You may need the model number of your McCulloch chainsaw in order to purchase replacement parts, to list it for sale or to download its owner's manual from the McCulloch website. A McCulloch chainsaw's model number is listed directly on its body. If, however, the serial number plate is damaged or missing, several other methods can be used to identify the chainsaw's model number.

1

Turn the McCulloch chainsaw upside down, and locate the serial number plate, which is a metal plate on the bottom of the chainsaw. Scan the plate for the word 'Model' followed by a series of letters and numbers; the letters and numbers are the model of the chainsaw. A model number example is 'CS 380.'

2

Examine the owner's manual of your McCulloch chainsaw. The model saw's number should be listed on the manual's cover page.

Visit the McCulloch International website. Click on the 'Support' link, and then click 'Contact Us,' or visit mcculloch.com/int/support/contact. Ask for help identifying the model number of your chainsaw. Have the year the chainsaw was made, the serial number and any other specifications handy to aid in this process. Specifications particular to your chainsaw may include terms such as OxyPower, soft start, integrated combi tool or tool-less chain tensioning.

Every chain must be driven to perform work. On the bottom of every McCulloch MAC 110 chain there are drive links that are v-shaped. The drive links ride into the bar groove to guide the chain in the cut.

The cutter has several different parts. First, there is a top plate which is the top of the cutter and is the leading edge of the cutter tooth. There are both left and right cutters that alternate from left to right and left again. Next, the depth gauge controls how deep the cutter tooth cuts. There is also a gullet which funnels the wood chips away underneath the cutter and ejects them when the chain reaches the sprocket. The toe of the McCulloch MAC 110 chain cutter rides on the bar groove and is on the front bottom of the cutter. Another toe on the bottom rear of the cutter can become worn as the tooth rocks when cutting the wood fibers. Finally, there are rivet holes where the bearing rivet rides.

The last part of the McCulloch MAC 110 chain is the tie strap that is opposite the cutter tooth. This strap helps to connect the chain together.

The chain saw chain requires periodic maintenance of the chain cutters. You can either file the McCulloch MAC 110 chain with a chain saw file or use an electric sharpener (12 volt or 110 AC chain grinder) to sharpen the cutter for top performance.

General things to know about different types of McCulloch MAC 110 chain and for cutting conditions:

Skip tooth chain is generally used for longer bars sized 24‹?? and up. Skip tooth chain is usually for the professional and has more kick back tendencies.

Ripping chain is designed to cut with the grain of the wood and not against it, the chain is sharpened either 10 or 15 degrees and is intended for saw mills.

Semi-chisel chain [round tooth] is one the most overlooked chains on the market. The round cutter is more forgiving in dirty wood conditions when compared to the chisel cutter chain. This type of McCulloch MAC 110 chain cuts a little slower but stays sharper longer than chisel chain.

Chisel chain is by far the fastest cutting chain available for chain saws, with its square teeth, it cuts faster than the semi chisel round tooth chain. However, McCulloch MAC 110 chisel chain doesn‹??t perform well in dirty conditions. Once the points get dull, chain cutting performance decreases significantly.
