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
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.

Mac hine ′ s safety equipment
This section descr ibes the machine ′ s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest servicing dealer.
IMPORTANT!
All servicing and repair work on the machine requires
special training. This is especially true of the machine
safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks
described below you must contact your service agent.
When you buy any of our products we guarantee the
availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer
who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him for

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

Thr ottle lockout
s
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
Use the stop s witch to switch off the engine.
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.

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 machine ′ s handle unit. The engine body including the
blades is suspended on the handlebar system via a four
springs.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is
undamaged and securely attached.
ARNING! 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.
Muffl er
The m uffler 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.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
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!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
!
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
WARNING! Bear in mind that:
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot
!
and may contain sparks which can start a
fire. Never start the machine indoors or near
combustible material!
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.
