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.com.
McCulloch has a policy of continuous product
development and therefore reserves the right to modify
the design and appearance of products without prior
notice.
