Dear Customer ,

Thank y ou for choosing a McCulloch product. You are thereby part of a story that started long ago, when the McCulloch Corporation started its manufacturing of engines during World War II. In 1949, when McCulloch introduced its first light one-man chainsaw, woodworking would never be the same again.
The line of innovative chainsaws would continue over the decades, and business was expanded, first by airplane and kart engines in the 1950s, then by mini chainsaws in the 1960s. Later, in the 1970s and 80s, trimmers and blower vacs were added to the range.
Today, as a part of the Husqvarna group, McCulloch continues the tradition of powerful engines, technical innovations, and strong designs that have been our hallmarks for more than half a century. Lowering fuel consumption, emissions and noise levels are of top priority to us, as is improving safety and user-friendliness.
We certainly hope that you will be satisfied with your McCulloch product, as it is designed to be your companion for a long time. By following this operators manual’s advice on usage, service, and maintenance, its lifespan can be extended. If you should need professional help with repair or service, please use the Service Locator at www.mcculloch.com.
McCulloch has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.

Chain brake and front hand guard

Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release mechanism. (3)
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is pushed forwards. (3)
• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive system (D) (clutch drum). (4)
• The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if you lose grip of the front handle.
• The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.
• Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when starting and when moving over short distances, to reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting your leg or anyone or anything close by.
• To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard backwards, towards the front handle.
• Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain saw firmly and not let go.
• The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the bar strikes.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback direction.
If the kickbac the bar is closer to you the chain brake will be activated manually by the movement of your left hand.
k is less violent or the kickback zone of
10 – English
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• In the felling position the left hand is in a position that mak
es manual activation of the chain brake impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia action.
Will my hand alwa brake during a kickback?
No. It tak
es a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You should also maintain a firm grip of the chain saw handles while working. If you do and experience a kickback, your hand may never leave the front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or the chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung around a considerable distance. In such instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw chain before it touches you.
There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.
Will my inertia activ always activate during kickback in the event of a kickback?
No. First your brake must be in working order. Testing the brake is simple, see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment. We recommend you do before you begin each work session. Second the kickback must be strong enough to activate the chain brake. If the chain brake is too sensitive it would activate all the time which would be a nuisance.
Will my chain brake al from injury in the event of a kickback?
No. First, the chain br provide the intended protection. Second, it must be activated during the kickback as described above to stop the saw chain. Third, the chain brake may be activated but if the bar is too close to you the brake might not have enough time to slow down and stop the chain before the chain saw hits you.
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate kickback and its danger.
Throttle trigg
The throttle lockout is designed to pre operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.

Chain catcher

The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained (see instructions under the heading General working instructions).

Right hand guard

Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps
, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs
from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimiz operation easier. The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machines handle unit. The body of the chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration damping units.
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to cir
!
damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. These symptoms may be increased in cold temperatures.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Sharpening your chain and adjusting depth gauge setting

General information on sharpening cutting teeth
• Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt it will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.
• A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and produces long, thick chips or shavings.
• The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B). The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference in height between the two (depth gauge setting).
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important factors to remember.
1 Filing angle 2 Cutting angle 3 File position 4 Round file diameter
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and cutting performance from your chain.
See instructions under the heading Technical data for information about sharpening your chain.
WARNING! The risk of kic increased if the depth gauge setting is
!
too large!
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
• The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
• You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge.
• Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool, will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge tool.

increases the risk of kickback.
Sharpening cutting teeth
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a file gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical data for information on the size of file and gauge that are recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.
• Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to sharpen correctly.
• Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on one side first, then turn the chain saw over and file the teeth on the other side.
• File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32") the chain is worn out and should be replaced. (8)
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
• When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be filed down to achieve the recommended depth gauge setting. See instructions under the heading Technical data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your particular chain. (7)
om the
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand. (9)
• Loosen the bar nut that holds the clutch cover and chain brake. Use the combination spanner. Then retighten the bar nut as tightly as you can by hand.
(10)
• Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening the chain tensioning screw using the combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the underside of the bar. (11)
• Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nut while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can pull the saw chain round freely by hand, and that there is no slack on the underside of the bar. (12)

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Lubricating cutting equipment

WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting equipment ma
!
which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its flo whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
TANT!
IMPOR oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
Filling with chain oil
• All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.
• The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).
Checking chain lubrication
• Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about
20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
• Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean. Clean if necessary.
• Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean and lubricate if necessary.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the above checks and associated measures you should contact your service agent.
Chain drive sprocket
The clutch drum is fitted with a spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum).
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket whenever you replace the chain.
When using vegetable based saw chain

w characteristics regardless of
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Check the chain daily for:
• Visible cracks in rivets and links.
• Whether the chain is stiff.
• Whether rivets and links are badly worn. Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points
above. We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn. When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.
Guide bar
Check regularly:
• Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar (A). Remove these with a file if necessary. (13)
• Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn (B). Replace the bar if necessary. (13)
• Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to running with a slack chain.
• To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over regularly.

