KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinch- es the saw chain in the cut.

  • Page 7: Other Safety Precautions

    3. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the saw. 4.
  • Page 8 6. DO NOT start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree. 7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. 8.

    18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard. 19. DO NOT operate your chain saw near or around flammable liquids or gases whether in or out of doors. An explo- sion and/or fire may result. 20. USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-building materials.

    2-3B 2-3A 2-3. MORE ABOUT KICKBACK WARNING DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK! Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw and result in serious or fatal injury to the saw oper- ator or to anyone standing close by. Always be alert. Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback are major chain saw operational dangers and the leading cause of most accidents.

    NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower part of bar. This is normal. 4. Install the clutch cover and tighten the 2 screws. Make sure the chain does not slip off of the bar. Install the 2 nuts hand tight and follow tension adjustment instructions in Section 3-4.
  • Page 17 3-4A 3-4B NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it binds, too much tension has been applied. This requires minor adjustment as follows: A. Loosen the 2 bar retaining nuts so they are finger tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar adjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly.

  • Page 25: Saw Chain / Bar Lubrication

    5-6. SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBRICATION Adequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential at all times to minimize friction with the guide bar. Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the saw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, short- en saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating.

  • Page 26: General Cutting Instructions

    6 - GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS - INSTRUCTIONS POUR LA COUPE - INSTRUCCIONES DE CORTADO GENERALES 6-1. FELLING Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut.
  • Page 27 6-1B 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. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR FELLING TREES: Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).
  • Page 28 6-1D 6-1C 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 guidebar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction.

    6-2A 6-3A 6-2. LIMBING Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Figure 6-2A). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

    7-2A 7-2. AIR FILTER CAUTION Never operate saw without the air filter. Dust and dirt will be drawn into engine and damage it. Keep the air filter clean! TO CLEAN AIR FILTER: 1.Remove the top cover (A) by loosening the cover retaining screws. Cover will lift off. 2.Lift the air filter (B) out of air-box (C) (Figure 7-2A).

    TOOLS FOR LUBRICATION: The McCulloch Lube Gun (optional) is recommended for applying grease to the guide bar sprocket tip. The Lube Gun is equipped with a needle nose tip which is necessary for the efficient application of grease to the sprocket tip.

  • Page 38: Entretien

    8-1A TO LUBRICATE SPROCKET TIP: WARNING Wear heavy duty work gloves when handling the bar and chain. 1. Move the STOP switch down. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip. Lubrication can be done on the job.

  • Page 39: Entretien De La Chaîne

    To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar maintenance procedures are recommended. BAR WEAR - Turn guide bar frequently at regular intervals (for example, after 5 hours of use), to ensure even wear on top and bottom of bar. BAR GROOVES - Bar grooves (or rails which support and carry the chain) should be cleaned if saw has been used heav- ily or if saw chain appears dirty.

  • Page 40: Chain Lubrication

    Never have more than 3 links removed from a loop of chain. This could cause damage to the sprocket. CHAIN LUBRICATION: Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly. Keep the oil tank filled with McCulloch Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil.
