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. Later, in the 1970s and 80s, trimmers and
blower vacs were added to the 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.biz. McCulloch has a policy of continuous product development
and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of
products without prior notice. This manual can also be downloaded at

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct
exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter
is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch
to the stop setting.
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
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.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has
been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting attachment you are using. See
chapter on Technical data.
!
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard.
See the chapter on Technical data. If an
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can
cause serious personal injury.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on
checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler. Regularly check that the
muffler is securely attached to the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must
be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may
lead to serious damage.
8 English
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping.
This also applies at idle speed. Contact
can result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT! Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around
the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration.
!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
!
WARNING! Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
!
indoors or near combustible material!
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in
order to: · Reduce the risk of blade thrust. · Obtain maximum cutting
performance. · Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT! Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the
chapter on Technical data. Refer to the instructions for the cutting
attachment to check the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord
diameter.
· Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords. These have been
tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use the
recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
· Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa. This
is because when clearing using a cord the engine must throw out the cord
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being
cleared.
· The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord requires greater
engine power than a shorter cord of the same diameter.
· Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact. This is used to
cut the cord to the correct length.
· To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for a couple of
days. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer.
!
WARNING! Always stop the engine before doing any work on the cutting
attachment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has
stopped completely and disconnect the
HT lead from the spark plug before you
start to work on it.
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment
!
may increase the risk of accidents.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel safety
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel
to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt 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.
Transport and storage
· Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any
leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example,
from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/ switches or
boilers.
· When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended
for this purpose.
· When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied.
Contact your local petrol station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
· Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out
before long-term storage.
· The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the
machine is being transported or in storage.
· Secure the machine during transport.
· In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine, the spark plug cap
must always be removed during long-term storage, if the machine is not under
close supervision and when performing all service measures.
!
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.
Fuel
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been
run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to
accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct
mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small
inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are
!
highly inflammable and can cause
serious injury when inhaled or allowed to
come in contact with the skin. For this
reason observe caution when handling
fuel and make sure there is adequate
ventilation.
Petrol
CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least 90 octane (RON). If
your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical
data) always use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol
will destroy the catalytic converter. Use low-emission petrol, also known as
alkylate petrol, if it is available.
· The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you run the engine on a lower
octane grade than 90 socalled knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high
engine temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.
· When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
· For best results and performance use Universal, Universal powered by
McCULLOCH two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for our
aircooled two-stroke engines.
· Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines, sometimes
referred to as outboard oil (rated TCW).
· Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
· A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardise function
and decrease the life time of catalytic converters.
· Mixing ratio
1:50 (2%) with Universal, Universal powered by McCULLOCH two-stroke oil.
1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB formulated for air-cooled, two-
stroke engines.

FUEL HANDLING
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.
Fueling
WARNING! Taking the following
!
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Mix and pour fuel outdoors, where there are no sparks or flames.
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.
· Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
· If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and
cleaned.
!
WARNING! The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be
aware of the fire hazard, especially when
working near flammable substances and/
or vapours.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the refuelling area and source before
starting.
· Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve. · If you have spilt
fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
· Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause
operating problems.
· Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling
the tank.
English 13
STARTING AND STOPPING

