Chainsaw fuel mixing tips

• Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used, add the entire amount of oil, mix (agitate) the fuel mixture, then add the remaining amount of fuel.
• Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
• Mix (agitate) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank.
• Mix the correct ratio as specified by the manufacturer.

To find the fuel mix ratio, please refer to the operator’s manual for your product.

The fuel and oil mixture should always be 2% (50:1). We recommend that you use Husqvarna oil mixtures.
