9.
GUIDE BAR - A solid railed structure that supports
and guides the saw chain.
10. KICKBACK - The backward or upward motion, or both
of the guide bar occurring when the saw chain near
the nose of the top area of the guide bar contacts any
object such as a log or branch, or when the wood clos-
es in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
11. KICKBACK, PINCH - The rapid pushback of the saw
which can occur when the wood closes in and pinch-
es the moving saw chain in the cut along the top of the

13. LOW-KICKBACK CHAIN - A chain that complies with
the kickback performance requirements of ANSI
B175.1-1991 when tested on a representative sample
of chain saws.
14. NORMAL CUTTING POSITION - Those positions
assumed in performing the bucking and felling cuts.
15. NOTCHING UNDERCUT - A notch cut in a tree that
directs the tree's fall.
16. OILER CONTROL - A system for oiling the guide bar
and saw chain.
17. REAR HANDLE- The support handle located at or
toward the rear of the saw.
18. REDUCED KICKBACK GUIDE BAR - A guide bar
which has been demonstrated to reduce kickback sig-
nificantly.
19. REPLACEMENT SAW CHAIN - A chain that com-
plies with the kickback performance requirements of
ANSI B175.1-1991 when tested with specific chain
saws. It may not meet the ANSI performance require-
ments when used with other saws.
20. SAW CHAIN - A loop of chain having cutting teeth,
that cut the wood, and that is driven by the motor and
is supported by the guide bar.
21. SPIKED BUMPER (SPIKE) - The pointed tooth or
teeth for use when felling or bucking to pivot the saw
and maintain position while sawing.
22. SWITCH - A device that when operated will complete
or interrupt an electrical power circuit to the motor of
the chain saw.
23. SWITCH LINKAGE - The mechanism that transmits
motion from a trigger to the switch.
24. SWITCH LOCKOUT - A movable stop that prevents

2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
(ANSI/UL 1662-1995) (CAN/CSA-Z62.1-03)

2-1. KICKBACK SAFETY LABELS

Your McCulloch Chain Saw is provided with a safety label
®
located on the CHAIN BRAKE
LEVER. This label, along
with the safety instructions on these pages, should be care-
fully read before attempting to operate your saw.
HOW TO READ SYMBOLS AND COLORS
WARNING
RED
Used to warn that an unsafe procedure should not be per-
formed.
GREEN
RECOMMENDED
Recommended cutting procedure.
WARNING
(Figure 2-1A)
1. Worst-case computed kickback angle.
2. Avoid bar nose contact.
3. Beware of kick back.
4. Do not attempt to hold saw with one hand.
RECOMMENDED
5. Hold Saw properly with both hands.

2-2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.
REPLACEMENT PARTS - When servicing use only
identical replacement parts.
2.
POLARIZED PLUGS - To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the extension cord, reverse the plug. Do not
change the plug in any way.
3.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN: Cluttered areas
invite injuries. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree.
4.
CONSIDER THE WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT: Use
extreme caution when cutting small sized brush and
saplings because the slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
specifically trained to do so. When cutting a limb that
is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you
will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers
is released. Do not expose the chain saw to rain. Do
not use the chain saw in damp or wet locations. Do not
use the chain saw in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
5.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK: Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces. For example: metal
pipes, wire fences.
6.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY: Do not let visitors contact
the chain saw or extension cord. All visitors should be
kept away from the work area.
7.
STORE IDLE CHAIN SAW: When not in use, chain
saws should be stored in a dry, and high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children. When storing saw,
use a scabbard or carrying case.
8.
DO NOT FORCE CHAIN SAW: It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
9.
USE RIGHT TOOL: Cut wood only. Don't use chain
saw for purposes not inteded - for example - Don't
use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-
wood building materials.
10. DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES: Also use safety footwear;
safety chaps; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves;
head protection.
12. CARRYING SAW: Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the saw stopped, finger off the switch, the
guide bar and saw chain to the rear.
13. MAINTAIN CHAIN SAW WITH CARE: Inspect chain
saw cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired
by authorized service facility. Keep cord clear of the
chain and operator at all times. Never carry saw by the
cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the
cord free from oil and away from sharp edges. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
14. DISCONNECT CHAIN SAW: Disconnect the chain
saw when not in use, before servicing, and when
changing accessories and attachments, such as saw
chain and guard.
