a mixture of regular unleaded fuel and

WARNING! The chainsaw should NOT be used with petrol only. This will cause permanent damage
to the engine and will void your warranty.

caution may prevent the engine from being suitable lubricated.
CAUTION! Using 2-cycle oils designed for mixing ratio other than 40:1 will void your warranty.
CAUTION! Do not use a fuel/oil mixture which has been stored for more than 90 days.