Mount the clutch cover and remember to fit the chain adjuster pin in the hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is correctly located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar nut with your fingers.
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar. (11)
The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the bar, and it can still be turned easily by hand. Tighten the bar nut with the combination spanner while holding up the tip of the bar. (12)
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting performance and long life. (9)

General working instructions

IMPORTANT! This section describes basic safety rules for using a
chain saw. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your chain saw dealer, service agent or an experienced chain saw user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!
Before using a chain saw you must understand the effects of kickback and how to avoid them. See instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the difference between cutting with the top and bottom edges of the bar. See instructions under the headings How to avoid kickback and Machine’s safety equipment.
Wear personal protectiv under the ”Personal protective equipment” heading.

Basic safety rules

1 Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.
• To make sure that none of the above might come within reach of your saw or be injured by falling trees.
CAUTION! Follow the instructions above, but do not use a chain saw in a situation where you cannot call for help in case of an accident.
2 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
(27)
e works correctly and is not
e equipment. See instructions
3 Take great care when removing small branches and
avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious injury.
4 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.
5 Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension.
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal position before or after being cut. If you position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause serious personal injury.
6 Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine
and lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the chain saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards. Fit a guard to the bar before transporting the chain saw or carrying it for any distance.
7 When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off before leaving your chain saw for any length of time.

General rules

1 If you understand what kickback is and how it happens
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk. Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be very sudden and violent.
2 Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles. You should use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimises the effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw under control. Do not let go of the handles!
3 Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing in the way that might make you trip or lose your balance.
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree or some other object.
Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the saw chain and be thrown towards you. This is not necessarily dangerous in itself, but you may be surprised and lose control of the saw. Never saw
English 19
WORKING TECHNIQUES
stacked logs or br them. Only saw one log or one piece at a time. Remove the cut pieces to keep your working area safe.
4 Never use the chain saw above shoulder height
and try not to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use the chain saw one-handed! (28)
5 You must have a steady stance in order to have full
control over the chain saw. Never work standing on a ladder, in a tree or where you do not have firm ground
to stand on. (29) 6 Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle. 7 Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the
bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object.
This is known as cutting on the push stroke. The chain
tries to push the chain saw back towards the user. If
the saw chain is jamming, the saw may be pushed
back at you. 8 Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a
risk that the chain saw will move so far backwards that
only the kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the
tree, which will lead to a kickback. (30)
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the
top of the object downwards, is known as cutting on
the pull stroke. In this case the chain saw pulls itself
towards the tree and the front edge of the chain saw
body rests naturally on the trunk when cutting. Cutting
on the pull stroke gives the operator better control over
the chain saw and the position of the kickback zone. 9 Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining
your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and
chain use only combinations that are recommended
by us. See instructions under the headings Cutting
equipment and Technical data.

Terms
Cutting = General term for cutting through wood. Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree. Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off
before the cut is complete.
There are five important factors you should consider before making a cut:
1 Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the
cut. 2 Make sure the object you are cutting will not split. 3 Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any
other object during or after cutting. 4 Is there a risk of kickback? 5 Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how
safely you can stand and move about? Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is supported before and after cutting, and the second is whether it is in tension.
In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in two stages; from the top and from the bottom. You need to support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split during cutting.
IMPORTANT! If the chain jams in the cut: engine! Don’t try to pull the chain saw free. If you do you may be injured by the chain when the chain saw suddenly breaks free. Use a lever to open up the cut and free the chain saw.
The following instructions describe how to handle the commonest situations you are likely to encounter when using a chain saw.
Limbing
When limbing thick branches you should use the same approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

General
• Always use full throttle when cutting!
• Reduce the speed to idle after every cut (running the engine for too long at full throttle without any load, i.e. without any resistance from the chain during cutting, can lead to serious engine damage).
• Cutting from above = Cutting on the pull stroke.
• Cutting from below = Cutting on the push stroke.
Cutting on the push stroke increases the risk of kickback. See instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
20 – English
WARNING! Never attempt to cut logs
y are in a pile or when a couple
while the
!
of logs are lying together. Such procedures drastically increase the risk of kickback which can result in a serious or fatal injury.
If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut should be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse or runners and cut individually.

chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full throttle but be prepared for what might happen. (31)
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3 of the way through the log.
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side. The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk
that it will split. Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through). Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet. The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk
that the chain will jam. Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through). Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
Tree felling tec
IMPORTANT! It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!
Safe distance
The safe distance between a tree that is to be f anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths. Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or during felling. (37)
Felling direction
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb and cross-cut the log as easily as possible. You want it to fall in a location where you can stand and move about safely.
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.
Several factors affect this:
• Lean of the tree
• Bend
• Wind direction
• Arrangement of branches
• Weight of snow
• Obstacles within the reach of the tree: for example, other trees, power lines, roads and buildings.
• Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem, this makes it more probably that the tree will break and start to fall before you expect it to.
You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to make it fall in the direction you first intended.
hnique
There is little risk of the
elled and
Another very important factor, which does not affect the felling direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure the tree has no damaged or dead branches that might break off and hit you during felling.
The main point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another tree. It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high accident risk. See instructions under the heading Freeing a tree that has fallen badly.
IMPORT
ANT! During critical felling operations, hearing protectors should be lifted immediately when sawing is completed so that sounds and warning signals can be heard.
Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat
Delimb the stem up to shoulder height. It is safer to work from the top down and to have the tree between you and the saw.
Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and check the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes, etc.) so that you have a clear path of retreat when the tree starts to fall. Your path of retreat should be roughly 135 degrees away from the intended felling direction. (38)

with a diameter larger than the bar length of your saw!
Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the directional cuts, which consist of the top cut and the bottom cut, then you finish with the felling cut. By placing these cuts correctly you can control the felling direction very accurately.
Directional cuts
To make the directional cuts you begin with the top cut. Stand to the right of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.
Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the end of the top cut. (39)
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter through the trunk and the angle between the top cut and bottom cut should be 45°.
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional cut line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at right angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction. (40)
Felling cut
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree and it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.
Make the felling cut about 3-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) above the bottom directional cut.
ve special
English 21
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Set the spiked bumper (if one is fitted) just behind the f
elling hinge. Use full throttle and advance the chain/bar slowly into the tree. Make sure the tree does not start to move in the opposite direction to your intended felling direction. Drive a wedge or breaking bar into the cut as soon as it is deep enough. (41)
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling hinge.
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.
(42)
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling cut are badly placed.
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or breaking bar.
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See instructions under the heading Technical data section to find out which lengths of bar are recommended for your saw.
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger than the bar length. However these methods involve a much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will come into contact with the tree.

Freeing a tree that has fallen badly

Freeing a ”trapped tree”
It is very dangerous to remo high accident risk.
Never try to fell the tree that is trapped. Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree. The safest method is to use a winch.
• Tractor-mounted
• Portable
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
Preparations: Work out which side is in tension and where the point of maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was bent even more).
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain saw and use a winch.
General advice:
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or branch when the tension is released.
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as necessary to reduce the tension and make the tree or branch break at the point of maximum tension.
ve a trapped tree and there is
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in tension!
If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts, one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension is released.
Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has been released.

WARNING! Kickbac suddenly and violently; kicking the chain saw, bar and chain back at the user. If this happens when the chain is moving it can cause very serious, even fatal injuries. It is vital you understand what causes kickback and that you can avoid it by taking care and using the right working technique.

What is kickback?

The word kickbac reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar, known as the kickback zone, touches an object. (30)
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar. Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards and upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw may move in a different direction depending on the way it was being used when the kickback zone of the bar touched the object.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar touches an object. (43)
Limbing
!
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely. Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move along the trunk.

WARNING! A majority of kickbac accidents occur during limbing. Do not use the kickback zone of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious and avoid contacting the log, other limbs or objects with the nose of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious of limbs under tension.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0,6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary. (36)
Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

INLEDNING

Bäste kund!

Tack för att du använder en McCulloch-produkt! Du är därmed en del av en historia som tog sin början för länge sedan, när McCulloch Corporation startade sin tillverkning av motorer under andra världskriget. Från och med 1949, när McCulloch lanserade den första lätta enmansmotorsågen, skulle skogsarbetet aldrig bli sig likt igen.
Utvecklingen av innovativa motorsågar skulle fortsätta
tiondena, och v
genom år med motorer för flygplan och gokarts på 1950-talet, och sedan med minimotorsågar på 1960-talet. På 1970- och 80-talet utökades sortimentet med trimmers och lövblåsare.
Idag bygger McCulloch som en del av Husqvarna-
nen vidare på den tradition av kraftfulla motorer,
oncer
k tekniska innovationer och utmärkande design som varit vårt kännetecken i mer än ett halvsekel. Minskad bränsleförbrukning, minskade utsläpp och lägre ljudnivåer är av högsta prioritet för oss, på samma sätt som att förbättra säkerheten och användarvänligheten.
Vi hoppas att du kommer att vara nöjd med din McCulloch-produkt, som är utf följeslagare under en lång tid framöver. Genom att följa råden i bruksanvisningen gällande användning, service och underhåll kan produktens livslängd utökas. Om du behöver professionell hjälp med reparation eller service, kan du använda dig av vår Service Locator på www.mcculloch.com.
McCulloch arbetar ständigt med att vidareutveckla sina produkter och förbehåller sig därför rätten till ändr beträff
ande bl.a. form och utseende utan föregående
meddelande.
