INTRODUCTION

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 f ollowing this operators manual’ s advice on usage, service, and maintenance, its lif espan can be extended. If you should need professional help with repair or service, please use the Service Locator at www.mcculloch.biz.

McCulloch has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting. The stop switch automatically returns to the start position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug when assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance.

Hand guard

The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact with the moving blades, for e xample, if the oper ator loses grip on the front handle.

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve 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. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Mufﬂer

The mufﬂer is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user . A mufﬂer ﬁtted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.

Check that the hand guard is ﬁtted correctly. Check that the hand guard is undamaged.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.

The machine transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine

The engine body, including the blades, is suspended on the handlebar using four rubber bushings.

s handle unit.

In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a signiﬁcant risk of ﬁre. We therefore ﬁt certain mufﬂers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the mufﬂer on your machine is ﬁtted with this kind of mesh.

For mufﬂers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.

Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

Regularly check that the mufﬂer is securely attached to the machine.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

If the mufﬂer on your machine is ﬁtted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

WARNING! Mufﬂers ﬁtted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and

remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of ﬁre!

WARNING! The inside of the mufﬂer contain chemicals that may be

carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged mufﬂer.

WARNING! Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot

and may contain sparks which can start a ﬁre. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

Gear

The gear housing gets hot when the machine has been in use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear housing.

Blade and blade guard

The outer part of the blades (1) are shaped as blade guards. The blade guard is intended to protect against any part of the body coming into contact with the blades.

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted. Replace the cutting unit if it is bent or damaged.

FUEL HANDLING

Fuel safety

Never start the machine: 1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and

allow remaining fuel to evaporate.

2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,

change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.

3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for

leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

• Allow the hedge trimmer to cool down after use before putting it away for storage.

• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked ﬂames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/ switches or boilers.

• When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose.

• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to ﬁnd out where to dispose of excess fuel.

• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.

• The transport guard must always be ﬁtted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage.

• Secure the machine during transport.

WARNING! Take care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of ﬁre, explosion

and inhaling fumes.

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke

engine and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inﬂammable and can cause

serious injury when inhaled or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this reason observe caution when handling fuel and make sure there is adequate ventilation.

Petrol

CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least

90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on T echnical data) alw ays use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.

Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is available.

• The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 socalled knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.

• When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended.

Two-stroke oil

• For best results and performance use Universal, Universal powered by McCULLOCH two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for our aircooled two-stroke engines.

• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated TCW).

• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

• A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardise function and decrease the life time of catalytic converters.

• Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%) with Universal, Universal powered by

McCULLOCH two-stroke oil. 1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB

formulated for air-cooled, two-stroke engines.

FUEL HANDLING

Mixing

• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.

• Always start by ﬁlling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.

• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before ﬁlling the machine’s fuel tank.

• Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.

• If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

WARNING! The catalytic converter mufﬂer gets very hot during and after

use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the ﬁre hazard, especially when working near ﬂammable substances and/ or vapours.

Fueling

WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of ﬁre:

Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.

Always shut off the engine before refuelling.

Refuel in a well ventilated area. Never fuel the machine indoors.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine awa y from the refuelling area and source before starting.

• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.

• Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems.

• Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before ﬁlling the tank.

MAINTENANCE

Carburettor

Adjustment of the idle speed

Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air ﬁlter is clean and the air ﬁlter cover is ﬁtted. Make sure the start throttle position is disengaged.

Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is necessary to readjust. First turn the T screw clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to move. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine runs smoothly in every position. The idle speed should also be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts to move.

Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.

is incorrectly adjusted or that too much oil has been mixed with the petrol.

On mufﬂers ﬁtted with a catalytic converter, the mesh must be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it must be replaced. If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the mufﬂer. A blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston.

CAUTION! Ne v er use a machine with a def ective m ufﬂer .

WARNING! Mufﬂers ﬁtted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of ﬁre!

Cooling system

WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment

stops, contact your dealer/service workshop. Do not use the machine until it has been correctly adjusted or repaired.

Mufﬂer

CAUTION! Some mufﬂers are ﬁtted with a catalytic

converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether your machine is ﬁtted with a catalytic converter.

The mufﬂer is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause ﬁre if directed against dry and combustible material.

Some mufﬂers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If your machine has this type of mufﬂer, the mesh must be cleaned. This is best done with a wire brush.

On mufﬂers without a catalytic converter, the mesh should be cleaned or replaced if necessary once a week. If the mesh is damaged it must be replaced. If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the carburettor

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of: 1 Cooling ﬁns on the cylinder. 2 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder). 3 Air intake through the crankcase (inside the tank). Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more

often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

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.

16 – English

MAINTENANCE

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 0,5 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

CAUTION! 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.

Air ﬁlter

The air ﬁlter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:

• Carburettor malfunctions

• Starting problems

• Loss of engine power

• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.

