•
Never start the engine in a closed space or near
flammable material. The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and can contain sparks which can
start a fire.
•
Do not operate the product unless the blade and all
covers are attached correctly. An incorrectly
attached blade can come loose and cause personal
injury.
•
Make sure that the blade does not hit objects such
as stones and roots. This can do damage to the
blade and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle causes
heavy vibration and a very high risk that the blade
becomes loose.

If the blade hits an object or if vibrations occur, stop
the product immediately. Disconnect the ignition
cable from the spark plug. Examine the product for
damages. Repair damages or let an authorised
service agent do the repair.

Do not use a product with defective safety devices.
•
Do a check of the safety devices regularly. If the
safety devices are defective, speak to your
McCulloch service agent.

•
Examine the cutting cover to make sure that there
are no damages such as cracks.
Engine brake handle
The engine brake handle stops the engine. When the
engine brake handle is released, the engine stops.

and then release the engine brake handle. If the engine
does not stop in 3 seconds, let an approved McCulloch
service agent adjust the engine brake.
(Fig. 17 )
Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
CAUTION: The muffler becomes very hot
during and after use and when the engine
operates at idle speed. Be careful near
flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent
fire.

that follow before you use the product.
•
Do not start the product if there is fuel or engine oil
on the product. Remove the unwanted fuel/oil and let
