The chainsaw may require minor assembly upon unboxing. Refer to the included assembly guide for detailed steps on attaching the guide bar and saw chain. Ensure all components are securely fastened before proceeding.
4.2 Repostaje
The PCS56 operates on a gasoline-oil mixture. It is crucial to use the correct ratio of 1:40 (gasoline:2-stroke oil). Use high-quality unleaded gasoline and a suitable 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel in a separate, approved container before pouring it into the chainsaw's fuel tank. Do not mix fuel directly in the chainsaw's tank.

Fill the chain oil reservoir with appropriate chain lubricant. The automatic chain lubrication system requires a sufficient supply of oil for proper operation and to extend the life of the chain and guide bar.