• Excessive fuel consumption. Clean the ﬁlter every 25 hours, or more regularly if

conditions are exceptionally dusty.

Oiling the air ﬁlter

Always use ﬁlter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. The ﬁlter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the ﬁlter. You should therefore avoid skin contact.

Put the ﬁlter in a plastic bag and pour the ﬁlter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the ﬁlter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before ﬁtting the ﬁlter to the machine. Nev er use common engine oil. This would drain through the ﬁlter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.

Gear

There is a plug for ﬁlling lubricant on the gear housing. Use the grease tube to ﬁll with grease and repeat every 25 hours. Use Husqvarna’s special grease.

Cleaning the air ﬁlter

Remove the air ﬁlter cover and tak e out the ﬁlter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Allow the ﬁlter to dry and then oil it in according to the instructions.

An air ﬁlter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely . The ﬁlter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A dama ged air ﬁlter

must always be replaced.

CAUTION! The gear housing must not be ﬁlled

completely with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up during operation. If the gear housing was completely ﬁlled with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.

Cutting unit

Check that the cutting units' screws are ﬁtted correctly. Tighten them with a tightening torque of 7-10 Nm.

English – 17

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and lubrication

Clean any resin and plant residue from the blades using cleaning agent 531 00 75-13 (UL22) before and after using the machine.

Check that the blade edges are not damaged or deformed. File away any burrs.

Check that the blades move freely. Remove the lubrication plug in the gear housing and stick in the combination spanner and turn back and forth.

Lubricate the blade bars with special grease, part no. 531 00 75-12 (UL 21) before long periods of storage.

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 genom årtiondena, och verksamheten utökades, först 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-koncernen vidare på den tradition av kraftfulla motorer, 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 utformad för att vara din följeslagare under en lång tid framöver. Genom att följa råden i bruksanvisningen gällande användning, service och underhåll kan produktens livslängd utökas. Om du behöv er professionell hjälp med reparation eller service, kan du an vända dig av vår Service Locator på www.mcculloch.biz.

McCulloch arbetar ständigt med att vidareutveckla sina produkter och förbehåller sig därför rätten till ändringar beträffande bl.a. form och utseende utan föregående meddelande.

Den här bruksanvisningen kan också laddas ned från www.mcculloch.biz.

ALLMÄNNA SÄKERHETSINSTRUKTIONER

Stoppkontakt

Stoppkontakten ska användas för att stänga av motorn.

Starta motorn och kontrollera att motorn stängs av när stoppkontakten förs till stoppläget. Stoppkontakten återgår automatiskt till startläge. För att undvika ofrivillig start, måste därför alltid tändhatten avlägsnas från tändstiftet vid montering, kontroll och/eller underhåll.

Handskydd

Handskyddet skall skydda handen från att komma i kontakt med de arbetande knivarna, t ex om användaren förlorar greppet om främre handtaget.

Kontrollera regelbundet avvibreringselementen efter materialsprickor och deformationer. Kontrollera att avvibreringselementen är hela och fast förankrade.

VARNING! Överexponering a v vibrationer kan leda till blodkärls- eller nervskador hos personer som har blodcirkulationsstörningar. Uppsök läkare om ni upplever kroppsliga symptom som kan relateras till överexponering av vibrationer. Exempel på sådana symptom är domningar, avsaknad av känsel, ”kittlingar”, ”stickningar”, smärta, avsaknad eller reducering av normal styrka, förändringar i hudens färg eller dess yta. Dessa symptom uppträder vanligtvis i ﬁngrar, händer eller handleder. Riskerna kan öka vid låga temperaturer.

Ljuddämpare

Ljuddämparen är konstruerad för att ge så låg ljudnivå som möjligt samt för att leda bort motorns avgaser från användaren. Ljuddämpare utrustad med katalysator är även konstruerad för att reducera skadliga ämnen i avgaserna.

Kontrollera att handskyddet sitter fast. Kontrollera att handskyddet är helt.

Avvibreringssystem

Din maskin är utrustad med ett avvibreringssystem, vilket är konstruerat att ge en så vibrationsfri och behaglig användning som möjligt.

Maskinens avvibreringssystem reducerar överföringen av vibrationer mellan motorenhet/skärutrustning och maskinens handtagsenhet.

Motorkroppen inklusive knivar, hänger i handtagen via fyra gummibussningar.

28 – Svenska

I länder med varmt och torrt klimat är risken för bränder påtaglig. Vi har därför utrustat vissa ljuddämpare med ett sk. gnistfångarnät. Kontrollera om din maskins ljuddämpare har ett sådant nät.

För ljuddämpare är det mycket viktigt att instruktionerna för kontroll, underhåll och service följs.

Använd aldrig en maskin som har en defekt ljuddämpare.

Kontrollera regelbundet att ljuddämparen sitter fast på motorn.

