Holding the nose of the bar up, use the screwdriver or
scrench if provided in your User’s Kit to turn the guide
bar  adjustment  screw  (E)  (Fig.  3-5C)  clockwise  to
tighten  the   chain.  Turning   the  screw   COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE  LOOSENS THE  CHAIN  on the  guide
bar.
Ensure the extension cord is of the proper size and type for
your saw.

cord (B). Plug  the extension cord  into a 110/120  volt
AC, 15 AMP receptacle (Figure 4-1A).

3.
After adjustment  and while wearing  heavy duty work
gloves,  move the  saw  chain  back and  forth  on  the
guide bar to be  sure the chain moves freely  and is in
proper mesh  with sprocket.  Do not  move chain  with
bare hands.

TO STOP MOTOR
The saw  motor will automatically  stop when  the trigger is
released. The LOCK/OFF button will have to be depressed
and the trigger squeezed to restart  the motor.
3-6.
OILING CHAIN
4.
Grip the  saw with  both hands,  left hand  holding the
front handle and the right  hand holding the rear han-
dle. Thumbs and fingers should encircle both handles
(Figure 4-1B).
To oil chain, press  oil cap. Oil will feed onto  guide bar and
chain. Press oil cap  at least once before  each cut. Always
check  oil level  before using  pole  saw. Do  not attempt  to
operate the oiler while cutting with the  pole saw.
NOTE: IF the chain  is difficult to rotate or if  it binds on the
guide bar, too much tension has been applied and must be
adjusted. To decrease  tension, turn  the adjustment screw
counterclockwise  slowly. Move  the  chain  back  and  forth
until it moves freely.
4-3. CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Always check oil level before using saw. To oil chain, press
oil cap. Do not attempt to operate the oiler while cutting with
the saw. Oil will feed onto guide bar and chain. Press oil cap
at least once before each cut. Check oil level  often.
5.
With  your RIGHT  THUMB,  depress  the LOCK/OFF
button (C)  on the side  of the rear  handle, and at the
same  time  squeeze   the  trigger.  To  stop  the  saw,
release the trigger (Figure 4-1C).
3-7.
FILLING OIL TANK
4.
Holding the nose in upper position, securely  tighten the
bar retaining nuts (70 inch lbs.)
Using a funnel,  fill oil tank with  McCulloch Chain, Bar and
Sprocket oil. Wipe up any spills. Make sure no dirt gets into
the oil tank.
CAUTION
NOTE:  It  is not  necessary  to  maintain  pressure  on  the
LOCK/OFF  button once  the  trigger is  squeezed  and the
motor is running. The LOCK/OFF button  is a safety device
to avoid accidental starting.
Never starve  the bar and  chain of lubrication  oil. Running
the saw DRY or with TOO LITTLE OIL will decrease cutting
efficiency, shorten chain saw life, and cause rapid dulling of
the chain and excessive  wear of the bar from overheating.
Too little is evidenced by smoke  or bar discoloration.
NOTE: The  saw  chain  stretches  during use,  particularly
when it is new,  and occasional adjustment will be needed.
A new chain requires more frequent  adjustment during the
break-in period.  This is  normal. See  Section 3-5  for Saw
Chain Tension Adjustment instructions.
