H. Routine Maintenance

CAUTION!

•Do not make any repairs or adjustments on the machine that are not described in this manual.

•Contact an authorized service center if you have any questions about the repairs to make.

•The warranty may be invalidated in case of improper adjustments made by unautho- rized persons not employed by authorized service centers.

•Place the Stop Switch (10) in the STOP posi- tion before making any adjustments on the machine

•always inspect the machine carefully before use.

1 BLADES

•Before starting the machine check the state of wear and conservation. In case of excessive wear take the unit to a service center for replacement.

•Caution: the blades are sharp and dangerous even with the engine off. Handle with care and use suitable protective gloves.

2 CLEANING OF AIR FILTER (At least every 25 hours of use).

•Use a screwdriver to lift and remove the air filter from its housing (see figure).

•Clean the filter with gasoline.

•Dry the filter with air.

•Reassemble the filter in its housing.

NOTE: Replace the filter if torn or damaged.

3 GREASING GEARBOX (Only for specific models)

•Every 50 hours of operation add grease to the gearbox for the high speed gears, through the inlet (C).

4 SPARKPLUG

•Periodically (at least once every 50 hours) disas- semble and clean the sparkplug and adjust the spacing between the electrodes (0.5 – 0.6 mm).

•Replace if excessively worn or, in any case, after 100 hours of use.

•In case of excessive encrustation, check the carburetor adjustment, the proper percentage of oil in the fuel mixture and make sure the oil is high quality two-stroke engine motor oil.

5 FUEL FILTER

•For cleaning or replacement, remove the cap on the tank and extract the filter using a hook or long-nosed pliers.

•Periodically, at the beginning of the season, take the machine to your service center for general maintenance and cleaning of the inter- nal parts.

•This will reduce the risk of unexpected prob- lems and will guarantee the long life and good working order of your machine.

REGULARLY:

•Important, to avoid overheating the engine, clean off any dust and dirt from the vents on the cylindrical cover and fins on the cylinder using a wooden scraper.

PROLONGED DISUSE:

Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until all the residual fuel is consumed.

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.
