INTRODUCTION  
Dear Customer,  
Congratulations 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 Husqvarna 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 the more than 300 years of beeing, 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. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor driven products for forestry and  
gardening as well as for building and construction industry. Husqvarnas aim is also to be in the front edge according to  
ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection.That is the reason why we have developed many different  
features to provide our products within these areas.  
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very  
long time to come. The purchase of one of our products 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 authorised dealers, ask for the  
address of your nearest service workshop.  
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  
operators manual as a valuable document. By following itscontent (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and  
the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you will sell this machine, make sure that the buyer will get  
the operators manual.  
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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Important  
Personal protective equipment  
IMPORTANT!  
IMPORTANT!  
The machine is only designed for cutting branches and  
twigs.  
A pole saw is a dangerous tool if used carelessly or  
incorrectly and can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It  
is extremely important that you read and understand the  
contents of this Operator’s Manual.  
Never use a machine that has been modified in any way  
from its original specification.  
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.  
Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk  
alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect  
your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

Machines safety equipment  
This section describes the machines safety equipment,  
its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be  
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the  
”What is what?” section to locate where this equipment is  
positioned on your machine.  
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk  
of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not  
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not  
carried out professionally. If you need further information  
please contact your nearest service workshop.  
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move  
freely and that the return springs work properly.  
IMPORTANT!  
All servicing and repair work on the machine requires  
special training.This is especially true of the machines  
safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the  
checks described below you must contact your service  
agent.When you buy any of our products we guarantee  
the availability of professional repairs and service. If the  
retailer who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer,  
ask him for the address of your nearest service agent.  
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the hedge  
trimmer and apply full throttle. Release the throttle trigger  
and check that the blades stop and remain stationary. If  
the blades move when the throttle trigger is in the idle  
position then the carburettor idle setting must be adjusted.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Stop switch  
Muffler  
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.  
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.  
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when  
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.  
Vibration damping system  
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 mesh. Check whether the muffler on your  
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.  
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping  
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make  
operation easier.  
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.  
The machines vibration damping system reduces the  
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting  
equipment and the machines handle unit.  
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to  
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 normally appear in the  
fingers, hands or wrists.The risk  
increases at low temperatures.  
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark  
arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked  
mesh 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!

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly  
WARNING! The inside of the muffler  
contain chemicals that may be  
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these  
elements in the event of a damaged  
muffler.  
sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the  
recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly  
sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.  
!
!
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!  
Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our  
instructions and use the recommended raker  
gauge. Too large a clearance increases the risk of  
kickback.  
Quick release (Balance Flex harness)  
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the  
front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches  
fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free  
yourself from the machine and harness.  
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is  
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased  
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.  
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and  
properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is  
more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the  
bar, chain and drive sprocket.  
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned.  
Once the harness and machine have been adjusted,  
check that the harness quick release works correctly.  
Cutting equipment  
This section describes how you can achieve maximum  
clearing capacity and extend the life of the cutting  
attachment through correct maintenance and using the  
right type of cutting attachment.  
WARNING! Never use a machine with  
faulty safety equipment.The machine’s  
safety equipment must be checked and  
maintained as described in this section.  
If your machine fails any of these checks  
contact your service agent to get it  
repaired.  
!
Check the cutting equipment with regard to damage  
and crack formation. Damaged cutting equipment  
should always be replaced.  
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!  
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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Specification of bar and saw chain  
Chain  
When the cutting attachment supplied with your machine  
has to be replaced, because it is worn out or damaged,  
you must only fit the types of bar and saw chain  
recommended by us.  
Saw chain pitch (inches). (The distance between  
three drive links, divided by two.)  
Drive link width (mm/inches)  
Number of drive links.  
Bar  
Length (inches/cm)  
Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T). Small number  
= small tip radius = low risk of kickback.  
Chain pitch (inches). The spacing between the drive  
links of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth  
on the bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket.  
Sharpening your chain and adjusting  
raker clearance  
Number of drive links. The number of drive links is  
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch  
and the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.  
WARNING! The risk of kickback is  
increased with a badly sharpened chain!  
!
General information on sharpening cutting teeth  
Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you  
have to exert more pressure to force the bar through  
the wood and the cuttings will be very small. If the  
chain is very blunt it will not produce any cuttings at  
all. Wood powder would be the only result.  
Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar  
must match the width of the chain drive links.  
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and  
produces long, thick cuttings.  
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutting link  
and this consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the raker lip  
(B).The cutting depth is determined by the difference  
in height between the two.

