SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
1
All operators should read this manual carefully before  
using this chainsaw; only use this machine for usage  
specifically mentioned in this manual.  
Wear suitable clothing. This should include snugly-fitting  
(safety) clothing, sturdy boots, heavy duty gloves, goggles  
or a face screen and ear plugs or ear mufflers. Wear a hel-  
met if there is risk of falling objects or projections from  
trees.  
Brake engaged / disengaged  
Beware of kickback  
2
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the  
engine is running. Always maintain a firm foothold. Ensure  
you are able to stop the engine quickly if necessary.Do not  
work up a tree unless you have received suitable training  
and have the appropriate equipment (belts, ropes, safety  
hooks etc.) for this type of work.  
Do not cut with the end on the bar,  
this may cause kickback  
We strongly recommend that all first-time chainsaw users  
obtain practical instruction on safe chainsaw usage before  
operating the chainsaw.  
Never use the machine  
with only one hand  
Do not operate this machine when tired or under the  
influence of any substances, drugs or alcohol which can  
impair vision, dexterity or judgement.  
Always use the machine  
with both hands  
Prolonged use of chainsaws or other machines exposing  
the operator to vibration may produce Whitefinger’s  
Disease (Raynaud’s Phenomenon). This may reduce the  
hands’ ability to feel and regulate temperature and may

UK  
produce general numbness. Continual or regular users  
should therefore monitor closely the condition of their  
hands or fingers. If any of the symptoms appear, seek  
immediate medical advice.  
Never carry the chainsaw with the engine running.  
Whenever carrying a chainsaw, even for short distances,  
the chain should be covered by the chain guard (scabbard)  
and the bar should point backwards.  
When transporting the chainsaw in a vehicle, secure the  
saw to prevent fuel spillage.  
To avoid kick-back, do not attempt to cut with the nose of  
the bar. Ensure the engine is running at full throttle before  
commencing to cut. To avoid kick-back, do not let the  
nose of the bar come into contact with logs, branches, the  
ground or any other obstruction. Do not allow any part of  
the chain to come into contact with rock, nails or wire  
fence  
Remove the clutch guard (A) and the outer bar plate (F).  
Check that the oil hole (E) is free from impurities. Fit the chain  
over the sprocket (H). Ensure correct direction of cutter tooth.  
Put the bar in position over studs (C) slide it towards the  
sprocket. Fit the chain into the bar groove and slide the bar  
forwards.  
3
4
Make sure that the tang chain tensioning screw (D) fits into the  
hole in the bar (E). Replace the outer bar plate and the clutch  
guard. Screw the two bar retention nuts finger tight (G).  
Tension the chain by turning the adjusting screw (I) clockwise  
while raising the tip of the bar. The tension is sufficient if the  
chain is snug on the bar but still moves freely around the bar  
when pulled by hand. Tighten the two bar retention nuts secu-  
rely.  
Always use the combination tool to install and tension the  
chain.  
Ensure the chain is kept sharp and correctly tensioned.  
Keep the spike or the saw body against the wood when  
cutting. Use only genuine accessories and spare parts. We  
recommend you have your unit periodically checked and  
serviced by an authorised dealer.  
RUNNING IN A NEW CHAIN  
The chain must always be cold when carrying out adjust-  
ment.  
1
Let the chain run slowly for a few minutes. Check that the  
oil pump is delivering oil onto the chain.  
Do not use chainsaw above shoulder height.  
5
6
Do not operate the chainsaw near a naked flame or spilled  
fuel. Only operate the chainsaw outside and in well ventila-  
ted areas.  
After re-fuelling, always wipe off any spilled fuel. Move the  
chainsaw away from the fuelling point before starting the  
engine.  
2
3
Stop the engine and adjust the chain tension.  
Check the tension of a new chain more frequently during  
initial usage and adjust as necessary.  
4
Repeat adjusting until the chain does not stretch any more.  
Never touch the chain while the engine is running.  
Keep by-standers and animals out of the work area; at a  
minimum distance of 10 m or twice the timber length. If  
necessary, use warning signs to keep on-lookers at a  
distance.  
D
FUEL MIX  
Carefully survey the working site to note any hazards, eg.  
roads, paths, electricity cables, dangerous trees etc. Do not  
use the chainsaw if the device for stopping the chain (safety  
chainbrake) does not work correctly. Never place hands on  
the chain whilst the engine is running. Ensure someone is  
within hearing distance in case of an accident. If this is not  
possible, it is recommended that users operating chain-  
saws in remote areas carry an adequate first-aid kit with  
them and ensure someone knows their location. Never  
leave the engine running while the tool is unattended.  
ONLY USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSO-  
RIES.  
Use only fuel recommended by this manual. This product  
is fitted with a 2-stroke engine and therefore requires a  
2-stroke petrol and oil mix. Use leaded (4 Star) or unleaded  
petrol with a minimum octane rating of 90.  
Only use oil from sealed containers. In order to obtain a good  
fuel mix, put the oil into the container before the petrol.  
The use of sub-standard petrol or oil may reduce perfor-  
mance or reduce the life of certain components.  
LEADED PETROL  
If using leaded petrol, the correct fuel mix is achieved by  
either using 5% (20:1) of a well known brand of 2-stroke  
engine oil, or else 2.5% (40:1) of special McCulloch engine  
oil.  
BAR AND CHAIN  
INSTALLATION  
C
UNLEADED PETROL  
Ensure engine is always switched off before fitting or adju-  
sting chain. Wear a pair of protective gloves when fitting  
or adjusting chain.  
If using unleaded petrol, you must use a totally synthetic 2-  
stroke engine oil or McCulloch branded 2-stroke engine oil. In  
either case use 2.5% (40:1) of oil.

