caused when the blade touches against wood
or solid bodies, such thrust might then cause
the operator to loose control of the machine
itself. Never attempt to work with a damaged
blade but replace it with a new one.
THRUST: can occur when using any type of circu-
lar blade within the risk area: therefore it is advis-
able to cut using the remaining area of the blade.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADE: it can be used to cut
sappling, small trees with a diameter up to 7
cm., to clean shrubs.
WARNING: IF A METAL 24-80 TOOTH BLADE
(A SAW TOOTH BLADE) IS USED A DOUBLE
SHOULDER HARNESS AND A SAFETY
GUARD (PROTECTION) MUST ALSO BE USED
AS MARKED IN THE SUMMARY CHART (SEE
CLOTHES SECTION IN SAFETY CHAPTER:
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET).
ALWAYS USE GENUINE ACCESSORIES AND
SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FROM AUTHORISED
SERVICING DEALERS.
THE USE OF NON-ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES
AND SPARE PARTS INCREASES THE RISK OF
ACCIDENTS AND IN SUCH A CASE THE
COMPANY IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO
PEOPLE AND/OR THINGS.
1)
In the interest of safety, it is imperative that the
unit is used with the correct guard when using
any blade or a nylon string head, except the 24-
80 tooth blade. Line cutter blade (L): assemble as
illustrated.
2)
When using a saw tooth blade (optional acces-
sory), the correct guard must be fitted (P/N
240553).
A double shoulder harness must also be worn.
Only use blades or nylon string heads clearly
marked with a maximum speed of at least 10,500
min
-1
.
Follow the fitting instructions carefully.
N.B:
Saw tooth blades (24 - 80 tooth) have a
central base diametre of 20mm and therefore
require the use of the appropriate size top flange
to ensure a correct fit. The part number is
detailed in the cutting attachment summary chart.
Warning!
The brushcutter “four stroke 52 PM ”
is equipped with a special 4 stroke engine with
waste lube , consequently it requires a totally sintet-
ic 2 stroke engine oil or a McCulloch branded 2
stroke engine oil and unleaded petrol mix with a
minumum octane rating of 90 (see chart).
Warning! Do not use gasoline for any reasons,
as the engine will be seriously damaged.
IMPORTANT
Always shake the fuel mix container thoroughly
before pouring any fuel mix.
Fuel mix properties may deteriorate with time and
should be used up within 2 months.
We recommend that you prepare fuel mix accord-
ing to your immediate requirements only. Never
use fuel mix more than 2 months old so as to
avoid possible engine damage.
WARNING
Do not smoke when re-fuelling.
Always open the fuel cap slowly, to release any
pressure build up in the tank.
Re-fuel in open spaces only, keeping away from
naked flames or sparks.
SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL
Petrol fuel mix is highly inflammable. Put out all
cigarettes, pipes and cigars before working with
fuel. Avoid spilling fuel.
Store fuel in a cool, well ventilated place, in an
approved container specifically designed for the
purpose. 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.
Never store large amounts of fuel.
To prevent possible restarting problems avoid
running the fuel tank dry. This also helps to
extend engine life.
