INTR ODUCTION

Dear customer!

Cong ratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Huskvarna River, for production of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-powered plant. During over 300 years of continuous operation, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest priority. We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and construction industry.
Your purchase gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operator s manual as a valuable document. By following its content (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer gets the operator s manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.

ARNING! Never use a machine with faulty safety equipment. The machine’s safety equipment must be checked and maintained as described in this section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your service agent to get it repaired.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely and that the return springs work properly.
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the hedge trimmer and apply full throttle. Release the throttle trigger and check that the blades stop and remain stationary. If the blades move when the throttle trigger is in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be adjusted. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Stop s witch

Thr ottle lockout

The throttle loc kout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. This arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.
B
A
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lockout is released.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Hand guar d

The hand guard pre vents hands from coming into contact with the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on the front handle.
Check that the hand guard is fitted correctly.
Check that the hand guard is undamaged.

Vibration damping system

our machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation easier.
The machine s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machines handle unit. The engine body including the blades is suspended on the handlebar system via a four springs.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor screen. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of screen.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
!
in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor screen this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and
!
remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!