Always shake this fuel mix vigorously each time you use it.  
We recommend to carry out this operation each time you use  
the fuel.  
Fuel mix properties deteriorate with time, we therefore recom-  
mend that you only make the quantity of fuel mix you will  
need for each usage. Do not use fuel mix more than a week  
old as this could damage the engine.

WARNING  
Hold the saw firmly as shown in illustration and pull the starter  
rope until the engine fires once.  
Do not smoke when re-fuelling.  
Always open the fuel cap slowly.  
Re-fuel in open spaces only, keeping away from naked fla-  
mes or sparks.  
Once you hear the engine start, or attempt to start, move the  
stop/run lever (A) to the intermediate position (choke open  
––  
| | |).  
Always store fuel in an approved container.  
ATTENTION: The throttle remains partially open in this posi-  
tion and the chain may run. This allows the engine to warm  
up.  
SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL  
Petrol is highly inflammable. Put out all cigarettes, pipes and  
cigars before working with petrol. Avoid spilling petrol. Store  
fuel in a cool, well ventilated place, in an approved container  
specifically designed for the purpose.  
Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.  
Allow engine to warm up for a few seconds, holding the saw  
firmly.  
Never store engine with fuel in the tank in enclosed, poorly  
ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame,  
spark or pilot light such as in a furnace, water heater, clothes  
dryer etc. Petrol fumes can cause an explosion or a fire. Do  
not store large amounts of fuel.  
Beware of moving chain.  
ATTENTION: Squeeze and then release the accelerator trig-  
ger (B). This will allow the throttle too close and the chain  
should no longer move.  
CHAIN LUBRICATION  
IMPORTANT  
The service life of the bar and chain depends on good lubri-  
cation.  
STOP  
To stop the engine, move the stop/run lever (A) down, to the  
“STOP” position.  
IMPORTANT. After lengthy use of the chain saw at full  
speed, we recommend to run the engine for a few seconds at  
idle speed before stopping it.  
Always use chain lubricating oil of medium viscosity. We  
recommend special McCulloch chain lubricating oil.  
Never use waste oil for this purpose. This results in damage  
to the bar, the chain and the oil pump.  
STARTING A WARM ENGINE  
Leave the start/run lever (A) onto the run position (in the  
middle). Pull the starter handle until the engine runs.  
Refill the chain oil tank each time the saw is refuelled.  
IMPORTANT  
IMPORTANT: The automatic accelerator opening system  
will only function if the start/run lever (A) is moved up to  
the cold start position, and then back down to the run  
position (in the middle). Do this if the engine fails to run  
after starting.  
The chain oil feed is reduced to a minimum when the regula-  
ting bolt is completely closed (turning clockwise)  
To prevent possible restarting problems avoid running the  
fuel tank dry. This also helps to extend engine life.  
NOTE: Saw chain stretches during use particularly when it  
is new, and it will occasionally be necessary to adjust and  
tighten it. A new chain will require adjustment after about  
5 minutes of operation.  
STARTING A WARM ENGINE AFTER FUELLING  
In the fuel tank as run completely dry, procede to start as with  
a cold engine.  
• The mechanical oil pump for chain lubrication can be  
adjusted.  
F
USAGE  
The feed rate of the chain oil pump can be adjusted by means  
of the regulating screw (A) (see details in the illustration). The  
oil feed rate is increased by turning the regulation bolt coun-

Before using a chain saw read the Operator’s Manual and all  
safety precautions carefully.

