Always test the CHAIN BRAKE® before using your saw and periodically while on the job. oFF 3-3F 3-5B B D D 3-4A C 3-3G 8 9 4 - FUEL AND LUBRICATION 4-1. FUEL Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with Genuine Factory Parts 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. If 2-cycle lubricant other than Genuine Factory Parts Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio.

If insufficient lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty for that occurrence.