WORKING TECHNIQUES
General working instructions
IMPORTANT! This section takes up the basic safety precautions for working with
a trimmer. 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.
6 Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine on the right side of your body. Keep all parts of your body away from the hot surfaces. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment.
Basic safety rules
1 Look around you: · To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine. · To ensure that people, animals, etc., do
not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that are thrown out by
the cutting attachment. · CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able
to call for help in the event of an accident. 2 Inspect the working area.
Remove all loose objects, such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire,
string, etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped around the cutting
attachment. 3 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy
rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and
often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction,
etc. 4 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for
possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to
move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.
5 Keep a good balance and a firm foothold. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
7 Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.
8 The engine must be switched off before moving.
9 Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in
clear sight.
!
WARNING! Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine
is running or the cutting equipment is
rotating, as this can result in serious
injury.
Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you remove material that has wound around the blade shaft as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards.You could get burnt if you touch it.
!
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear approved eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attachment
guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be
thrown up into the eyes causing
blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a
distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the
safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches. Never
swing the machine around without first checking behind you to make sure no-
one is within the safety zone.
English 15
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.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the cord.
WARNING! Sometimes branches or
!
grass get caught between the guard and
cutting attachment. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration
!
can lead to circulatory damage or nerve
damage in people who have impaired
circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure
to vibration. Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes
in skin colour or condition. These
symptoms normally appear in the
fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
· 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 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. Keep the cord parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid
pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and
damage the tool.
Trimming · Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord work at its
own pace. Never press the cord into the area to be cut.
· The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up against walls, fences, trees
and borders, however it can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,
and damage fence posts.
· Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the cord to 10-12 cm and
reducing the engine speed.
Clearing · The clearing technique removes all unwanted
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the
end of the cord strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.
· Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the
ground during normal cutting. Constant contact of this type can cause damage
and wear to the trimmer head.
Sweeping
· The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick and easy clearing
up. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool
to and fro.
16 English
· When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results.
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. The idle speed should also be well below
the speed at which the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust
gases away from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.
Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
!
adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops, contact your dealer/service
workshop. Do not use the machine until
it has been correctly adjusted or
repaired.
Muffler
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If your machine
has this type of muffler, you should clean the mesh at least once a week. This
is best done
with a wire brush. On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should
be cleaned weekly, or
replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh
should be checked, and if necessary
cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it should be replaced. If the mesh is
frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic
converter is
impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will
cause the machine to overheat and
result in damage to the cylinder and piston.
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See chapter on
Technical data to see whether
your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
!
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping.
This also applies at idle speed. Contact
can result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!

Cooling system
MAINTENANCE
spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if
necessary.
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped
with a cooling system.
2
1
The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Cooling fins on the cylinder. Clean the cooling system with a brush once a
week, 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
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark
plug can damage the piston/ cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with
a suppressor.
Two-piece shaft
The drive shaft end in the lower shaft should be lubricated with grease every
30 hours. There is a risk that the drive shaft ends (splined coupling) on
models with two-piece shafts will seize if they are not lubricated regularly.
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.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in
operating problems and starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle
speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If
the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0,5 mm.
The

Air filter
MAINTENANCE
Oiling the air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to
avoid:
· Carburettor malfunctions · Starting problems · Loss of engine power ·
Unnecessary wear to engine parts. · Excessive fuel consumption.
Always use filter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. The filter oil contains a
solvent to make it spread evenly through the filter. You should therefore
avoid skin contact.
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it. Knead the
plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the filter
inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before fitting the filter to
the machine. Never use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
Bevel gear
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are
exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it clean in warm,
soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before refitting it.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned
completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular
intervals. A damaged air filter must always be replaced.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter should be soaked in
oil. See instructions under the heading Oiling the air filter.
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.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance schedule
The following is a list of the maintenance 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
Clean the outside of the machine.
Make sure the throttle trigger lock and the throttle function correctly from a
safety point of view.
Check that the stop switch works correctly.
Check that the cutting attachment does not rotate at idle.
Clean the air filter. Replace if necessary.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has
been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Check that the trimmer head is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the trimmer
head if necessary.
Check that nuts and screws are tight.
Check that there are no fuel leaks from the engine, tank or fuel lines.
Check the starter and starter cord.
Check that the vibration damping elements are not damaged.
Clean the outside of the spark plug. Remove it and check the electrode gap.
Adjust the gap to 0.5 mm or replace the spark plug. Check that the spark plug
is fitted with a suppressor.
Clean the machine’s cooling system.
Clean or replace the spark arrestor mesh on the muffler (only applies to
mufflers without a catalytic converter).
Clean the outside of the carburettor and the space around it.
