A WARNING or CAUTION identifies a procedure which, if not undertaken or if improperly done, can result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the unit. The (WARRANTY SYMBOL) serves notice that unless instructions or procedures are followed, any damage caused will void the warranty and repairs will be at owner's expense.

E N G L I S H This unit is designed for occasional homeowner use and should not be used for commercial purposes or subjected to heavy continuous use. Your new chain saw can be used for a variety of projects such as cutting firewood, making fence posts, felling small trees, limbing, pruning at ground level, and light carpentry. If you find any damage or if any parts are missing, promptly inform dealer where you bought the chain saw. Your new chain saw will require adjustment of chain and filling the oil tank with lubricating oil before the unit is ready for operation. Do not install any other size bar and chain than what is recommended for your model. Using a straight screwdriver, turn the chain adjustment screw counterclockwise as far as it will go, or until tang is to the end of its travel. Loop saw chain over drive sprocket with the cutting edges of the chain pointing in the direction of rotation. Place the slotted end of guide bar over the bar bolt so the tang fits into the lower hole in the guide guide bar. Slide the sprocket support up and push the bar bolts through the sprocket support. Replace or repair any damaged or frayed extension cords before using your saw. Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not be caught on branches or other objects during cutting. Your appliance is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. double insulation construction consists of 2 separate "layers" of electrical insulation. Appliances built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, the extension cord used with your appliance can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet. Normal safety precautions must be observed when operating an electrical appliance. The double insulation system is only for added protection against injury resulting from a possible internal electrical insulation failure. For service information, contact the McCulloch Product Service Department toll-free number listed on the back cover of this manual. Small trees up to 6-7" (1518cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. A retreat path (A) should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. [. . . ] This can be done using a soft wire small enough to insert E into the oil discharge hole. Using a screwdriver, putty knife, wire brush or other similar 6-1B instrument, clear residue from the rails on the guide bar. This I will keep the oil passages open to provide proper lubrication to the bar and chain (Figure 6-1B). Unless you have experience and specialized training for dealing with kickback (see Safety Precautions), always use a low-kickback saw chain, which significantly reduces the danger of kickback.
