GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Stop switch
Make sure the engine stops when you push and hold the stop switch.
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose
objects from being thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the operator from accidental contact with the
Check and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting attachment you are using. See the “Technical data” section.
WARNING: Never use a cutting attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on “Technical data”. If an incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.
Use of incorrectly wound trimmer line or an incorrect cutting attachment increases the
level of vibration.
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 color or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator.
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic converter designed to reduce exhaust gas emissions.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire.
We therefore fit mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh.
Muffler bolts
For that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining, and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
CAUTION: 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.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12 |
English--- 7 |
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. DO NOT start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated. 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!
Blade retainer nut
A blade retainer nut is used to secure some types of cutting attachment.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left--hand thread.) Tighten the nut using the socket spanner.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must
not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
S Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
S Obtain maximum cutting performance. S Extend the life of cutting equipment.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the section on “Technical data”.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check the correct way to load the trimmer line and the correct line diameter. Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the blade packaging. Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge.
WARNING: Always stop the engine before doing any work on the
cutting attachment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped completely and disconnect the lead from the spark plug before you start to work on it.
WARNING: Using an incorrect cutting attachment or an incorrect-
ly sharpened blade increases the risk of blade thrust.
Cutting equipment
Grass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting coarse grass.
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the section on Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of accidents.
English--- 8
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades
S See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters using a single--cut flat file.
S Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade.
WARNING: Use of an incorrect or damaged blade could result in serious injury or death. Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound
tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration.
SOnly use the recommended cutting attachments. See the section on “Technical data”.
SSmaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing using trimmer line the engine must throw out the trimmer line radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being cleared.
SThe length of the trimmer line is also important. A longer trimmer line requires greater engine power than a shorter
trimmer line of the same diameter.
S Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer
guard is intact. This is used to cut the trimmer line to the correct length.
STo increase the life of the trimmer line it can be soaked in water for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting
SCheck the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
WARNING: Use of an incorrect or damaged blade could result in
serious injury or death. Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be
reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.
SCheck that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support flange if it is
SEnsure the blade retainer nut has not lost
its captive force. The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the blade retainer nut should be 35--50 Nm.
SCheck that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not damaged or cracked.
Replace the trimmer head or trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are cracked.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
SNever use the machine without a guard nor with a defective guard.
SAll covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged before you start the machine.
Starting and stopping
WARNING: The complete clutch, clutch cover, and shaft must be
fitted before the machine is started, otherwise parts could come loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine away from the refueling area before
starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes the basic safety precautions for working with trimmers. If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an ex-
pert. Contact your servicing dealer. Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.
You must understand the difference between
forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.
Basic safety rules
1. Look around you:
STo ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.
STo ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
SCAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident.
2.Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
3.Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.
4.Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting the equipment any distance.
5.Never put the machine down with the engine running or while the cutting attachment is rotating.
The ABC of clearing
S Always use the correct equipment.
S Make sure the equipment is well adjusted. S Follow the safety precautions.
S Organise your work carefully.
S Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the blade.
S Always use sharp blades. S Avoid stones.
WARNING: Sometimes branches or grass get caught
between the guard and cutting attachment or wrapped around the shaft. Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material
while the engine is running or the cutting equipment is rotating,
as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you remove material.
The bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. You could get burned if you touch it.
WARNING: Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear
approved eye protection. Never lean over the cutting attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches. Never swing the machine around without first checking behind you to make sure no one is within the safety zone.
Basic working techniques
SAlways slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12 |
English--- 17 |
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Grass clearing using a grass blade
SGrass blades and grass cutters must not be used on woody stems.
SA grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
SThe grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right--to--left is the clearing stroke and the movement from left--to--right is the return stroke. Let the left--hand side of the blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
SIf the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect, e.g. by
raking.
STry to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again.
S Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
SReduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions:
S Always work at full throttle.
SAvoid the previously cut material during the return stroke.
SStop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut
material.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming
SHold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the trimmer line that does the work. Let the trimmer line work at its own pace. Never press the trimmer line into the area to be cut.
