					IMPORTANT INFORMATION   
					This section describes the machine‘s safety equipment, its   
					function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to   
					ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter “What is   
					what“ to locate where this equipment is positioned on your   
					machine.)   
					• 
					If used incorrectly or carelessly this machine   
					can become a dangerous tool that can cause   
					serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It   
					is extremely important that you read and underst-   
					and the content of this manual.   
					WARNING!   
					Never use a machine with defective safety   
					equipment. Follow the control, maintenance   
					and service instructions described in this   
					section.   
					• 
					When using the machine, personal protective   
					equipment approved by the appropriate   
					authorities must be used. Personal protective   
					equipment does not eliminate the risk of   
					accidents. However, it can reduce the effects of   
					an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your   
					dealer for help when choosing protective   
					equipment.   
					! 
					1. Throttle trigger   
					lock   
					WARNING!   
					Remove your hearing protection as soon as   
					you stop the engine, so that you can hear   
					any noises or warning signals.   
					The throttle trigger lock is   
					designed to prevent the   
					throttle from accidentally

					A 
					being engaged. When the   
					GLOVES   
					trigger lock (A) is pressed   
					into the handle (= when you   
					hold the handle) the throttle   
					(B) is released. When the   
					grip on the handle is   
					released the throttle and the   
					throttle trigger lock return   
					to their original positions.   
					This takes place via two   
					independent return spring   
					systems. This means that the   
					throttle is automatically   
					locked in its “idling“   
					position.   
					Gloves must be worn   
					whenever required, for   
					example when fitting,   
					inspecting or cleaning   
					cutting equipment.

					This section describes how through correct maintenance and   
					through using the right type of cutting equipment you can:   
					• Obtain maximum cutting capacity.   
					WARNING!   
					Never use a machine with defective   
					safety equipment.The safety equipment   
					should be maintained as described in this   
					section. If your machine does not meet   
					any of these controls you should contact   
					your service workshop.   
					! 
					! 
					• Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.   
					1 Check the cutting   
					equipment with regard to   
					damage and crack   
					formation. Damaged   
					cutting equipment should   
					always be replaced.   
					WARNING!   
					Always stop the engine before carrying out   
					any work on the cutting equipment.This   
					will continue to move even after the throttle   
					has been released. Make sure the cutting   
					equipment has stopped completely and   
					disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug   
					before you start work on it.   
					2 Only use cutting   
					equipment recommended   
					by us! See the ”Technical   
					data” section.   
					Specification of blade and chain   
					When the cutting equipment supplied with your machine   
					becomes worn or damaged, you will need to replace it. Use   
					only the manufacturer approved bar and chain.   
					3 Keep the chain cutting   
					teeth properly sharpened!

					• 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, just wood powder.

					B. Sharpening   
					cutting tooth   
					To sharpen cutting teeth you   
					will need a ROUND FILE   
					and a FILE GAUGE.   
					• When you sharpen the   
					cutting teeth you reduce   
					the RAKER   
					CLEARANCE (cutting   
					depth). To maintain   
					cutting performance   
					you must file back the   
					raker teeth to the

					recommended height.   
					2. Always file cutting teeth   
					from the inside face,   
					• 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.   
					reducing the pressure on   
					the return stroke.   
					File all the teeth on one   
					side first, then turn the   
					machine over and file the   
					teeth on the other side.   
					3. File all the teeth to the   
					same length. When the   
					length of the cutting teeth   
					is reduced to 4 mm (.16")   
					the chain is worn out and   
					should be replaced.   
					• We recommend the use   
					of a raker gauge to   
					achieve the correct   
					clearance and bevel on   
					the raker lip.   
					min 4 mm   
					(0,16")   
					WARNING!   
					The risk of kickback is increased if the   
					raker clearance is too large!