FELLING TREES  
– Make sure that there are no bystanders or animals in the  
work area.  
– Study the direction of the fall of the tree and then plan your  
exit path away from the planned direction of fall.  
– Don’t fell trees when there is a strong wind.  
E
STARTING AND STOPPING  
IMPORTANT. Never start or operate unless bar and chain  
are properly installed.  
Before starting always move the saw away from the fuel-  
ling area and place it on firm, flat surface, the guide bar to  
the front.  
1
Clear the tree base of interfering limbs and brush. Clean  
the work area from stones or other objects which could  
damage the chain. If the tree has large protruding roots,  
remove them before felling (see illustrations).  
2
A) Cut a felling notch (A) of 45°on the side you want the  
tree to fall to a depth of about one third of the trunk dia-  
meter (d). Then make a felling cut (B) about 5 cm higher  
than the felling notch on the opposite side of the tree.  
Make sure that the felling cut does not go right through  
the trunk. A hinge (C) must always be left to provide  
control over the direction of the fall.  
STARTING COLD ENGINE  
Check that the chain brake is in the disengaged position  
moving the lever (L) backwards (towards the front handle).  
Move the stop/run lever (A) up to the cold start position  
––  
(choke closed | • |) When in the cold start position, this lever  
also partially opens the throttle.

UK  
B) Use wedges to control the moment and direction of the  
fall.  
H
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
Ensure engine is always switched off before any kind of  
maintenance operation.  
3
When the tree starts to fall, walk away along your preplan-  
ned escape path.  
CHAIN: Check tension regularly. A new chain will require  
more frequent adjustment. Loosen retention nuts. Tighten  
chain (see assembly instructions). Tighten retention nuts and  
adjust.  
CUTTING FALLEN TRUNKS  
4
A) Limbing thick branches. For limbing and bucking leave  
the lower limbs to support the log off the ground.  
B) Supported at one end only. Begin with a bottom cut  
made by the upper side of the bar (A); the depth of the  
cut should be about one third of the log diameter.  
Finnish with a top cut (B) meeting the first one. With this  
technique splitting, cracking can be avoided  
1
2
BAR  
– Clean the bar groove (K) and check the lubrication holes  
(L) in the bar to ensure that they are not clogged.  
– Grease sprocket periodically. Rotate sprocket and  
repeat.  
C) Supported at both ends. Begin with a top cut about  
one third of the log diameter. Then finish with a bottom  
cut (B) meeting the first one. this technique avoids the  
risk of pinching the bar in the log.  
– Rotate bar periodically to maximise bar life.  
AIR FILTER  
– A dust clogged air filter may cause carburetor problems.  
This may prevent the engine from reaching its maximum  
r.p.m. and cause high fuel consumption.  
– Remove cover.  
D) If the log is supported along its whole length it may be  
cut normally from above. Take care not to touch the  
ground with the chain.  
– Wash filter in petrol (do not use fuel which is mixed with  
oil).  
– The filter can also be cleaned with compressed air.  
– Replace filter if damaged or if it does not seal tightly in  
the air box.  
When working on a slope always stand on the uphill.  
When cutting prepared timber, use clamps or chocks to  
secure work.  
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and  
saplings which may catch the chain and pull you off balance.

SPARK PLUG  
Remove and clean the spark plug every 30 hours. Check  
the electrode gap (0,5/0,6 mm. - 0.025 inches).  
– Replace spark plug about every 100 working hours or  
whenever it is extremely encrusted.  
CARBURETTOR  
ADJUSTMENT  
– Heavily encrusted electrodes can result from an incorrect  
carburetor setting or from wrong fuel mixture (too much  
oil in the fuel mix) or a poor quality of oil in the fuel mix.  
Check and correct.  
G
We suggest carburetor adjustments are made by an authori-  
zed servicing dealer.  
OIL FILTER  
The carburetor has three adjustment screws:  
The oil filter is on the end of the oil suction hose inside the  
oil tank.  
L: The needle screw L governs the fuel flow at low speed  
and also the acceleration from low to full speed.  
To set screw L: close screw L turning it clockwise without  
forcing.  
Then open screw 1-1/4 full turn (counterclockwise) .  
If acceleration is not smooth, open another 1/8 turn to  
increase fuel flow .  
Remove the chain catcher by twisting it anticlockwise and  
remove the oil filter. Use a piece of bent wire or long forceps.  
To remove deposits from the oil tank half-fill it with kerose-  
ne or petrol and shake thoroughly. Drain off and fill the  
tank with fresh saw chain oil.  
Never use waste oil.  
H: The needle screw H governs fuel flow at high speed  
(throttle valve fully open).  
To set hi speed screw H: close screw H turning it clockwi-  
se without forcing .  
Then open screw 3/4-1 full turn (counterclockwise) .  
If the engine speed is too high, open the screw about 1/8  
turn (counterclockwise).  
FUEL FILTER  
To change fuel filter remove the tank cap and pull out the  
filter with a piece of bent wire or long forceps. Replace the  
filter as shown in the illustration and reposition it.  
It is recommended to replace the fuel filter at least once a  
year.  
CHAIN BRAKE  
I: The I (IDLE) screw controls the throttle opening to  
govern idle speed adjust as necessary.  
WARNING: Contact your service dealer if anything  
appears wrong with your chain brake. Do not disassem-  
ble or manipulate the mechanism of the chain brake.  
– Clean the brake mechanism periodically (without disas-  
sembling it) and control the wear of the band visually.  
CAUTION: increased idle speed may cause chain movement.  
The carburetor is adjusted for normal operation during pro-  
duction. When considerable changes of altitude require a  
supplementary adjustment, contact an authorised service sta-  
tion which offers the latest in tools, parts and technical assi-  
stance.  
PERIODICALLY: It is important to clean the saw thoroughly  
particularly around cylinder fins to avoid overheating of the