ALLMÄNNA SÄKERHETSINSTRUKTIONER

Är din maskins ljuddämpare utrustad med ett gnistfångarnät, skall detta rengöras regelbundet. Ett igensatt nät leder till varmkörning av motorn med allvarlig motorskada som följd.

VARNING! Katalysatorljuddämparen blir mycket het såväl vid användning som

efter stopp. Detta gäller även vid tomgångskörning. Beröring kan orsaka brännskador på huden. Var uppmärksam på brandfaran!

VARNING! Ljuddämparen innehåller kemikalier som kan vara

cancerframkallande. Undvik kontakt med dessa kemikalier ifall ljuddämparen skulle gå sönder.

VARNING! Tänk på att: Motorns avgaser är heta och kan innehålla gnistor vilka

kan orsaka brand. Starta därför aldrig maskinen inomhus eller nära eldfängt material!

Växel

Efter arbete med maskinen blir växeln varm. Ta ej på växeln för att undvika brännskador.

Kniv och knivskydd

Yttersta delen av knivarna (1) är formade som ett knivskydd. Knivskyddet är avsett att skydda mot att någon kroppsdel kommer i kontakt med knivarna.

Kontrollera knivskyddet så att det är oskadat och utan deformeringar. Byt ut klippagg regatet om det är böjt eller skadat.

BRÄNSLEHANTERING

Bränslesäkerhet

Starta aldrig maskinen: 1 Om du spillt bränsle på den. Torka av allt spill och låt

bensinresterna avdunsta.

2 Om du spillt bränsle på dig själv eller dina kläder, byt

kläder. Tvätta de kroppsdelar som varit i kontakt med bränsle. Använd tvål och vatten.

3 Om maskinen läcker bränsle. Kontrollera regelbundet

efter läckage från tanklock och bränsleledningar.

Transport och förvaring

• Låt häcksaxen svalna av efter arbetet innan ni stoppar undan den för förvaring.

• Förvara och transportera maskinen och bränslet så att eventuellt läckage och ångor inte riskerar att komma i kontakt med gnistor eller öppen låga, exempelvis från elmaskiner, elmotorer, elkontakter/ strömbrytare eller värmepannor.

• Vid förvaring och transport av bränsle ska för ändamålet speciellt avsedda och godkända behållare användas.

• Vid längre tids förvaring av maskin ska bränsletanken tömmas. Hör med närmaste bensinstation var du kan göra dig av med bränsleöverskott.

• Se till att maskinen är väl rengjord och att fullständig service är utförd innan långtidsförvaring.

• Skärutrustningens transportskydd ska alltid vara monterat under transport eller förvaring av maskinen.

• Säkra maskinen under transport.

VARNING! Var försiktig vid hantering av bränsle. Tänk på brand-, explosions- och

inandningsrisker.

Drivmedel

OBS! Maskinen är försedd med en tvåtaktsmotor och

måste alltid köras på en blandning av bensin och tvåtaktsolja. För att säkerställa rätt b landningsförhållande är det viktigt att noggrant mäta den oljemängd som skall blandas. Vid tillblandning av små bränslemängder inverkar även små felaktigheter i oljemängden kraftigt på blandningsförhållandet.

VARNING! Bränsle och bränsleångor är mycket brandfarliga och kan ge allvarliga

skador vid inandning och hudexponering. Var därför försiktig vid hantering av bränsle och sörj för god luftventilation vid bränslehantering.

Bensin

OBS! Använd alltid oljeblandad kvalitetsbensin med

minst 90 oktan (RON). Om din maskin är utrustad med katalysator (se kapitel Tekniska data) skall alltid blyfri oljeblandad kvalitetsbensin användas. En blyad bensin förstör katalysatorn.

Där miljöanpassad bensin, s.k. alkylatbensin ﬁnns tillgänglig ska sådan användas.

• Rekommenderat lägsta oktantal är 90 (RON). Om man kör motorn på bensin med ett lägre oktantal än 90 kan så kallad spikning uppträda. Detta leder till ökad motortemperatur, som kan orsaka svåra motorhaverier.

• Vid arbete med kontinuerligt höga varvtal rekommenderas högre oktantal.

Tvåtaktsolja

• För bästa resultat och funktion använd Universal, Universal powered by McCULLOCH tvåtaktsolja, som är speciellt tillverkad för våra luftkylda tvåtaktsmotorer.

• Använd aldrig tvåtaktsolja avsedd för vattenkylda utombordsmotorer, s.k. outboardoil (benämnd TCW).

• Använd aldrig olja avsedd för fyrtaktsmotorer.

• En låg oljekvalitet eller för fet olje/bränsle blandning kan äventyra katalysatorns funktion och minska dess livstid.

• Blandningsförhållande 1:50 (2%) med Universal, Universal powered by

McCULLOCH tvåtaktsolja. 1:33 (3%) med andra oljor gjorda för luftkylda

tvåtaktsmotorer klassade för JASO FB/ISO EGB.
