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 waterpowered 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

!
This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician and
the medical implant manufacturer before
operating this machine.
IMPOR TANT!
Incorrect or careless use of a hedge trimmer can turn it
into a dangerous tool that can cause serious or even
fatal injury. It is extremely important that you read and
understand the contents of this operator’s manual.
You must use approved personal protective equipment
whenever you use the machine. Personal protective
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen.
Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

ARNING! Running an engine in a
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
ARNING! Never allow children to use or
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a springloaded stop switch and can be started by
low speed and force on the starter
handle, even small children under some
circumstances can produce the force
necessary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Therefore remove the spark plug cap
when the machine is not under close
supervision.
ARNING! Faulty blades can increase
the risk of accidents.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when fitting
cutting attachments.

Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Hand guard
(327HDA65, 327HE3)
The hand guard prevents 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.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine
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

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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
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 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! 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!
Blades
To ensure good cutting results it is impor tant that the
contact pressure between the blades is correct. The
contact pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the
underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go. Then
turn the screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn. Lock the screws
using the locking nut on the top of the bar. Check that the
screws are loose enough to allow the washers under the
screw heads to slide sideways.
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between
the blades should be 0,2–0,4 mm, measured at the
screws.
The edges of the blades are too hard to be filed. Dull
blades should be sharpened using a grinder.
Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.
Blade guard
(327HDA65)
The blade guard (A) is intended to protect against any
part of the body coming into contact with the blades (B).
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.
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.
Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.