					1. Undo the bar nut.   
					D. Adjusting raker clearance   
					• When correction of the   
					raker clearance is made   
					the teeth must be newly   
					sharpened.   
					We recommend that you   
					adjust the raker clearance   
					every third time you   
					sharpen the chain.   
					2. Tension the chain by   
					turning the chain   
					tensioning screw   
					clockwise using the   
					combination spanner.   
					Tighten the chain until   
					it no longer hangs slack

					• Chainsaw chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the   
					chain and also maintain its flow caracteristics regardless of   
					whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.   
					• As a chainsaw manufacturer we have developed an optimal

					biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for   
					both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental   
					damage.

					excess. The clearance is   
					correct when you no   
					longer feel any resistance   
					as you draw the file over   
					the gauge.   
					Tensioning the saw chain   
					• 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!   
					WARNING!   
					A slack chain may jump off and cause

					This is dangerous for yourself, the saw and the environment.   
					becomes. It is therefore   
					important to adjust the   
					chain regularly to take up   
					the slack.   
					B. Filling with chain oil   
					The oil pump is preset at   
					the factory to meet most   
					lubrication requirements   
					and a full oil tank will last   
					about half as long as a tank   
					of fuel. You should   
					therefore check the level in   
					the oil tank regularly to   
					avoid damaging the chain   
					and bar by running out of   
					oil.   
					• Check the chain tension   
					every time you refuel.   
					NOTE! A new chain has   
					a running-in period   
					during which you should   
					check and adjust the   
					chain tension more   
					frequently.   
					• As a rule the chain   
					should be tensioned as   
					tightly as possible, but   
					not so tight that you   
					cannot pull it round   
					freely by hand.

					C. Checking chain lubrication   
					Checking wear on cutting equipment   
					A. Saw chain   
					• Check the chain   
					Check the saw chain daily   
					for:   
					lubrication each time you   
					refuel.   
					• Visible cracks in rivets and   
					links.   
					• Whether the chain is stiff.   
					• Whether rivets and links   
					are badly worn.   
					Compare the existing chain   
					with a new chain to decide   
					how badly it is worn.   
					Aim the tip of the saw at a   
					light coloured surface   
					about 20 cm away. After   
					1 minute running at 3/4   
					throttle you should see a   
					distinct line of oil on the   
					light surface.   
					min 4 mm   
					(0,16")   
					When the length of the   
					cutting teeth has worn down   
					to only 4 mm the chain must   
					be replaced.   
					D. Adjusting chain lubrication   
					• When cutting dry or hard   
					species of wood it may be   
					necessary to increase   
					lubrication. To increase   
					the oil flow, first undo   
					screw (A) then turn the   
					B. Chain drive wheel   
					Check regularly the degree of   
					wear on the drive wheel.   
					Change if it is irregularly   
					worn.   
					A 
					adjuster screw (B)   
					anticlockwise. Re-tighten   
					screw (A). Remember that   
					this will increase the oil   
					consumption and you   
					should therefore check the   
					level in the oil tank more   
					frequently.   
					B 
					C.Vibration damping   
					system   
					Check regularly that the   
					vibration damper i free from   
					cracks.   
					Check regularly the degree of   
					wear on the rubber elements.   
					Change if worn.   
					Procedure if the lubrication does not   
					function:   
					• Check that the oil channel   
					in the bar is not   
					obstructed. Clean if   
					necessary.   
					Check also that the O-   
					ring is in position and is   
					undamaged.   
					• Check that the oil channel   
					in the gear housing is   
					clean. Clean if necessary.   
					D. Guide bar   
					Check regularly:   
					• Whether there are burrs   
					on the edges of the bar.   
					Remove these with a file if   
					necessary.   
					• Whether the groove in the   
					bar has become badly   
					worn. Replace the bar if   
					necessary.   
					• Check that the bar tip   
					sprocket turns freely. If   
					the chain lubrication   
					system is still not working   
					after carrying out the   
					above measures you   
					should contact your   
					service agent.   
					• Whether the tip of the bar   
					is uneven or badly worn.   
					If a hollow forms on one   
					side of the bar tip this is   
					due to a slack chain.   
					• To prolong the life of the   
					bar you should turn it   
					over daily.   
					WARNING!   
					Using faulty cutting equipment may   
					increase the risk of accidents.

				SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS   
					• Use the stop at the base of   
					the bar to provide support   
					during cutting. This will   
					help prevent the cutting   
					equipment from jumping   
					on the branch.   
					• Make an initial cut on the   
					underside of the branch   
					before cutting through the   
					branch from above. This   
					will prevent tearing of the   
					bark, which could lead to   
					slow healing and cause   
					permanent damage to the   
					tree. The first cut should   
					not be deeper than 1/3 of   
					the branch thickness to   
					prevent jamming. Keep the   
					chain running while you   
					withdraw the cutting   
					equipment from the branch   
					to prevent it jamming.   
					• Use the harness to support   
					the weight of the machine   
					and make it easier to   
					handle.   
					• Make sure you have a firm   
					footing and will not be   
					hampered by branches,   
					stones and other trees.   
					WARNING!   
					Never use the throttle without having a   
					full view of the cutting equipment.

				FUEL HANDLING   
					Mixture   
					Fuel mixture   
					• Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for   
					fuel.   
					NOTE!   
					The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must   
					always be run on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke oil. It is   
					important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure   
					the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of   
					oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture   
					when mixing small amounts of fuel.   
					• Always start by filling half the quantity of gasoline required.   
					Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel   
					mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of gasoline.   
					• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the   
					machine‘s fuel tank.   
					WARNING!   
					Always provide good ventilation when   
					• Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.   
					! 
					Gasoline   
					handling fuel.   
					• If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the fuel   
					tank should be emptied and cleaned.   
					NOTE!   
					• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.   
					Always use high grade   
					unleaded oil mixed gasoline   
					(minimum 87 RON).   
					Leaded fuel will destroy the   
					catalytic converter and it   
					will no longer serve its   
					purpose.   
					WARNING!   
					The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot   
					during and after use.This also applies   
					during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,   
					especially when handling the machine near   
					flammable substances or vapours.   
					! 
					Fuelling   
					• This engine is certified to   
					operate on unleaded   
					gasoline.   
					WARNING!   
					The following precautions reduce the risk of   
					fire:   
					! 
					• The lowest recommended   
					octane rating is 87. If you   
					run the engine on lower   
					octane rating than 87 so-   
					called “knocking“ can   
					occur. This leads to an   
					increased engine   
					temperature, which can   
					result in a serious engine   
					breakdown.   
					Do not smoke or place any sources of heat   
					in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel when   
					the engine is running. Always stop the   
					engine and let it cool for a few minutes   
					before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly   
					when fuelling so that any over pressure is   
					released slowly.Tighten the fuel cap   
					carefully after refuelling. Always move the   
					machine from the fuelling place before   
					starting.   
					• Clean around the fuel cap.   
					Contamination in the tank   
					can disrupt operations.   
					• When working at   
					continuous high revs a   
					higher octane rating is   
					recommended.   
					• Ensure that the fuel is well   
					mixed by shaking the   
					container before filling the   
					tank.   
					Two-stroke oil   
					• For the best results use   
					HUSQVARNA two-stroke   
					oil, which has been   
					specially developed for   
					clearing saws and chain   
					saws.

					• Before any adjustments are made the airfilter should be clean   
					and the airfilter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburetor while   
					a dirty airfilter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when   
					the filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious   
					engine damage.   
					• Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point between   
					fully turned in and fully turned out..   
					• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as   
					damage can occur.   
					• The setting of the   
					carburetor means that the   
					engine is adapted to local   
					conditions, for example,   
					the climate, altitude,   
					gasoline and the type of 2-   
					stroke oil.   
					• The carburetor is   
					equipped with three   
					adjustment possibilities:   
					L = Low speed needle   
					H= High speed needle   
					T = Idle speed adjuster   
					screw   
					• Now start the machine according to the starting instructions   
					and run it warm for 10 minutes.   
					NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves the T screw   
					should be turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment   
					stops.   
					Low speed needle L   
					Try to find the highest idling   
					speed, turning the low speed   
					needle L clockwise   
					• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the   
					throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.   
					Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture   
					(less fuel) and turning them anti-clockwise gives a richer fuel   
					mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs while a   
					richer mixture give less revs.   
					respectively counter-   
					clockwise. When the highest   
					speed has been found, turn   
					the low speed needle L 1/4   
					turn counter-clockwise.   
					• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the   
					engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher   
					idling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower   
					idling speed.   
					NOTE! If the cutting-   
					+ 1/4   
					equipment rotates/moves in   
					the idling position, turn the   
					idling speed screw T   
					counter-clockwise until the   
					cutting attachment stops.

