CHAIN MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
7-1.   PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
WARNING
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. Low-kickback saw chain does not com-
pletely eliminate kickback. A low-kickback or “safety chain”,
should never be regarded as total protection against injury.
A low-kickback  saw chain  should always be  used in  con-
junction with other kickback protection devices such as the
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. A  double  insulated appliance  is
marked with the words, “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOU-
CHAIN LUBRICATION:
Always make  sure  the automatic  oiler system  is  working
properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Genuine Factory Parts
Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil.
Adequate  lubrication of  the  bar and  chain during  cutting
operations is  essential to  minimize friction  with the  guide
bar.
Never starve  the bar and  chain of lubricating  oil. Running
the saw dry  or with too  little oil will decrease  rapid cutting
efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of the
chain, and lead to excessive wear of the bar from overheat-
ing.Too little oil is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.
BLE  INSULATED”.   The  symbol
(square   within  a
CHAIN BRAKE /Hand Guard  furnished with your unit.
®
square) may also be marked on the  appliance.
Always  use a  replacement  saw chain  designed  as “low-
kickback” or a saw chain which meets the low-kickback per-
formance   requirements    of  ANSI   (American    National
Standards Institute).
A standard  saw  chain (a  chain which  does not  have  the
kickback reducing guard  links) should only  be used by  an
experienced professional chain saw operator.
1.
Place switch  in  OFF position  and unplug  the power
supply before  the appliance  is serviced,  cleaned, or
maintenance is performed.
2.
3.
Keep the air  intake clean and air  vents free of debris
to avoid overheating the motor.
Clean  with  a damp  sponge  and  mild  soap. Do  not
squirt with a  water hose or douse  with water or other
liquids.
WHAT IS A LOW-KICKBACK SAW CHAIN?
A low-kickback saw chain is a chain which has met the kick-
back performance requirements of ANSI B175.1.
4.
5.
Inspect the saw  chain for proper tension before  each
use   and   frequently   during   cutting.   Sharpen   as
required.
Clean the guide  bar and bar pad  to ensure free path
for oil.
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 sys-
tem of your chain saw over the  life of the product.
WARNING
Never  remove,  modify   or  make  inoperative   any  safety
®
device furnished with your  unit. The CHAIN BRAKE /Hand
Guard and  low-kickback  saw chain  are major  safety fea-
tures provided for your protection.
WARNING
Always wear heavy duty protection work gloves and discon-
nect the extension cord when working  on the saw chain.
6.
7.
Turn the bar over after each use to achieve even wear.
No  motor   lubrication  is   necessary.  The   motor  is
equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
If the saw does  not operate, turn switch to  OFF posi-
tion and disconnect  the extension cord, first  from the
power  supply, then  from  the saw.  Check  the power
supply for blown  fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If  it
still does not operate, contact the McCulloch Product
Service Department, through the toll-free number list-
ed on the back cover of  this manual, for service infor-
mation. Do not  attempt to repair  it yourself. No  serv-
iceable parts are inside.
8.
CHAIN TENSION:
Check the chain  tension frequently and adjust  as often as
necessary  to keep  the  chain snug  on the  bar,  but loose
enough  to be  pulled  around by  hand.  (See Section  3-4,
Saw Chain Tension Adjustment).

CHAIN REPLACEMENT INFORMATION

Drive Links
BREAKING IN A NEW SAW CHAIN
16”
Bar
55 DL
A new chain and bar will need readjustment after as few as
five (5) cuts.This  is normal during  the break-in period,  and
the interval between future  adjustments will begin  to len-
gthen quickly.
There may be other quality equivalent replacement compo-
nents for achieving kickback protection.
Over a period of time, however, the moving parts of the saw
chain will become  worn, resulting in what  is called CHAIN
STRETCH. This is normal. 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  nearest
Authorized Service Center to have this  repair performed.
