STORAGE

WARNING: Stop engine and allow to cool, and secure the unit before storing or transporting in a vehicle. Store unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc. Store unit with all guards in place. Position so that any sharp object cannot accidentally cause injury to passersby. Store the unit out of reach of children.

SBefore storing, drain all fuel from the unit. Start engine and allow to run until it stops.

SClean the unit before storing. Pay particu- lar attention to the air intake area, keeping it free of debris. Use a mild detergent and sponge to clean the plastic surfaces.

SDo not store the unit or fuel in a closed area where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an open flame from hot water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

SStore in a dry area out of the reach of chil- dren.

SEnsure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before

long--term storage.

S The guide bar and chain must always be covered with a scabbard when the machine is being transported or in storage in order to prevent accident contact with the sharp chain. Even a non--moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain.

CAUTION: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel fil- ter, fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Al- cohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to fuel mixture separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the engine.

Aug-42 specifications

The McCulloch Aug-42 is a remarkable piece of engineering that showcases innovation in the small engine and handheld power tool industry. This chainsaw, introduced by McCulloch, has made its mark for its reliability, efficiency, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for both professional and amateur users.

At the heart of the Aug-42 is a powerful 42cc engine that provides optimal performance for cutting tasks. The engine's design emphasizes lightweight construction while maintaining durability, allowing for ease of maneuverability. This is especially beneficial for users who may be involved in lengthy cutting or trimming tasks, as the lightweight build reduces fatigue.

One of the standout features of the Aug-42 is its anti-vibration technology. This innovation significantly minimizes the vibrations felt by the user during operation, enhancing comfort and control. As a result, operators can work for extended periods without the discomfort typically associated with prolonged chainsaw use.

The Aug-42 also incorporates a strategized fuel delivery system that maximizes power while ensuring fuel efficiency. It features a catalytic muffler that not only reduces noise during operation but also lowers the emissions produced, making it a more environmentally responsible choice. This combination of power and eco-friendliness caters to today’s environmentally conscious consumers.

The chainsaw comes equipped with a side-access chain tensioning system. This allows users to adjust the chain tension without needing to remove the guide bar, resulting in quick and hassle-free adjustments in the field. This essential feature minimizes downtime and keeps the user focused on their task.

Safety is another priority in the design of the McCulloch Aug-42. It includes an automatic chain brake that halts the chain’s motion when unexpected movements occur, protecting the user from possible accidents. Additionally, the chainsaw has a comfortable grip handle designed to provide optimum control, even in wet conditions.

In summary, the McCulloch Aug-42 fuses power, efficiency, and safety into a robust, user-friendly package. Its advanced technologies, including anti-vibration systems, fuel efficiency features, and safety mechanisms, position it as a preferred choice for those needing a dependable chainsaw. Whether used for general yard work, tree trimming, or more significant outdoor projects, the Aug-42 stands as a testament to McCulloch’s commitment to quality and innovation in outdoor power equipment.
