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 chain saw, woodworking would never be
the same again.
The line of innovative chain saws 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 following this operators manual's advice on usage, service,
and maintenance, its lifespan can be extended. If you should need professional help with repair or
service, please use the Service Locator at www.mcculloch.com.
McCulloch has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to
modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.
