DOLMAR
Chain oil
Use an oil with adhesive additive for lubricating the chain and
guide bar. The adhesive additive prevents the oil from being
flung off the chain too quickly.
We recommend the use of chain oil which is bio-degradable in
order to protect the environment. The use of bio-degradable oil
may even be required by local regulations.
The chain oil BIOTOP sold by DOLMAR is made of special
vegetable oils and is 100% bio-degradable. BIOTOP has been
granted the "blue angel" (Blauer Umweltschutz-Engel) for being
particularly environment-friendly (RAL UZ 48).
E
BIOTOP chain oil is available in the following sizes:
1 l order number 980 008 210
5 l order number 980 008 211
20 l order number 980 008 213
Bio-degradable oil is stable only for a limited period of
time. It should be used within 2 years from the date of
manufacture (printed on the container).

CAUTION:
This saw is powered by petroleum products (gasoline
(petrol) and oil).
Be especially careful when handling gasoline (petrol).
Do not smoke. Keep tool well away from open flames, spark,
or fire (explosion hazard).
Fuel mixture
This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled two-stroke
engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine
oil.
The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a
min. octane value of 91 (R+M)/2. In case no such fuel is avail-
able, you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not
affect the engine.
In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protect
your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only.
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke air-
cooled engines (quality grade: JASO FC or ISO-L-EGD), which
has to be added to the fuel. The engine has been designed for
use of DOLMAR High Performance two-stroke engine oil and a
mixture ratio of ONLY 50:1 to protect the environment. In addition,
a long service life and reliable operation with a minimum emis-
sion of exhaust gases are ensured. DOLMAR High Performance
two-stroke engine oil is available in the following sizes:
2.6 oz order number 986 100 100
6.4 oz order number 986 100 101
In case DOLMAR High Performance two-stroke engine oil is not
available, it is recommended to use a mixture ratio of 50:1 with
other synthetic two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimum
operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.
The correct mixture ratio:
50:1 when using DOLMAR High Performance two-stroke
engine oil, i. e. mix 50 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.
50:1 when using other synthetic two-stroke engine oils (qual-
ity grade JASO FC or ISO-L-EGD), i. e. mix 50 parts
gasoline with 1 part oil.
NOTE:
For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity with
half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Thoroughly
shake the mixture before filling it into the chain saw tank.
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to ensure
safe operation. This will only result in a higher production of
combus-tion residues which will pollute the environment
and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as
the muffler. In addition, fuel consumption will rise and
performance will decrease.
The Storage of Fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures
age through evaporation, especially at high temperatures.
Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting problems
and damage the engine.Purchase only that amount of fuel,
which will be consumed over the next few months. At high
temperatures, once fuel has been mixed it should be used
up in 6-8 weeks.
Use only approved and marked containers for transport
and storage. Store fuel only in dry, cool and secure
locations!
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended
period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may
result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your
eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.
If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
