User manual MCCULLOCH MCC4516FC

[. . . ] READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: When using an electric chain saw, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following. Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing a McCulloch product. 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. [. . . ] The oiler automatically delivers the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. The oil tank level can be checked in the inspection slot (A) provided on the right side of the saw. 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. The CHAIN BRAKE® is disengaged (chain can move) when the brake is pulled back and locked. This is the normal running position (Figure 4-4A). The CHAIN BRAKE® is engaged (chain cannot move) when the brake is in forward position (Figure 4-4B). nOTE: The motor will not start if the CHAIN BRAKE® is in the engaged position. The CHAIN BRAKE® should not be used for starting and stopping the saw during normal operation. Ensure the extension cord is of the proper size and type for your saw. 4-1B) is built into the rear handle that prevents the extension cord from pulling out of the handle. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord, about a foot from the end, and insert it through the hole at the end of the handle. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the tool's power supply cord. Make sure the extension cord does not come in contact with the guide bar and saw chain. Grip the saw with both hands, left hand holding the front handle (DO NOT HOLD CHAIN BRAKE ®) and the right hand holding the rear handle. Thumbs and fingers should encircle both handles (Figure 4-1C). To stop the saw, release the trigger (Figure 4-1D). NOTE: It is not necessary to maintain pressure on the LOCK/OFF button once the trigger is squeezed and the motor is running. A loose chain can jump off the bar while you are cutting, as well as wear the bar and chain. A chain that is too tight can damage the saw. [. . . ] There may be other quality equivalent replacement components for achieving kickback protection.
