It has a two-stroke engine similar to newer models made by Homelite. The recommended fuel mixture is a 50-to-1 ratio of unleaded gasoline and two-cycle ...
Most of the older Homelite saw such as this one ran a 32:1 ratio, however, the oils were quite different then, you can run a 40:1 ratio using up to date 2 cycle air cooled engine oils.
The header says that it is an electric saw which would only require bar oil. A 2-stroke gas engine, however, does require fuel mixed with a modern saw oil at 40:1 ratio plus bar/chain oil in it's own tank as well. Always premix the fuel and oil in a separate can and shake well even before filling the saw. Hope this helps!
Generally you're looking at a 50:1 ratio on most chainsaws and I wouldn't see any reason the homelite should be any different. Usually it's one 2.5oz container of the oil mixture to one gallon of gasoline but check the label to be sure.
