Dear Customer,
Thank you 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.

hine with
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.

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 machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine′s 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

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.
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.

WARNING! A slack c
and cause serious or even fatal injury.
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)

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.

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.

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.

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.
WARNING! Sometimes chips g

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.
Cutting

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.

of logs are lying together. Such
procedures drastically increase the risk

or runners and cut individually.
Remov

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.

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.

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.

Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.

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.

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.

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

touched the object.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar

Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking brake band wear
Brush off any w
brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation
of the brake. (32)
Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0,6 mm
thick at its thinnest point.
Checking the front hand guard
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects such as cracks.
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make
sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the
clutch cover. (33)
Checking the inertia brake release
Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a
stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle
and let the saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the
rear handle towards the stump.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
activated. (35)
Checking the brake trigger
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure
the chain does not touch the ground or any other object.
See instructions under the heading Starting and stopping.
Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and
thumbs around the handles.
Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting
your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let
go of the front handle.

Note: The spark arrestor screen (A) on this machine is
serviceable. The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged.
If the mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this
will cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a
machine with a muffler that is in poor condition. Never
use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or
defective. (6)
After 75 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be

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

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.