Sharpening cutting teeth  
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the  
right equipment. We recommend that you use our file  
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a  
file gauge.  
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack  
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to  
sharpen correctly.  
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face outwards.  
Reduce the pressure on the return stroke. File all the

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
teeth on one side of the bar first. Then turn the saw  
Setting the raker clearance  
over and file the remaining teeth from the other side.  
Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth  
should be newly sharpened.  
We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance  
every third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This  
recommendation assumes that the length of the  
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.  
To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file  
and a raker gauge.  
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length  
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the  
chain is worn out and should be replaced.  
Place the gauge over the raker lip.  
Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes  
through the gauge and file off the excess. The  
clearance is correct when you no longer feel any  
resistance as you draw the file over the gauge.  
General advice on setting raker clearance  
When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the  
raker clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal  
cutting performance you must file back the raker lip to  
the recommended height.  
Tensioning the chain  
On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the  
raker lip is rounded. It is very important that you  
maintain this radius or bevel when you adjust the raker  
clearance.  
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off  
and cause serious or even fatal injury.  
!
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is  
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to  
take up the slack.  
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE!  
A new chain has a running-in period during which you  
should check the tension more frequently.  
We recommend that you use our raker gauge to  
achieve the correct clearance and bevel on the raker  
lip.  
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so  
tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.  
WARNING! The risk of kickback is  
increased if the raker clearance is too  
large!

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
- Undo the bar nut.  
Filling with chain oil  
The oil pump is preset at the factory to satisfy most  
lubrication requirements. A full oil tank normally lasts  
about the same time as a full fuel tank. Therefore check  
the amount of oil in the oil tank when filling the fuel to  
prevent damage to the saw chain and bar that may arise  
due to a lack of lubrication.  
-Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw  
clockwise. Use a combination spanner or turn by hand.  
The chain should be tensioned until it fits snugly on the  
underside of the bar.  
Checking chain lubrication  
- Tighten the bar nut using the combination spanner.  
Check that the chain can be pulled round easily by hand.  
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim  
the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20  
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4  
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light  
surface.  
Lubricating cutting equipment  
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting  
equipment may cause the chain to snap,  
which could lead to serious, even fatal  
injuries.  
!
Adjusting chain lubrication  
When cutting dry or hard species of wood it may be  
necessary to increase lubrication.Turn the adjuster screw  
anticlockwise to increase the oil flow. Remember that this  
will increase oil consumption, check the level in the oil  
tank regularly. Turn the adjuster screw clockwise to  
decrease the oil flow.  
Chain oil  
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the  
chain and also maintain its flow characteristics  
regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold  
winter weather.  
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an  
optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is  
also biodegradable. We recommend the use of our  
own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise  
environmental damage.  
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil  
is recommended.  
In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw  
chains is unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil  
may be used.  
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself,  
the machine and the environment.  
English 13

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
What to do if lubrication does not work:  
Chain drive sprocket  
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.  
Clean if necessary.  
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.  
Replace if wear is excessive.  
Check that the oil channel in the gear housing is  
clean. Clean if necessary.  
Bar  
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely.If the chain  
lubrication system is still not working after carrying out  
the above checks you should contact your service  
workshop.  
Check regularly:  
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.  
Remove these with a file if necessary.  
Checking wear on cutting equipment  
Chain  
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly  
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.  
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If  
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is  
due to running with a slack chain.  
Check the chain daily for:  
Visible cracks in rivets and links.  
Whether the chain is stiff.  
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.  
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over  
daily.  
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a  
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.  
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to  
only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.  
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment  
may increase the risk of accidents.

CAUTION! Make sure that the drive shaft inside the shaft  
engages with the cut-out in the cutting head.  
Fitting the bar and chain  
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  
ensures good cutting performance and long life.  
Unscrew the bar nut and remove the protective cover.  
Fit the bar over the bar bolt. 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.  
Adjusting the harness  
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing  
forward on the top edge of the bar.  
Fit the cover and locate the chain adjuster pin (A) in the  
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit  
correctly on the drive sprocket (B) and that the chain is in  
the groove in the bar (C). Tighten the bar nut finger-tight.  
You should always use the harness with the machine to  
give maximum control over the machine and reduce the  
risk of fatigue in your arms and back.  
Put on the harness.  
Hook the machine onto the harness support hook.  
Adjust the length of the harness so that the support  
hook is roughly level with your right hip.

