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
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.

under the heading Personal protective equipment.
Never use a machine that has been modified in any way
from its original specification.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks,
maintenance and service instructions described in this
manual. Some maintenance and service measures must
be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
All covers, guards and handles must be fitted before
starting. Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead
are undamaged to avoid the risk of electric shock.
The machine operator must ensure that no people or
animals come closer than 15 metres while working. When
several operators are working in the same area the safety
distance should be at least twice the tree height and no
less than 15 metres.
ARNING! The ignition system of this
machine produces an electromagnetic field
!
during operation. This field may under
some circumstances interfere with
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, we recommend persons with
pacemakers to consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer before
operating this machine.
ARNING! Running an engine in a confined
or badly ventilated area can result in death
!
due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide
poisoning.
IMPOR TANT!
A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer can be dangerous if
used incorrectly or carelessly, and can cause serious or
fatal injury to the operator or others. 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! Listen out for warning signals
or shouts when you are wearing hearing
protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.
HELMET

you must also wear approved protective goggles. Approved
protective goggles must comply with standard ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA or EN 166 in EU countries.
ARNING! Never allow children to use or
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
!
machine is equipped with a spring-loaded
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.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when fitting
cutting attachments.

Stop s witch
Use the stop s witch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Cutting attac hment 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 cutting attachment.
Check that the guard is undamaged 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 chapter on Technical data.
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard. See the chapter
!
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation
easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
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 symptoms

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 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!

Locking nut
A locking 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:
• Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check
the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord
diameter.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our
recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the
blade packaging.
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.
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly 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.
