[. . . ] For your own safety, please read and follow the safety precautions in this manual before attempting to operate your chain saw. With proper operation and maintenance, it will provide you with years of service. In the manual there will be the following call-outs: NOTE:, WARNING / CAUTION and WARRANTY. Be sure to carefully follow the step-by-step instructions in this manual to start, operate and maintain your new product. [. . . ] Using a funnel, fill oil tank with McCulloch Chain, Bar and Sprocket oil. D When using the chain saw, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The extension cord must be specifically intended for outdoor use and marked SW-A, SOW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A SJTOW-A, SJTW-A, OR SJTW. A loose chain can jump off the bar while you are cutting, as well as wear the bar and chain. Either situation, chain too loose or too tight, could cause serious personal injury. When using an electric chain saw, plug it into the extension cord only when you are ready to cut wood. NOTE: To prevent disconnection of the extension cord, tie a loose knot before connecting the ends together (Figure 44A). Small trees up to 6-7" (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Your appliance is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. double insulation construction consists of two (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. When using the chain saw, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The extension cord must be specifically intended for outdoor use and marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTOW-A, STJW, or SJTW. Inspect the extension power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. 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. A retreat path (A) should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Figure 5-1A. [. . . ] Over a period of time, however, the moving parts of the saw chain will become worn, resulting in what is called CHAIN STRETCH. When it is no longer possible to obtain correct chain tension adjustment, a link will have to be removed to shorten the chain. See your McCulloch Authorized Service Center to have this repair performed.
