General working instructions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• This section takes up the basic safety precautions
for working with the edger.
• If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain
how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact
your dealer or your service workshop.
• Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond
your capability.
• Never allow children to use the machine.
• Ensure no one comes closer than 15 metres when working.
• Never allow anyone else to use the machine without first
ensuring that they have understood the contents of the
Operator’s Manual.
Safety instructions before starting work
• Inspect the working area. Remove any objects, such as
stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string, etc. that can
be thrown or can wrap around the blade or blade guard.
• Keep others at a safe distance. Children, animals,
onlookers and helpers should stand outside of the safety
zone of 15 m (50 feet). Stop the machine immediately if any
one should approach.
• Check the entire machine before starting work. Replace
damaged parts. Check for fuel leakage and that all safety
guards and covers are complete and fastened securely.
Check all nuts and bolts
• Check the blade for cracks
or any other damage.
Basic safety precautions
1. Observe your surroundings:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect
your control of the machine.

parts with repair.
• Always cut edges at full
throttle.
• Always keep the blade close to the ground.
• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.
Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the
engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels
from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to
serious engine damage.
• Be especially careful when pulling the edger towards you
during work.
• If heavy vibrations occur, stop the engine. Remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug. Check that the
machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.

MAINTENANCE
Angle gear
The angle gear is filled
a sufficient quantity of grease
at the factory. However,
before using the machine you
should check that the angle
gear is filled to 3/4 with
grease. Use HUSQVARNA
special grease.
Normally, the grease does not
need to be changed except
when repairs are carried out.
Lubricating the flexible drive axle
Inside the edger‘s drive shaft
is a flexible drive axle. The
flexible drive axle should be
regularly lubricated after 30
hours of operation. Loosen the
two screws on the angle gear
and remove it. The flexible
drive axle is easily removed
from the shaft by taking a firm
grip on the axle end. Lubricate
the flexible drive axle over its
entire length and reinsert it in
the shaft. Turn the axle while
inserting it so that it correctly
engages in the clutch.
Replace the angle gear on the
drive axle shaft and tighten the
two screws.
Maintenance schedule
Below follows some general maintenance instructions. If you
need further information please contact your service
workshop.
Daily maintenance
1. Check that the blade
