Oils and lubricants

To operate your petrol tool, you need a mixture of petrol and engine oil to power the engine.

Fuel mixture

Your petrol-powered engine requires a mixture of petrol and engine oil. The quality of the petrol and oil is extremely important to the running and life of the engine.

Unsuitable fuels or mix ratios that do not comply with the specification can seriously damage the engine (piston seizing, excessive wear.)