If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and  
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.  
CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least  
90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with a  
catalytic converter (see chapter onTechnical data) always  
use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded  
petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.  
If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,  
change your clothes.Wash any part of your body that  
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.  
3
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for  
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.  
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if  
it is available.  
Transport and storage  
Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there  
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact  
with sparks or naked flames, for example, from  
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/  
switches or boilers.  
When storing and transporting fuel always use  
approved containers intended for this purpose.  
The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you  
run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-  
called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high  
engine temperature, which can result in serious  
engine damage.  
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel  
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol  
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.  
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete  
service is carried out before long-term storage.  
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane  
rating is recommended.  
The transport guard must always be fitted to the  
cutting attachment when the machine is being  
transported or in storage.  
Two-stroke oil  
In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine,  
the spark plug cap must always be removed during  
long-term storage, if the machine is not under close  
supervision and when performing all service  
measures.  
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA  
two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for  
our air-cooled two-stroke engines.  
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled  
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated  
TCW).  
WARNING!Take care when handling fuel.  
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion  
and inhaling fumes.  
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.  
!
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may  
jeopardise function and decrease the life time of  
catalytic converters.  
Fuel  
Mixing ratio  
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke  
engine and must always been run using a mixture of  
petrol and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to  
accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to  
ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing  
small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can  
drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

FUEL HANDLING  
Fuelling  
Mixing  
Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container  
intended for fuel.  
Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to  
be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix  
(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of  
petrol.  
WARNING! Taking the following  
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:  
!
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling  
the machine’s fuel tank.  
Do not smoke or place hot objects near  
fuel.  
Always shut off the engine before  
refuelling.  
Always stop the engine and let it cool for  
a few minutes before refuelling.  
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly  
so that any excess pressure is released  
gently.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after  
refuelling.  
Always move the machine away from the  
refuelling area before starting.  
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a  
time.  
Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.  
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in  
the tank can cause operating problems.  
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank  
should be emptied and cleaned.  
Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the  
container before filling the tank.

damage to the centrifugal clutch.  
WARNING! Never stand directly  
underneath a branch that is being cut.  
This could lead to serious or even fatal  
personal injury.  
Safety instructions after completing work  
!
Observe great care when working close to overhead  
power lines. Falling branches can result in short-  
circuiting.  
The transport guard should always be fitted to the  
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.  
Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before  
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.  
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.  
WARNING! Observe the applicable safety  
regulations for work in the vicinity of  
overhead power lines.  
!
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the  
cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can  
easily cause cuts.  
WARNING! This machine is not  
electrically insulated. If the machine  
!
touches or comes close to high-voltage  
power lines it could lead to death or  
serious bodily injury. Electricity can  
jump from one point to another by  
arcing.The higher the voltage, the  
greater the distance electricity can jump.  
Electricity can also travel through  
branches and other objects, especially if  
they are wet. Always keep a distance of  
at least 10 m between the machine and  
high-voltage power lines and/or any  
objects that are touching them. If have to  
work within this safe distance you  
should always contact the relevant  
power company to make sure the power  
is switched off before you start work.  
Store the machine out of reach of children.  
Use only original spare parts for repairs.  
Basic working techniques  
Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to  
get the best balance.  
WARNING! This machine has a long  
reach. Make sure that no people or  
animals come closer than 15 m when the  
machine is running.  
!
Whenever possible position yourself so that you can  
make the cut at right angles to the branch.  
Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.  
Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the  
branches have been cut back cleanly.  
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each  
working operation. Long periods at full throttle without  
any load on the engine can lead to serious engine  
damage.  
Always work at full throttle.

you (like a fishing rod) as this increases the apparent  
weight of the cutting attachment.  
and cause permanent damage to the tree. The cut  
should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness  
to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you  
withdraw the cutting attachment from the branch to  
prevent it jamming.  
Cut large branches in sections so that you have better  
control over where they fall.  
Use the harness to support the weight of the machine  
and make it easier to handle.  
Make sure you have a firm footing and that you can  
work without being hampered by branches, stones  
and trees.  
Never cut through the swelling at the root of the  
branch as this will slow down healing and increase the  
risk of fungal attack!  
WARNING! Never activate the throttle  
without having the cutting attachment in  
full view.  
!
Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide  
support during cutting. This will help prevent the  
cutting attachment from ”jumping” on the branch.  
Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch  
before cutting through the branch. This will prevent  
tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing

MAINTENANCE  
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle  
Carburettor  
speed. If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a  
higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a  
lower idle speed.  
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and  
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful  
emissions. After the engine has used 8-10 tanks of fuel  
the engine will be run-in.To ensure that it continues to run  
at peak performance and to minimise harmful exhaust  
emissions after the running-in period, ask your dealer/  
service workshop (who will have a rev counter at their  
disposal) to adjust your carburettor.  
Basic setting  
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during  
testing at the factory. The basic setting is richer than  
the optimal setting and should be maintained for the  
first few hours the machine is in use. The carburettor  
should then be finely adjusted. Fine adjustment  
should be carried out by a skilled technician.  
WARNING! The complete clutch cover  
and shaft must be fitted before the