				MAINTENANCE   
					Correctly adjusted carburetor   
					Final setting of the idling speed T   
					Adjust the idling speed with   
					the screw T, if it is necessary   
					to readjust. First turn the   
					idle speed adjusting screw T   
					clockwise until the cutting-   
					eqipment starts to rotate/   
					move.   
					A correctly adjusted carburetor means that the machine   
					accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little   
					at max speed. Furthermore, the cuttingequipment, must not   
					rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low speed needle L   
					may cause starting difficulties and bad acceleration.   
					A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power =   
					less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.   
					A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives   
					acceleration problems or too low working speed.   
					Then turn, counter-clock-   
					wise until the cutting-   
					equipment stops. A correctly   
					adjusted idle speed setting   
					occurs when the engine runs   
					smoothly in every position.   
					It should also be good   
					margin to the rpm when the   
					cuttingequipment starts to   
					rotate/move.   
					CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed   
					setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment   
					stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly   
					adjusted or repaired.   
					High speed needle   
					H 
					The high speed needle   
					affects the machine’s power,   
					speed, temperature and fuel   
					consumption. A too lean   
					adjustment on the high   
					speed needle H (the high   
					speed needle H is screwed in   
					too much) gives a too high   
					speed resulting in engine   
					damage. Do not allow the   
					engine to run at full speed   
					for more than 10 seconds.   
					Apply full throttle and turn   
					the high speed needle H   
					slowly anticlockwise until   
					the engine runs unevenly.   
					The high speed needle H is   
					then turned slowly   
					clockwise a little until the   
					engine runs smoothly.   
					Note the engine should be   
					run unloaded when   
					H 
					adjusting the high speed   
					needle. The high speed   
					needle is adjusted correctly   
					when the machine ‘splatters’   
					a little .   
					NOTE! For optimum setting of the carburetor, contact a   
					qualified servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at his   
					disposal.

				MAINTENANCE   
					Muffler   
					Cooling system   
					NOTE!   
					To maintain as low opera-   
					ting temperature as possible   
					the engine is equipped with   
					a cooling system.   
					Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See   
					“Technical data” to see whether your machine is fitted with a   
					catalytic converter.   
					The cooling system consists   
					of:   
					1. An air intake on the   
					starter unit.   
					The muffler is designed to   
					dampen the noise level and   
					to direct the exhaust fumes   
					away from the user. The   
					exhaust fumes are hot and   
					can contain sparks, which   
					can result in fire if the   
					4 
					3 
					2. Cooling fins on the   
					flywheel.   
					2 
					3. Cooling fins on the   
					cylinder   
					exhaust fumes are directed   
					towards a dry and   
					inflammable material. Some   
					mufflers are equipped with a   
					special spark arrest screen. If   
					your machine is fitted with   
					this type of screen it should   
					be cleaned regularly. This is   
					done using a wire brush. On   
					mufflers without a catalytic   
					converter the screen should   
					be cleaned weekly, or   
					4. Cylinder cover (leads   
					cold air onto the   
					cylinder).   
					1 
					Clean the cooling system   
					using a brush at least once a   
					week, in difficult conditions   
					more often.   
					A dirty or blocked cooling   
					system leads to the engine   
					overheating resulting in   
					damage to the cylinder and   
					piston.   
					replaced if necessary. On   
					mufflers fitted with a   
					catalytic converter the screen   
					should be checked and   
					cleaned monthly. If the   
					screen is damaged it should   
					be replaced. If the screen is   
					frequently blocked, this can   
					be a sign that the function of   
					the catalytic converter is   
					impaired. Contact your   
					dealer to inspect the muffler.   
					A blocked screen will cause   
					the engine to overheat   
					Spark plug   
					The condition of the spark   
					plug is affected by:   
					0,5 mm   
					• 
					• 
					An incorrect carburetor   
					setting.   
					An incorrect fuel   
					mixture (too much or   
					faulty oil).   
					resulting in damage to the   
					cylinder and piston. Also see   
					under “Maintenance”.   
					• 
					A dirty air filter.   
					NOTE!   
					Never use a machine with a defective muffler.   
					These factors cause deposits   
					on the spark plug electrode   
					that may result in   
					malfunction or starting   
					difficulties.   
					WARNING!   
					Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters   
					become extremely hot during use and   
					! 
					after stopping.This also applies at idling   
					speeds. Contact can result in burns to   
					the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!   
					If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs   
					poorly while idling always check the spark plug first.   
					If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check   
					that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be   
					changed after about one month of operation or earlier if   
					necessary.   
					NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An   
					incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.

