  • Page 10 5. CONSIDER THE WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT: Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush and sapling, as slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you are specifically trained to do so. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
  • Page 11 11. DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can get caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 12. USE SAFETY GEAR: Use safety glasses, safety footwear, snug fitting clothing, protective gloves, and pro- tective hearing and head gear.
  • Page 12 17. STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the chain saw when you are tired. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the motor is operating. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
  • Page 13 B. Do not over reach. C. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. D. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or other obstruction. E. Do not cut above shoulder height. Use devices, such as low-kickback chain, guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and special guide bars, which reduce the risks associated with kickback.
  • Page 14 32. EXAMINE THE ELECTRICAL SWITCHES. Do not use the chain saw if the switches do not properly turn on and off. Do not attempt to make any repairs to the electric switches. Take your saw to a McCulloch Authorized Service Center.
  • Page 15 35. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the user manual safety and maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chain saw personnel. Do not attempt to repair it yourself; there are no user serviceable parts inside. 36.

  • Page 19 3-5A 3-5B NOTE: A new chain and bar will need readjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break-in period, and the interval between future adjustments will lengthen quickly (Figure 3-5A). CAUTION If a chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TIGHT, the bar chain and saw bearings will wear more rapidly. Study Figure 3-5A for information concerning correct cold tension (A), correct warm tension (B), and as a guide for when saw chain needs adjustment (C).

    (70 inch lbs.). 3-6. FILLING OIL TANK Using a funnel, fill oil tank with McCulloch Chain, Bar and Sprocket oil. Wipe up any spills. Make sure no dirt gets into the oil tank. The saw chain requires lubrication while in use to minimize friction with the guide bar. The oil tank holds 135cc of oil, enough to lubricate the chain for 12-15 minutes of sawing.

    / HAND GUARD ® All McCulloch chain saws are equipped with a CHAIN BRAKE /Hand Guard which stops a moving chain in millisec- onds, helping to reduce the hazard of kickback, a fast upward motion of the guide bar which occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the bar accidentally strikes an object or is pinched in the cut.
  • Page 26 4-4A 4-4B ® The CHAIN BRAKE is a safety feature which is activated if pressure is applied against the guard or when, in the ® event of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the CHAIN BRAKE is activated, chain movement abruptly stops and the power supply to the motor is immediately cut off.

  • Page 30 5 - GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS - INSTRUCCIONES POUR LA COUPE - INSTRUCCIONES DE CORTADO GENERALES 5-1. FELLING Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 6-7” (15- 18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts.
  • Page 31 WARNING Do not cut down a tree during high or changing winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional. ⁄ ⁄ Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts.
  • Page 32 5-1D 5-1C Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will prevent the guide bar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction.
  • Page 33 5-3A 5-2A WARNING As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree begins to fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Figure 5-1A). 5-2.
  • Page 34 5-3B 5-3C 5-3. BUCKING Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cut- ting on sloping ground. If possible, the log should be supported so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the ground.

    5-4A 5-4. BUCKING USING A SAWHORSE For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct position for vertical bucking is essential (Figure 5-4A). VERTICAL CUTTING: A. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the saw to the right of your body while cutting. B Keep the left arm as straight as possible.

  • Page 38 GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw well maintained. Incorrect filing and non-uniform cutter and depth gauge settings cause most guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen, which may cause chain clatter and difficulty in making straight cuts.
