User manual MCCULLOCH MXC1840DH

[. . . ] 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 order to make the best use of your investment, be CERTAIN to familiarize yourself with the contents of the ENTIRE user manual before attempting to operate and maintain your unit. Be sure to carefully follow the step-by-step instructions in this manual to start, operate and maintain your new product. [. . . ] Never start or operate the saw unless the bar and chain are properly installed. Be certain the CHAIN BRAKE® is disengaged (C) before starting unit (Figure 5-1A). After warm up - See the User's Manual section 5-2, step 7 - If unit does not Idle after restarting 2 times, follow these steps to adjust idle. Using a Phillips or slotted screwdriver - turn screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise (to the right). (Figure 5-2H) NOTE: If chain turns while idling - turn screw back to the left until chain stops and unit continues to idle. Mix fuel with Genuine McCulloch brand 2 cycle oil in an approved container. Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet clean air standards. Your McCulloch engine is designed to operate on any gasoline intended for automotive use including oxygenated gasolines. We recommend using Genuine McCulloch Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil, which contains additives to reduce friction and wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch formation on the bar and chain. Latch throttle advance: depress latch and hold (C) squeeze throttle trigger (D) release trigger and then the latch. 5-2E) NOTE: Easy Start power assist starting significantly reduces the pulling effort. Pull the starter cord slowly to about 3 1/2 feet, the power assist will turn over the engine with little resistence from the engine. Latch throttle advance: depress latch and hold squeeze throttle trigger release trigger and then the latch. If the engine still can not start, follow the step as "To start engine" section in this user manual. Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Figure 6-1D). Keep the chain from touching anything; don't let the saw tip forward. 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 6-1A. 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 6-1A). If chain does not stop, turn engine off and take your unit to the nearest Authorized Service Center for service. [. . . ] For the inexperienced chain saw user, we recommend that the saw chain be professionally sharpened by the nearest Authorized Service Center. If you feel comfortable sharpening your own saw chain, special tools are available from the nearest Authorized Service Center. Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw well maintained.
