More than 300 years of innovation
Husqvarna AB is a Swedish company based on a tradition
that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Charles XI

MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
General
This section describes the machine´s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly.
Throttle lockout
The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle. When the lock (A) is pressed in this
releases the throttle (B).
The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle is
pressed. When the grip on the handle is released the throttle
trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to their original
positions. This is controlled by two independent return spring
systems. This means that the throttle trigger is automatically
locked in the idle position.
Checking the throttle lockout
• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lockout is released.
• Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
• Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
• Start the power cutter and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle control and check that the cutting blade stops and
remains stationary. If the cutting blade rotates when the
throttle is in the idle position you should check the
carburettor’s idle adjustment. See instructions in the
section "Maintenance".
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Checking the stop switch
• Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Guard for the blade
This guard is fitted above the cutting blade and is designed to
prevent parts of the blade or cutting fragments from being
thrown towards the user.
Checking the blade guard
• Check that the guard over the cutting blade is not cracked
or damaged in any other way. Replace when damaged.
• Check that the cutting blade is fitted correctly and does
not show signs of damage. A damaged cutting blade can
cause personal injury.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine that has
faulty safety equipment! If your machine
fails any of these checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
The engine should be switched off, and the
stop switch in STOP position.
!
WARNING! Always check that the guard is
correctly fitted before starting the machine.

MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Vibration damping system
• Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
• The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine′s handle unit. The engine
body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from
the handles by vibration damping units.
Checking the vibration damping system
• Check the vibration damping units regularly for cracks or
deformation. Replace them if damaged.
• Check that the vibration damping element is securely
attached between the engine unit and handle unit.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Inspecting the muffler
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and secured
correctly.
!
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 normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists. These
symptoms may be increased in cold
temperatures.
!
WARNING! The engine should be switched
off, and the stop switch in STOP position.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine without a
muffler, or with a faulty muffler. A damaged
muffler may substantially increase the noise
level and the fire hazard. Keep fire fighting
equipment handy.
The muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be
aware of the fire hazard, especially when
working near flammable substances and/or
vapours.

CUTTING BLADES
General
• Cutting blades are available in two basic designs;
abrasive baldes and diamond blades.
• High-quality blades are often most economical. Lower
quality blades often have inferior cutting capacity and a
shorter service life, which results in a higher cost in
relation to the quantity of material that is cut.
• Make sure that the right bushing is used for the cutting
blade to be fitted on the machine. See the instructions
under the heading Assembling the cutting blade.
Suitable cutting blades
*Without water
**Diamond blades for dry cutting
Cutting blades for different materials
Follow the instructions supplied with the cutting blade
concerning the suitability of the blade for various applications,
or consult your dealer in case of doubts.
* CAUTION! Only specialty blades.
Hand-held, high-speed machines
• Our cutting blades are manufactured for high-speed,
portable power cutters.
• Check that the blade is approved for the same or higher
speed according to the aproval plate of the engine. Never
use a cutting blade with a lower speed rating than that of
the power cutter.
Blade vibration
• The blade can become out-of-round and vibrate if an
excessive feed pressure is used.
• A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. Otherwise
replace the blade.
Abrasive blades
• The cutting material on abrasive blades consists of grit
bonded using an organic binder. ”Reinforced blades” are
made up of a fabric or fibre base that prevents total
breakage at maximum working speed if the blade should
be cracked or damaged.
• A cutting blade’s performance is determined by the type
and size of abrasive corn, and the type and hardness of
the bonding agent.
• Ensure the blade it not cracked or damaged in any other
way.
• Test the abrasive blade by hanging it on your finger and
tapping it lightly with a screwdriver or the like. If the blade
does not produce a resonant, ringing sound it is damaged.
!
WARNING! A cutting blade may burst and
cause injury to the operator.

!
WARNING! Never use a cutting blade for any
other materials than that it was intended for.
Cutting plastics with a diamond blade can
cause kickback when the material melts due
to the heat produced when cutting and
sticks to the blade. Never cut plastic
materials with a diamond blade!
