Please read the operator's manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine.

ThankyouforchoosingaMcCullochproduct.Youaretherebypartofastorythatstartedlong ago,when the McCulloch Corporation started its manufacturing of engines during World War II. In 1949, when McCulloch introduced its first light one-man chain saw, woodworking would never be thesame again.

The line of innovative chain saws 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. Later, in the 1970sand80s,trimmersand blower/vacswereaddedtothe range.

Today, as a part of the Husqvarna group, McCulloch continues the tradition of powerful engines, technical innovations, and strong designs that have been our hallmarks for more than half a century. Lowering fuel consumption, emissions and noise levels are of top priority to us, as is improving safety and user-friendliness.

We certainly hope that you will be satisfied with your McCulloch product, as it is designed to be your companion for a long time. By following this operators manual's advice on usage, service, and maintenance, its lifespan can be extended. If you should need professional help with repair or service, please use the Service Locator at www.mcculloch.com.

  • Chain catcher. Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is firmly attached to the body of the chainsaw.
  • Vibration damping system. Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Makes sure the vibration damping units are securely attached to the engine unit and handle unit.

- ON/STOP switch. Start the engine and makesuretheenginestopswhenyoumove theON/STOPswitchtotheSTOPposition.

MAINTAIN YOURSAW IN GOODWORKING ORDER

• Have all chains awservice performed by a qualified serviced dealer with the exception of the items listed in the maintenance section of this manual. Forexample, if impropertools are used to remove or hold the flywheel whenservicing the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel can occur and cause the fly-wheeltoburst.
- Make certain the saw chain stops moving when the throttle trigger is released. For correction, refer to CARBURETORADJUSTMENTS.
- Nevermodify yoursawinanyway. Use onlyattachments suppliedorspecifically recommendedbythemanufacturer.
- Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
- Keepfuelandoilcaps, screws, and fasteners securely tightened.
- Use only McCulloch accessories and replacement parts as recommended.

KICKBACK

MCCULLOCH CS 360T - KICKBACK - 1

WARNING: Avoid kickback which

canresultinserious injury. Kickbackisthe backward, upward or sudden forward motion of the guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the upper tip of the guide bar contacts any objects such as a logarithor branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the wood can also result in loss of chainsaw control.

CHAINOIL

  • We recommend the use of special oil (chainoil) with good adhesion characteristics.
  • Neverusewasteoil. This results in damagetotheoilpump, the bar and the chain.
  • It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
  • In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oilsbecometooviscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components.
  • Contactyourservicedealerwhenchoosingchainoil.
