F. Starting and stopping the engine

CAUTION!

Before starting the machine read this manu- al in its entirety, with special attention to the safety devices and recommended personal protection equipment.

Before starting the machine make sure it is in perfect conditions and that all the safety devices are correctly installed and in perfect working order. Inspect the blades carefully and do not use the machine with worn or damaged blades, or if they exhibit notice- able cracks.

Make sure all the covers are correctly installed

Make sure the parts of the gear box and its lit are correctly mounted. Starting a machine without mounting these parts correctly could cause serious personal injury

CAUTION!

To start the machine correctly and safely, use the following procedure:

Place the machine on the ground in a flat, stable position

Grasp the starter knob with one hand and use the other to hold the machine steady on the ground (Note: do not wind the starter cord around your hand) and pull gently until you feel some resistance, then pull the cord sharply and forcefully (to start the engine

when warm or cold see the instructions below.

CAUTION!

Do not pull the starter cord all the way to the limit and do not let it snap back against the machine as this could damage it.

COLD ENGINE

1 Place the stop switch on "I" or "START"

2 Turn the choke control to the START position. Pump by squeezing the bulb (C) several times until you see the fuel flow back into the tank through the hose (D).

3 Grasp the starter knob properly and pull the start cord until you the engine starts to catch.

4 Press the accelerator trigger (A), and safety lever (B) all the way, the choke control (C) auto- matically returns to its original position.

5 Pull the cord until the engine starts.

6 To stop the engine press the stop switch to bring it to the "0" or "STOP" position.

WARM ENGINE

1 Place the stop switch on "I" or "START"

4 Make sure the choke lever is in the "RUN" posi- tion. Pump by squeezing the bulb (C) until you see the fuel flow back through the hose (D).

5 Pull the cord until the engine starts.

6 To stop the engine press the stop switch to bring it to the "0" or "STOP" position.

G. Carburetor adjustment

CAUTION!

Your machine can be equipped with a low emission carburetor. We recommend that car- buretor adjustment be done, if necessary, exclusively by authorized service centers, which have the appropriate equipment to ensure optimum performance with lower emis- sions.

The correct engine setting at idle speed is 2800 rpm as indicated in the technical specifications of this manual and should not be modified unless by an authorized service center

If the engine does not hold the idle speed, turn the screw T clockwise to increase the rpm and counterclockwise reduce the rpm.

CAUTION! ALL THE ABOVE SETTINGS SHOULD BE MADE WITH THE CUTTING ATTACHMENTS PROPERLY INSTALLED.

The McCulloch HC70, HC65, and the models 95390000600, 95390000700, and 249350 are part of the renowned McCulloch line of hedge trimmers, known for their exceptional performance and user-friendly technologies. These models combine power, precision, and comfort, making them ideal for both hobbyists and professional landscapers.

One of the standout features of these hedge trimmers is their robust engine performance. The HC70 and HC65 are equipped with a powerful two-stroke engine that delivers enough torque to handle tough trimming tasks. This means users can easily cut through dense hedges and shrubs without worrying about the tool stalling or losing power mid-cut. The 95390000600 and 95390000700 models also emphasize engine efficiency, providing reliable cutting power while maintaining lower fuel consumption.

Another key characteristic of these models is their dual-action blades, which offer a sharp, precise cut. The blades operate on a dual-action mechanism, reducing vibration and allowing for smooth operation. This feature not only enhances cutting efficiency but also minimizes fatigue during extended use, making it easier for users to achieve a clean and professional finish on their hedges.

Ergonomics is also a focal point in the design of the McCulloch hedge trimmers. With adjustable grips and lightweight constructions, these models ensure user comfort, reducing strain on the arms and shoulders. The HC70 and HC65, for example, come with a rotating rear handle that allows for greater maneuverability and ease of handling, especially in tight spaces or when working at different angles.

Safety features are prioritized in the design of these trimmers. They are outfitted with protective guards and features such as quick-stop technology, which helps ensure that the blades stop moving immediately when the trigger is released. This enhances safety, particularly for novice users or in residential settings where children and pets may be present.

Finally, McCulloch’s emphasis on durability is evident in the construction of these models. Designed to withstand wear and tear, the hedge trimmers feature high-quality materials that can endure the rigors of outdoor use, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

In conclusion, the McCulloch HC70, HC65, along with models 95390000600, 95390000700, and 249350, represent a top-tier choice for anyone looking to maintain their outdoor spaces efficiently and safely. With powerful engines, precision blades, ergonomic designs, and robust safety features, these hedge trimmers are an essential addition to any gardening toolkit.