SAFETY CHAIN BRAKE  
CHAIN SHARPENING  
1
Chain cutter teeth can be sharpened with a round file,  
as follows:  
Your chain saw is fitted with a safety chainbrake desi-  
gned to stop the chain in milliseconds in case of kick-  
back. Always hold the saw firmly in both hands.  
CHAIN  
FILE  
SPR 378 GX  
7/32”  
The chain brake does not provide a total protection if the  
machine is used without taking the necessary precautions  
and maintenances.  
The exact chain type is marked on the bottom half of the  
drive link which runs inside the bar groove.  
Filing can be made easier by also using a file holder.  
The chain can remain fitted on the bar during sharpening.  
Before commencing, the chain should be tensioned cor-  
rectly and the chain brake should be activated to prevent  
the chain from moving.  
The chain brake is intended to engage automatically in case  
of kickback.  
The chain brake can also be engaged manually by pushing  
the chain brake lever forwards.The manual use of the chain  
brake is recommended only at idle.  
Always test the chain brake before using your saw. Do this  
by engaging the brake at idle (see below).  
2
To obtain a correct sharpening the file must be carefully  
held to maintain 3 basic angles:  
Always release the brake before starting.  
– “A” Top angle  
– “B” External, side angle  
– “C” Internal, side angle  
30° - 35°  
85° - 90°  
60°  
Kickback may occur if the end of the bar (see illustrated  
angle) touches any solid object.  
Never attempt to start a cut with the end of the bar.  
Kickback is a violent upward and rearward movement of the  
bar and may cause you to lose control of the machine.  
Therefore you should avoid starting a cut with this part of the  
bar. Always keep a firm grip on the saw with both hands  
because, in case of kickback, it is the contact of the left hand  
with the brake lever which will help to engage the brake.  
File in one direction only, from the “inside” of the cutter  
tooth towards the “outside”.  
Do not allow the file to touch the chain as you bring it  
back to re-position it. Each cutter tooth should be filed  
with the same number of strokes.  
3
4
The file should be held horizontally to the cutter tooth  
being sharpened.  
Best results to obtain a precise sideways angle can be  
obtained by holding the file so that it rises 0,5 mm above  
the top face of the cutter tooth.  
CHAIN BRAKE TESTING:  
1
The chain brake (A) is disengaged when brake lever is  
pulled back and locked(chain can move).  
2
The chain brake (A) is engaged when brake lever is in the  
position (chain cannot rotate).The chain brake should snap  
into both positions.If strong resistance is felt or lever does  
not move into either position, DO NOT USE YOUR SAW.  
Take it immediately to an authorized servicing dealer.  
5
DEPTH GAUGE  
Correct depth gauge height is vital to ensure maximum  
chain life and cutting efficiency.  
The height of the depth gauge should be lowered as the  
cutter tooth is filed back; this height should be checked  
every 4 or 5 sharpenings.  
3
CHAIN CATCHER  
This unit is fitted with a chain catcher below the drive  
spocket. This is intended to stop the rearward movement of  
the chain in case of breakage or if it should come out of the  
bar. It should never be removed.  
The best way to do this is to use a flat file and a depth  
gauge tool.  
The correct setting is 0.65 mm below the top edge of the  
cutter tooth.  
The cutter tooth depth gauge should then be rounded (D).  
FAULT FINDING TABLE  
Engine runs badly  
or looses power when cutting  
The machine runs  
but does not cut well  
Engine will not start  
Check STOP switch is in the position I.  
Control fuel level min. 25% tank capacity.  
Check air filter is clean.  
Remove spark plug, dry it, clean it  
and adjust it, and replace it, if necessary.  
Control and adjust the carburetor screws if necessary.  
Change fuel filter. Contact your dealer.  
Carefully follow the cutting accessory assembly instructions.  
Check chain is sharp. Otherwise, contact your dealer.  
Engine still gives trouble: contact your dealer.
