McCulloch CS 50S F.A.Q.

How do I start the McCulloch CS 50S Chainsaw?

To start your McCulloch CS 50S Chainsaw, ensure the chain brake is engaged. Turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position, set the choke to 'full', and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Then, set the choke to 'half' and pull the starter rope again to start the engine.

What type of fuel should I use for the CS 50S Chainsaw?

Use unleaded gasoline mixed with high-quality 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 50:1. Ensure the fuel is well mixed before pouring it into the chainsaw's fuel tank.

How can I sharpen the chain on the McCulloch CS 50S?

To sharpen the chain, secure the chainsaw in a vice, use a round file that matches the chain size, and file each cutter at the same angle and depth as the existing cutters. Ensure the file is held at a consistent angle throughout the process.

Why won't my McCulloch CS 50S Chainsaw start?

If your chainsaw won't start, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Verify the spark plug is clean and functioning. Also, inspect the air filter for clogs and clean or replace it if necessary.

How do I maintain the air filter on the CS 50S Chainsaw?

Remove the cover to access the air filter, then remove the filter and clean it using warm, soapy water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace it if it appears damaged or excessively dirty.

What should I do if the chainsaw chain keeps coming off?

Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and not too loose. Check the guide bar and sprocket for wear and alignment issues. Adjust the chain tension by loosening the bar nuts, adjusting the tension screw, and retightening the bar nuts.

How often should I perform maintenance on my McCulloch CS 50S?

Regular maintenance should be performed after every 5 hours of use. This includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, checking chain tension, and ensuring all bolts and nuts are tight.

What is the correct chain tension for the CS 50S Chainsaw?

The correct chain tension allows the chain to be pulled slightly away from the guide bar, but not so loose that the drive links come out of the bar nose. Adjust the tension as needed using the tensioning screw.

After use, wipe down the chainsaw with a clean cloth to remove debris. Check and clean the air filter and remove any build-up around the chain and bar area. Always store the chainsaw in a dry place.
