4. CONSIDER THE WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT: Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush and saplings because the slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off bal- ance. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless 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.

10. DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 11. USE SAFETY GLASSES: Also use safety footwear; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves; head and protection. 12.

16. STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the chain saw when you are tired. Keep all parts of the 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.
B. Do not over reach. C. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. D. Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or other obstruction. E. Do not cut above shoulder height. F. Use devices such as low kickback chain, guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.

12. 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.

15. 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 servicea- ble parts inside. 16.
1-4. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS 1. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more cautious before rest periods and towards the end of your shift. 2. Personal protective clothing required by your safety organizations, government regulations, or your employer should be used. At all times when using a chain saw, snug-fitting clothing, protective eye wear, safety footwear, and hand, leg, and hearing protection should be worn.
Página 13
8. Do not attempt a pruning or limbing operation in a standing tree unless specifically trained to do so. 9. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar that occurs when the saw chain, at the nose of the guide bar, contacts an object.
1-5A 1-5B 1-5. 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 opera- tor or to anyone standing close by. Always be alert because rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major chain saw operational dangers and the leading cause of most accidents.
Página 15
KICKBACK may occur when the NOSE or TIP of the guide bar touches an object, or when wood closes in and pinch- es the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightening-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator.

3-4A 3-4. SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT Proper tension of the saw chain is extremely important and must be checked before starting, as well as during, any cutting operation. Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw chain will result in improved cutting per- formance and prolonged chain life.
3-5B 3-5C TO ADJUST SAW CHAIN TENSION: With no tools system - wear gloves while tensioning chain. ® NOTE: Make sure the CHAIN BRAKE is disengaged.s ® Disengage the CHAIN BRAKE (D) by pulling it backward (Figure 3-5B). 1. Tensioning the chain is easy. Turn bar bolt knob (E) counter clock wise. Then turn ring (F) counter clock wise to loosen chain or clock wise to tighten chain.

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. Notch cuts determine the direction the tree will fall.
Página 34
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; noti- fy the utility company before making any cuts.
Página 35
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.
Página 36
5-2A 5-3A 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). page 29 5-2.
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.
Il est recommandé de lubrifier la roulette après chaque usage. Nettoyer toujours complètement la roulette du guide- chaîne avant sa lubrification. Outil de lubrification : McCulloch’s Lube Gun (à jeter) Cette burette est équipée d’un bec-aiguille permettant l’accès au point de lubrification sur le guide-chaîne.

6-1A The disposable Lube Gun is packed with grease. For information on where to purchase a lube gun, contact the MTD Product Service Department toll-free number listed on the back cover of this manual. To Lubricate Sprocket Tip: WARNING Wear heavy duty work gloves when performing this application to reduce risk of personal injury. 1.
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.
6-1B 2. Using a screwdriver, putty knife, wire brush or other similar instrument, clear residue from the rails on the guide bar. This will keep the oil passages open to provide proper lubrication to the bar and chain (Figure 6-1B). 3.
What is a Low-Kickback Saw Chain? A low-kickback saw chain is a chain which has met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1. ® By keeping the CHAIN BRAKE and saw chain in good working condition and correctly serviced as recommended in this manual, you will be able to maintain the safety system of your chain saw over the life of the product.

BREAKING IN A NEW SAW CHAIN 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 begin to lengthen quickly. Over a period of time, however, the moving parts of the saw chain will become worn, resulting in what is called CHAIN STRETCH.
7- PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE - ENTRETIEN PREVENTIF - INSTRUCCIONES DE MANTENIMIENTO 7-1. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WARNING SERVICING A DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCE In this double insulated appliance, 2 systems of insulation, instead of grounding, are provided. No grounding means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. No serv- iceable parts are inside.
7. No motor lubrication is necessary. The motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings. 8. If the saw does not operate, turn switch to OFF position and disconnect the extension cord, first from the power supply, then from the saw.
