Beforeusingyour newchain saw

Read the Operator’s Manual carefully.

● Check the assembly and adjustment of the cutting equipment (page 6).

● Start the saw and check the carburetor adjustment (page 16-17).

s Do not start sawing until a sufficient amount of chain oil has reached the chain (page 7,12-13).

IMPORTANT! A too lean carburetor adjustment increases the risk of serious engine malfunction. Insufficient air filter maintenance increases the deposits on the spark plug. This can cause starting difficulties. Incorrectly adjusted chain increases the wear and damage on the bar, the drive sprocket and the chain.

You will find one or more of the following warning labels on the saw in black printing on yellow background.

USA

Avoid contact between any object and the guide bar tip. Contact can cause the chain and guide bar to suddenly move upward and backward, which may cause serious injury. Use both hands on the handles. Follow all safety precautions in the operator’s manual. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious personal injury. Recomm. for

Safety Precautions

~ WARNING!: KICKBACK may occur when the nose

or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

DTip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast

reverse REACTION, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

DPinching the saw chain along the top of the guide

bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

DEither of these reactions may cause you to lose

control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built

into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw.

Don’t let go.

Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstacles. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the saw.

Cut at high engine speeds.

Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance

instructions for the saw chain. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

mju to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any

com inations of these persons may result from onehanded operation. A chain saw is intended for twohanded use.

protective

gloves; and eye, hearing, and head protection

devices.

Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain

(4)

saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.

(5)

Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work

(6)

area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.

(7)

Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw

(8)

chain is not contacting anything.

(9)

Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,

(lo)

improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.

(11)

Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush

(12)

and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

(13)

When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel

(14)

mixture. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.

(15)

Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you

(16)

have been specifically trained to do so.

(17)

Do not operate a chain saw above shoulder height. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in

(18)

the operator’s/owner’s safety and maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the fly-wheel could occur and subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.) When transporting your chain saw, use the approp-

(19)

riate guide bar scabbard.

m order to protect your hands from injury.

Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by moving the front hand guard towards the front handle. Take off the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover (chain brake) Take off the transportation ring (A).

Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost

position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket and in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top side of the bar. Make sure that the edges on the cutting links are facing forward on the top side of the bar.

P!l

.—J.—.—

Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain adjuster pin in the hole on the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit correctly on the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the groove on the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger tight. Tension the chain by using the combination wrench. Turn the chain adjuster screw clockwise. The chain should be tensioned until it fits snugly on the underside of the bar.

Hold up the tip of the bar and tighten the chain. The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of tt bar, but it can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the combination wrench. When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain gives good cutting performance and long lifetime.

————-——

WARNING! The chain saw is equippedwith a two-stroke engine. Always run the saw with fuel, which is mixedwith oil. Providefor good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.

Fuel

Always use a regular unleaded gasoline with minimum octane number of 90. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

Two-stroke oil

For the best performance, use Husqvarnatwo-stroke oil, which

.> ~

is especially developed for chain saws. Mixing ratio 1:50 (2 0/0),

If Husqvarnatwo-stroke oil is not available, you may use another two-stroke oil of good quality. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).

.\,

In countries where no two-stroke oil is available, motor oil SAE

‘G

30 can be used. Mixing ratio 1:25 (4%).

Never use multi-grade oil (1OW-30) or waste oil.

Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container.

Always start by filling half the amount of fuel, which is to be used, Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture, Add the remaining amount of fuel,

Mix (shake)the fuel mix thoroughly before filling the fuel tank on the saw.

Chain oil

● The chain lubrication svstem is automatic, Alwavs use s~ecial

chain oil with oood adhesive characteristics. ‘

In countries w;ere no specialchain oil is available, gear box oil EP 90 can be used,

Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the bar and the chain.

It is important to use oil of the right viscosity according to the a

~ WARNING!

temperature.

●

In temperatures below OOC(320F)some oils become less viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components.

✎

Contact your servicing dealer when choosing chain oil.



Fueling

● Always shut off the engine before refueling.

● Slowly open the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that

possible over- pressure disappears.

● Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.

● Always move the saw away from the fueling area before

starting.

Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that

no dirt falls into the tank and causes malfunction. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shakingthe container, before fueling. The volume of the chain oil tank and the fuel tank are adjustedto

each other. Therefore, always fill up with chainoil and fuel at the

same time.
