INTRODUCTION Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a McCulloch product. You are thereby part of a story that started long ago, when the McCulloch Corporation started its manufacturing of engines during World War II. In 1949, when McCulloch introduced its first light one-man chainsaw, woodworking would never be the same again. The line of innovative chainsaws would continue over the decades, and business was expanded, first by airplane and kart engines in the 1950s, then by mini chainsaws in the 1960s.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Important IMPORTANT! ! The machine is only designed for trimming grass, grass clearing and/or forestry clearing. The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the chapter on Technical data. Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination. Wear personal protective equipment.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GLOVES Throttle lockout Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g. when fitting cutting attachments. The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Stop switch Use the stop switch to switch off the engine. In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of mesh. Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Locking nut Cutting equipment Grass blades and grass knifes are intended for cutting coarse grass. A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting attachment. A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass. When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Sharpening grass knifes and grass blades • See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and knifes using a single-cut flat file. • Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade. ! WARNING! Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.
ASSEMBLY Fitting the P-barrier • Push the attachment into the coupling until the attachment snaps into place. • Before using the unit, tighten the knob securely. Clip the loop handle with the P-barrier onto the shaft. Note that the loop handle must be fitted between the arrows on the shaft. • Fit the bolt, securing plate and wing nut as shown in the diagram. Tighten the wing nut.
ASSEMBLY Fitting blades and trimmer heads ! • WARNING! When fitting the cutting attachment it is extremely important that the raised section on the drive disc/support flange engages correctly in the centre hole of the cutting attachment. If the cutting attachment is fitted incorrectly it can result in serious and/or fatal personal injury. Fit the nut (G). The nut must be tightened to a torque of 35-50 Nm (3.5-5 kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool kit.
ASSEMBLY • Screw on the trimmer head/plastic blades (H) anticlockwise. • To dismantle, follow the instructions in the reverse order. Fitting the transport guard Attach the transport cover on the blade as shown. Adjusting the harness A correctly adjusted harness and machine significantly facilitates the work. Adjust the harness to give the best working position.
FUEL HANDLING Fuel safety Petrol Never start the machine: 1 If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate. 2 If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water. 3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
FUEL HANDLING Fueling Mixing • Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. • Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol. • ! Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank. WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire: Mix and pour fuel outdoors, where there are no sparks or flames.
STARTING AND STOPPING Check before starting • Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found. • Never use the machine without a guard nor with a defective guard.
STARTING AND STOPPING • Choke: Your unit is designed with a 3 position choke: Full choke, half chokeand Run position. Set the choke control in the choke position. • Squeeze throttle trigger in full position. ! • • Move the choke lever to Half Choke position as soon as the engine sounds as if it is trying to start. • Pull starter cord while trigger is in the full throttle position until engine starts. • Once engine is started leave the choke lever in Half choke position for 20 seconds.
STARTING AND STOPPING Always pull starter cord straight out. Pulling the starter at an angle will cause cord to rub against the eyelet. This friction will cause the cord to fray and wear more quickly. Always hold the starter handle when cord retracts. Never allow cord to snap back from extended position. This could cause cord to snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly. Warm engine • Set the choke control in the RUN position.
WORKING TECHNIQUES General working instructions IMPORTANT! This section describes the basic safety precautions for working with brush cutters and trimmers. If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop. Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability. You must understand the difference between forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.
WORKING TECHNIQUES Basic working techniques Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage. ! ! WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the engine before cleaning. WARNING! Machines fitted with grass blades can be thrown violently to the side when the blade comes into contact with a fixed object. This is called blade thrust.
WORKING TECHNIQUES • The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with trees and wooden fences. • When trimming and clearing, you should use less than full throttle (80%) so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head. Cutting • The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower.
MAINTENANCE Carburettor Adjustment of the idle speed Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted. Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine will run smoothly in every position.
MAINTENANCE Clean the cooling system with a brush annually or more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder. Spark plug The spark plug condition is influenced by: • Incorrect carburettor adjustment. • An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). • A dirty air filter.
MAINTENANCE Bevel gear The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease. The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out. Checking and adjusting of throttle wire Make sure the throttle cable is tight enough without giving the product gas and cutting equipment starts rotate.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule The following is a list of the maintenance steps that must be performed on the machine. Most of the items are described in the Maintenance section. The user must only carry out the maintenance and service work described in this Operator's Manual. More extensive work must be carried out by an authorized service workshop. Maintenance Weekly maintenance Clean the outside of the machine.
