IMPORTANT
Always shake this fuel mix vigorously each time
you use it. Fuel mix properties deteriorate with
time, we therefore recommend that you only
make the quantity of fuel mix you will need for
each usage. Do not use fuel mix more than a week
old as this could damage the engine.
WARNING
Do not smoke when re-fuelling. Always open the
fuel cap slowly. Re-fuel in open spaces only,
keeping away from naked flames or sparks.
Always store fuel in an approved container.
SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL
Petrol is highly inflammable. Put out all cigarettes,
pipes and cigars before working with petrol.
Avoid spilling petrol. Store fuel in a cool, well
ventilated place, in an approved container
specifically designed for the purpose. Never
store engine with fuel in the tank in enclosed,
poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may
reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such as
in a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer etc.
Petrol fumes can cause an explosion or a fire. Do
not store large amounts of fuel. To prevent
possible restarting problems avoid running the
fuel tank dry. This also helps to extend engine
life.
CHAIN LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT The service life of the bar and chain
depends on good lubrication.
Always use chain lubricating oil of medium
viscosity. We recommend special McCulloch
chain lubricating oil. Never use waste oil for this
purpose. This results in damage to the bar, the
chain and the oil pump. Refill the chain oil tank
each time the saw is refuelled.
NOTE: Saw chain stretches during use, particularty
when it is new, and it will occasionally be necessary
to adjust and tighten it. A new chain will require
adjustment after about 5 minutes of operation.
• The mechanical oil pump for chain lubrication
can be adjusted.
The feed rate of the chain oil pump can be
adjusted by means of the regulating screw (A)
(see details in the illustration). The oil feed rate is
increased by turning the regulating bolt
counterclockwise
.
IMPORTANT - The chain oil feed is reduced to a
minimum when the regulating bolt
is completely
closed (turning clockwise) .
STARTING AND
STOPPING
IMPORTANT - Never start or operate the saw
unless bar and chain are properly installed.
Before starting always move the saw away from
the fuelling area and place it on firm, flat
surface, the guide bar to the front.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
Check that the chain brake is in the disengaged
position moving the lever (L) backwards (towards
the front handle). Check that the ignition switch is
not in the “STOP” position.
Depress thrtottle trigger lockout (A). Depress
throttle trigger (B) and then pull up the throttle
lock (C).
Release first the throttle trigger (B) and then the
throttle lock (C).
In this way the throttle lock engages and your left
hand is free to grip the saw firmly.
Pull out the choke control (E). Activate the
decompression pressing the valve (D). Hold the
saw firmly as shown in illustration and pull the
starter rope until the engine fires once.
Push in the choke control (E). Re-activate the
decompression system by depressing valve (D).
Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.
Allow engine to warm up for a few seconds,
holding the saw firmly.
Beware of moving chain.
Release the safety lock by pressing the throttle
trigger (B).
STOP. The engine is stopped by moving the
ignition switch to STOP position.
IMPORTANT. After lengthy use of the chain saw at
full speed, we recommend to run the engine for a
few seconds at idle speed before stopping it.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
Check that the ignition switch is not in the “stop”
position and do not use the throttle lock.
Hold the saw firmly, press valve (D) for
decompression and pull the starter rope.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE AFTER FUELLING
In the fuel tank as run completely dry, procede to
start as with a cold engine.