from the machine.  
stops, contact your dealer/service  
workshop. Do not use the machine until  
it has been correctly adjusted or  
repaired.  
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is  
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,  
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.  
Fine adjustment  
When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor  
should be finely adjusted.The fine adjustment should  
be carried out by a qualified person. First adjust the L-  
jet, then the idling screw T and then the H-jet.  
The carburettor has three adjustment controls:  
L = Low speed jet  
H = High speed jet  
Conditions  
T = Idle adjustment screw  
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the  
air filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted. If you  
adjust the carburettor when the air filter is dirty it will  
result in a leaner mixture when the filter is finally  
cleaned. This can lead to serious engine damage.  
Carefully turn both jets, L and H, so that they are  
midway between fully screwed in and fully screwed  
out.  
Do not attempt to adjust the L and H jets beyond either  
stop as this could damage the engine.  
Now start the machine according to the starting  
instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes.  
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the  
engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be  
turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.  
The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel  
to match the rate that air is admitted, which is  
controlled with the throttle. If they are screwed  
clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less fuel)  
and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio  
becomes richer (more fuel). A lean mixture gives a  
higher engine speed and a rich mixture gives a lower  
engine speed.

MAINTENANCE  
Low speed jet L  
High speed jet H  
Try to find the highest idle speed by turning the low speed  
jet L clockwise then anti-clockwise. When the highest  
speed has been found, turn the low speed jet L 1/4 turn  
anti-clockwise.  
The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed,  
temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H  
is set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will  
be too high and cause engine damage. Do not let the  
engine run at full speed for more than 10 seconds.  
Apply full throttle and turn the high speed jet H very slowly  
clockwise until the engine slows down.Then turn the high  
speed jet H very slowly anticlockwise until the engine  
starts to run unevenly. Now turn the high speed jet H  
slowly clockwise a little way until the engine runs  
smoothly.  
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the  
engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be  
turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.  
Fine adjustment of the idle speedT  
Note that the engine should not be under load when you  
adjust the high speed jet H.You should therefore remove  
the cutting attachment, nut, support flange and drive disc  
before adjusting the high speed jet H.  
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if  
it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment  
screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to  
rotate.Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting  
attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted  
when the engine will run smoothly in every position. The  
idle speed should also be well below the speed at which  
the cutting attachment starts to rotate.  
The high speed jet H is adjusted correctly when the  
machine burbles a little. If the machine races then the  
setting is too lean. If the engine produces a lot of smoke  
and burbles a lot then the setting is too rich.  
H
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor,  
contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a  
revolution counter at their disposal.  
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be  
adjusted so that the cutting attachment  
!
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
stops, contact your dealer/service  
workshop. Do not use the machine until  
it has been correctly adjusted or  
repaired.  
When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine  
will accelerate without hesitation and burble a little at  
maximum speed. It is also important that the cutting  
attachment does not rotate at idle. If the low speed jet L is  
set too lean it may cause starting difficulties and poor  
acceleration.  
If the high speed jet H is set too lean it will result in less  
power, less performance, poor acceleration and/or  
damage to the engine.  
If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in  
acceleration problems or too low a working speed.

MAINTENANCE  
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.  
Muffler  
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.  
!
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic  
converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether  
your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.  
Remember the risk of fire!  
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to  
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The  
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may  
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible  
material.  
Cooling system  
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the  
machine is equipped with a cooling system.  
4
3
2
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor  
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should  
clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done  
with a wire brush.  
1
On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should  
be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers  
fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be  
checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh  
is damaged it should be replaced.  
The cooling system consists of:  
1
2
3
4
Air intake on the starter.  
Fins on the flywheel.  
Cooling fins on the cylinder.  
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).  
If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that  
the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired.  
Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked  
mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in  
damage to the cylinder and piston. See also instructions  
under the heading Maintenance.  
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more  
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling  
system results in the machine overheating which causes  
damage to the piston and cylinder.  
Spark plug  
The spark plug condition is influenced by:  
English 27  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
MAINTENANCE  
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.  
Starting problems  
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type  
of oil).  
Loss of engine power  
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.  
Excessive fuel consumption.  
A dirty air filter.  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug  
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and  
starting difficulties.  
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if  
conditions are exceptionally dusty.  
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs  
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first  
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,  
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The  
spark plug should be replaced after about a month in  
operation or earlier if necessary.  
Cleaning the air filter  
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug  
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/  
cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a  
suppressor.  
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it  
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry  
before refitting it.  
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be  
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced  
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter  
must always be replaced.  
Two-piece shaft  
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter  
should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the  
heading Oiling the air filter.  
The drive shaft end in the lower shaft should be lubricated  
with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive  
shaft ends (splined coupling) on models with two-piece  
shafts will seize if they are not lubricated regularly.  
Oiling the air filter  
Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48.  
The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly  
through the filter.You should therefore avoid skin contact.  
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.  
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the  
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour  
off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine.Never  
use common engine oil.This would drain through the filter  
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.  
Air filter  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust  
and dirt in order to avoid:
