A McCulloch chainsaw is the ideal tool for cutting wood or for felling trees, being simple to use and easy to handle, all serious woodworkers should have a McCulloch chainsaw in his (or her) toolbox.
Even if you are not that serious about woodworking, having a McCulloch chainsaw to hand when a storm or particularly high wind has passed by will prove itself invaluable. Having to call out a workman to cut up that tree that has fallen across the drive or garden can be quite expensive, but, with a trusty McCulloch chainsaw the job can be done quickly and efficiently.
If you happen to be fortunate enough to have a log burning fire or stove then a McCulloch chainsaw will prove invaluable and indeed a great money saver when the winter weather arrives, think of the savings when instead of buying pre cut logs you simply go out and cut your own. You could even turn your McCulloch petrol chainsaw into a money spinner by charging other people for cutting up and removing old trees and unwanted wood from their gardens, plus you get a steady supply of firewood for your own use or to resell, again another money making possibility.
The McCulloch Motors Corporation was founded in1943 by Robert Paxton McCulloch, the Company was originally set up to manufacture small two-stroke petrol engines but in 1948 it introduced its first petrol chainsaw. Over the years the McCulloch Company has continued to manufacture a wide and varied range of petrol engines for the automotive, air and boat industry but they have also focused on lawn and garden equipment in recent years.
Nowadays apart from the McCulloch petrol chainsaws there are a varied range of garden power tools available including, hedge trimmers, string trimmers, leaf blowers, lawnmowers and pressure washers that have been added to the product line.
An unusual adaptation in the use of petrol chainsaws is in wood carving, known as chainsaw art or the art of chainsaw carving, chainsaws have for many years been used by several steady of hand and nerve artists to produce some fine and imaginative wood carvings. This is something definitely not recommended to the novice chainsaw user.
There are many power tool manufacturers around the world producing excellent quality chainsaws but for many years now the McCulloch petrol chainsaw has been one of the front runners for quality, reliability and ease of use, so if you are thinking of purchasing a chainsaw in the near future then you will not go far wrong by giving the McCulloch range of chainsaws some serious consideration before parting with your money.
Another aspect to give thought to when buying a chainsaw, or indeed any type of power tool for that matter, is the availability of spares or replacement parts, it is all too common to go out and buy what at first seems like a bargain only to find that at a later date the spare part is either none existent or cost prohibitive, thus rendering the tool basically useless.
The McCulloch Company does not suffer from any such problems and not only do they continue to supply parts for their whole chainsaw range but their catalogue of garden power tools is very well supported.
McCulloch Chainsaw Safety
Before purchasing a McCulloch chainsaw you should ensure that it is equipped with an anti-kickback system, you should also read the instruction manual very carefully before operating your new chainsaw. Proper safety equipment including eye goggles and chainsaw gloves should always be worn.
For those of you who have never had the opportunity to use a chainsaw before, you need be aware of the dangers of ‘kickback’.
Chainsaw kickback can result in a very serious injury and is one of the major dangers to be aware of when operating a chainsaw.
Kickback is the sudden backward, forward or upward movement of the chainsaw which results from the chain near the tip of the guide bar coming into contact with a hard object such as a nail or stone. It can also be the result of the chain getting pinched inside the wood which causes the chain to stop dead and to kickback in the operators hands.
It is very easy for the chainsaw user to lose their grip on the machine if kickback occurs and it is for this reason that the manual that should be supplied with your McCulloch chainsaw needs to be read carefully. It is important to know what you are doing when operating a chainsaw.
