produce general numbness. Continual or regular users

should therefore monitor closely the condition of their

hands or fingers. If any of the symptoms appear, seek

immediate medical advice.

3 Never carry the chainsaw with the engine running.

Whenever carrying a chainsaw, even for short distances,

the chain should be covered by the chain guard (scabbard)

and the bar should point backwards.

When transporting the chainsaw in a vehicle, secure the

saw to prevent fuel spillage.

4 To avoid kick-back, do not attempt to cut with the nose of

the bar. Ensure the engine is running at full throttle before

commencing to cut. To avoid kick-back, do not let the

nose of the bar come into contact with logs, branches, the

ground or any other obstruction. Do not allow any part of

the chain to come into contact with rock, nails or wire

fence

Ensure the chain is kept sharp and correctly tensioned.

Keep the spike or the saw body against the wood when

cutting. Use only genuine accessories and spare parts. We

recommend you have your unit periodically checked and

serviced by an authorised dealer.

Do not use chainsaw above shoulder height.

5 Do not operate the chainsaw near a naked flame or spilled

fuel. Only operate the chainsaw outside and in well ventila-

ted areas.

After re-fuelling, always wipe off any spilled fuel. Move the

chainsaw away from the fuelling point before starting the

engine.

6 Keep by-standers and animals out of the work area; at a

minimum distance of 10 m or twice the timber length. If

necessary, use warning signs to keep on-lookers at a

distance.

Carefully survey the working site to note any hazards, eg.

roads, paths, electricity cables, dangerous trees etc. Do not

use the chainsaw if the device for stopping the chain (safety

chainbrake) does not work correctly. Never place hands on

the chain whilst the engine is running. Ensure someone is

within hearing distance in case of an accident. If this is not

possible, it is recommended that users operating chain-

saws in remote areas carry an adequate first-aid kit with

them and ensure someone knows their location. Never

leave the engine running while the tool is unattended.

ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSO-

RIES.

BAR AND CHAIN

INSTALLATION

Ensure engine is always switched off before fitting or adju-

sting chain. Wear a pair of protective gloves when fitting

or adjusting chain.

A. Clutch guard

B. Inner bar plate

C. Bar mounting bolts

D. Chain tensioning screw

E. Oil hole

F. Outer bar plate

G. Bar retention nuts

H. Sprocket

I. Adjusting screw

Remove the clutch guard (A) and the outer bar plate (F).

Check that the oil hole (E) is free from impurities. Fit the chain

over the sprocket (H). Ensure correct direction of cutter tooth.

Put the bar in position over studs (C) slide it towards the

sprocket. Fit the chain into the bar groove and slide the bar

forwards.

Make sure that the tang chain tensioning screw (D) fits into the

hole in the bar (E). Replace the outer bar plate and the clutch

guard. Screw the two bar retention nuts finger tight (G).

Tension the chain by turning the adjusting screw (I) clockwise

while raising the tip of the bar. The tension is sufficient if the

chain is snug on the bar but still moves freely around the bar

when pulled by hand. Tighten the two bar retention nuts secu-

rely.

Always use the combination tool to install and tension the

chain.

RUNNING IN A NEW CHAIN

The chain must always be cold when carrying out adjust-

ment.

1 Let the chain run slowly for a few minutes. Check that the

oil pump is delivering oil onto the chain.

2 Stop the engine and adjust the chain tension.

3 Check the tension of a new chain more frequently during

initial usage and adjust as necessary.

4 Repeat adjusting until the chain does not stretch any more.

Never touch the chain while the engine is running.

FUEL MIX

Use only fuel recommended by this manual. This product

is fitted with a 2-stroke engine and therefore requires a

2-stroke petrol and oil mix. Use leaded (4 Star) or unleaded

petrol with a minimum octane rating of 90.

Only use oil from sealed containers. In order to obtain a good

fuel mix, put the oil into the container before the petrol.

The use of sub-standard petrol or oil may reduce perfor-

mance or reduce the life of certain components.

LEADED PETROL

If using leaded petrol, the correct fuel mix is achieved by

either using 5% (20:1) of a well known brand of 2-stroke

engine oil, or else 2.5% (40:1) of special McCulloch engine

oil.

UNLEADED PETROL

If using unleaded petrol, you must use a totally synthetic 2-

stroke engine oil or McCulloch branded 2-stroke engine oil. In

either case use 2.5% (40:1) of oil.

IMPORTANT

Always shake this fuel mix vigorously each time you use it.

We recommend to carry out this operation each time you use

the fuel.

Fuel mix properties deteriorate with time, we therefore recom-

mend 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.