				MAINTENANCE   
					NOTE: Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts. Use of   
					Air filter   
					other brands of replacement parts can cause damage to your   
					unit or injury to the operator or others. Your warranty does   
					not cover damage or liability caused by the use of accessories   
					and/or attachments not specifically recommended by   
					HUSQVARNA.   
					The air filter should be   
					cleaned regularly removing   
					dust and dirt to avoid:   
					• 
					• 
					• 
					• 
					carburetor malfunction   
					starting problems   
					reduced engine power   
					unnecessary wear to   
					engine parts   
					Maintenance schedule   
					Below you will find some general maintenance instructions.   
					Daily maintenance   
					• Clean the exterior of the machine.   
					• 
					abnormal fuel   
					consumption   
					• Check throttle trigger and throttle trigger lockout function.   
					• Check stop switch function.   
					• Check that chain does not rotate at idling.   
					• Check that the harness is undamaged.   
					• Check that nuts and screws are sufficiently tightened.   
					• Check for fuel leaks.   
					Clean the filter after every   
					25 hours or more regularly   
					if operating conditions are   
					exceptionally dusty.   
					Cleaning the air filter   
					• Clean the area under the protective cover.   
					Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in   
					clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before   
					refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never   
					be cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the   
					filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter   
					must always be replaced.   
					Weekly maintenance   
					• Check the starter, especially cord and return spring.   
					• Clean the carburetor area.   
					• Clean the exterior of the spark plug.   
					• Remove it and check the electrode gap.   
					• Adjust it to 0,5 mm (.020"), or change the spark plug.   
					• Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and check that the air   
					intake at the starter is not clogged.   
					If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter should   
					be soaked in oil, see the section on “Oiling the air filter“.   
					• Clean the air filter.   
					• Clean or replace the muffler’s spark arrest screen (only   
					mufflers without a catalytic converter).   
					• File off any burrs on the sides of the bar.   
					Oiling the air filter   
					Always use HUSQVARNA   
					filter oil, order no. 503 47   
					73-01. 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 the 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 on the   
					machine. Never use common   
					engine oil. This would drain   
					through the filter quite   
					Monthly maintenance   
					• Clean the fuel tank.   
					• Clean the exterior of the carburetor and the space around it.   
					• Clean the fan and the space around it.   
					• Check fuel hose for cracks or other damage. Change if   
					necessary.   
					• Change fuel filter in fuel tank.   
					• Check clutch, clutch spring and clutch drum for wear.   
					Change if necessary.   
					• Check electrical wires and connections.   
					• Change the spark plug.   
					• Change the airfilter.   
					• Check and clean the muffler’s spark arrest screen if necessary   
					(only mufflers with a catalytic converter).   
					quickly and collect in the   
					bottom.
