Top Tip When using a chainsaw hold it close to the body, to maximise your control over the saw while in use. Review: Top quality - Absolute brilliant saw, can use it all day with no problems and very easy to use and the chain lasted a very long time as long as you sharpen it properly. Only real problem is the petrol tank is a bit small and you need to top it up every 30 minutes or so other than that there’s nothing wrong with it. Review: Brilliant - Brilliant - the only niggles at new ... 1. is that the claw is not attached, which makes no sense, Only takes a couple of minutes to fit though 2. on the first startup, it would not run at full speed, and I had to semi-squeeze the trigger, but after a while, it sorted itself out and is now perfect However, they always good are when they are new - time will tell if it is worth it. For £130 I would be happy for it just to last 5 years, but it does feel quality and I suspect it may last longer ## Features - Ideal for frequent use the CS 42S is a 42cc petrol powered chainsaw that has an power output of 1.5kW and capable of a 14”-16” bar - Cutting Equipment Bar length (inch) - 16.

Get yourself a new one. Only costs about £10-20 for a chain and it’s hardened and better. Don’t bother sharpening the stock chain. It’s pointless and will last you another few cuts, max. **Q: Does any know if the oil flow to the chainsaw be manually adjusted? Or is the oilflow set by the manufacturer?** A: It’s a gear driven pump so there is no manual adjustment. It’s worth just removing the chain bar and making sure the Oiler port is not clogging up with fine sawdust. A quick clean out would be my first action. **Q: Does this come with everything I require in order to start using the chainsaw right away? What do I need to purchase any other accessories?** A: It comes fully assembled, but you will need chain oil, petrol and engine oil to make-up 2 stroke fuel. I'd recommend safety gear if you haven't already got it. **Q: What is the vibration like when using this saw?** A: All chainsaws will give some vibration and this one does pretty much the same as others in its class. Some good anti vibration technology on board and I didn't find it too uncomfortable. However, I only got one use out of mine as it and its predecessor were returned as faulty on arrival and I went back to my usual supplier Stihl. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality *by D***S on 13 December 2025* Absolute brilliant saw, can use it all day with no problems and very easy to use and the chain lasted a very long time as long as you sharpen it properly.

It is a replacement for an 8 year old McCullock chainsaw which sadly died. I have just used it for the first time and found it very easy and comfortable to use and efficient for the required job. It seems quite powerful for a small machine. So far very pleased. ## Frequently Bought Together - McCulloch CS 35S Petrol Chainsaw: 35cc, 14 Inch Bar Length, 52 Drive Links, Anti-Vibration System, Low Weight, Fully Assembled, Multicolor - Oregon 2-Stroke Engine Oil, Self-Mixing Partly Synthetic Mineral Oil, Clean Burning, Low Ash Lubricant, Protects Engine & Improves Performance, 2T, Twin Neck 1 Litre Bottle (O11-1140) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/54662116-mcculloch-cs-42s-petrol-chainsaw-42cc-16-inch-bar-length](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/54662116-mcculloch-cs-42s-petrol-chainsaw-42cc-16-inch-bar-length) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
