The Mc Culloch CS450 Elite offers the sort of performance, handling & build-quality that are essential for those undertaking heavy-duty chainsaw tasks in both the domestic & semi-professional arenas. Power is supplied by a 45.7cc Oxy Power engine; a high-performance two-stroke unit that’s exceptionally clean-running & fuel-efficient, with emissions being cut by 70-percent, & fuel-costs by 20-percent when set against a conventionally configured engine. An integrated start / choke / stop control ensures ignition is consistently reliable; while a decompression-valve works to reduce resistance in the starter-cord by an impressive 50-percent. The air-filter & the spark plug can both be accessed without tools. Handling is obviously key when working with such a powerful chainsaw, so Mc Culloch have employed an ergonomic handle layout; kept the weight to an absolute minimum; & optimised the machine’s centre-of-gravity. Padding on the handles allows for a firm, positive grip; while a series of anti-vibration springs keep operator fatigue at bay for longer. Thanks to its double-action chain-brake, which is activated either by inertia, or manually by the operator, the Mc Culloch CS450 Elite Petrol Chainsaw is a safe tool to use. It has a convenient fuel-level window, so you shouldn’t be hamstrung by running out of petrol / oil in the middle of a job; & it’s equipped with a series of felling markers, which ensure you’ll be able to achieve the optimum angle-of-cut. Other noteworthy features include Mc Culloch’s centrifugal air-cleaning system, which maximises engine-life; & an integrated combi-tool, which is always directly to hand when it’s needed.