SThe trimmer line can easily remove grass and weeds up against walls, fences, trees and borders, however it can also damage
sensitive bark on trees and bushes, and damage fence posts.
SReduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the trimmer line to 4--6 inches
(10--12 cm) and reducing the engine speed.
SWhen trimming you should use less than full throttle so that the trimmer line lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head.
Clearing
SThe clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the trimmer line strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. IMPORTANT! This technique increases the wear on the trimmer line.
SThe trimmer line wears quicker and must be fed forward more often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal
fences, etc., than when coming into contact with trees and wooden fences.
English--- 18
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Cutting
SThe trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that
is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the trimmer line parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool.
SDo not allow the trimmer head to con-- stantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head.
Sweeping
SThe fan effect of the rotating line can be used for quick and easy clearing up.
Hold the trimmer line parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.
SWhen cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results.
WARNING: Sometimes branches or grass get caught
between the guard and cutting attachment or wrapped around the shaft. Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material
while the engine is running or the cutting equipment is rotating,
as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you remove material.
The bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. You could get burned if you touch it.
WARNING: Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorized persons at a dis-
tance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m.
Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.

MAINTENANCE
The owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance as defined in the operator’s manual.
WARNING: Improper maintenance could result in serious engine damage or in serious injury.
Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions. After the engine has used 8--10 tanks of fuel, the engine will be run--in. To ensure that it continues to run
at peak performance and to minimize harmful exhaust emissions after the run--in period, ask your servicing dealer to adjust your carburetor.
WARNING: The complete clutch, clutch cover, and shaft must be
fitted before the machine is started, otherwise parts could come loose and cause personal injury.
Function
SThe carburetor governs the engine’s speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel
are mixed in the carburetor.
SThe T--screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If the T--screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle speed; turning it counterclockwise gives a lower idle speed.
Basic setting
SThe basic carburetor settings are adjusted during testing at the factory. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled technician.
WARNING: The cutting attachment may be spinning during carbu-
retor adjustments. Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety instructions. Be sure the cutting attachment stops turning when the engine idles. When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachments has stopped before the unit is set down.
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine is idling the idle adjustment
screw T should be turned counterclockwise until the cutting attachment stops.
Rec. idle speed:
See “Technical data” section.
Recommended max. speed:
See “Technical data” section.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
Fine adjustment of the idle speed-T
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw--T if it is necessary to readjust. First, turn the idle adjustment screw--T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then, turn the screw counterclockwise until the cutting attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine will run smoothly in every position. The idle speed should also be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
Idle Speed
Screw--T
WARNING: If the idle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutting
attachment stops, contact your servicing dealer. Do not use the machine until it has been correctly adjusted or repaired.
Unit/Maintenance Safety
Disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance, except carburetor adjustments.
Muffler
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic
converter designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.
Mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. The mesh should be checked and, if necessary. cleaned by a servicing dealer. If the mesh is damaged, it should be replaced.
English--- 20
MAINTENANCE
If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the cata-
lytic converter is impaired. Contact your servicing dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston.
Muffler bolts
Spark arrestor mesh
CAUTION! Never use a machine that has a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler bolts are tight.
CAUTION: 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: Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. DO NOT start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated. 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!
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by: S Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
SAn incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).
S A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.024 inch (0.6
mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
Two--piece shaft
The drive shaft end in the lower shaft should be lubricated with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive shaft ends (splined coupling) will seize if they are not lubricated regularly.
English--- 21
MAINTENANCE
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:
S Carburetor malfunctions S Starting problems
S Loss of engine power
S Unnecessary wear to engine parts S Excessive fuel consumption
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Ensure that the filter is dry before refitting it.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air
filter must always be replaced.
Bevel gear
The bevel gear is filled with the right quan-
tity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is filled three--quarters full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs
are carried out.
115476927 Rev. 2 5/15/12
Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades
WARNING: Always stop the engine before doing any work on the
cutting attachment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped completely and disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug before you start to work on it.
S See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions.
SSharpen blades and cutters using a single--cut flat file.
SSharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade.
WARNING: Use of an incorrect or damaged blade could result in
serious injury or death. Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted
blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.
