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 in existence, 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 the building and construction industry. Husqvarna′s aim is also to be at the front edge for
ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection.That is the reason why we have developed many different
features to add to 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
operator′s manual as a valuable document. By following its content (usage, service, maintenance, etc), the life span and
the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that the operator′s manual
is passed on to the buyer.
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
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator.The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting
attachment.
Check that the throttle trigger and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked.
Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
WARNING! Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved guard.
!
See the chapter on Technical data. If an
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can
cause serious personal injury.
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the
machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and
check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a
standstill.If the cutting attachment rotates with the throttle
in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must
be checked. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting
attachment increases the level of vibration. See
instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine′s handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is
undamaged and securely attached.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
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.These 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.
!
Muffler
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE!
Make sure that the spark arrestor is screwed in place
correctly.
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!
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.

the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional
cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a
round file. The top edges must be filed down by the
same amount for all the teeth.
•
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and knifes
using a single-cut flat file.
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of
the blade.
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or
!
damaged in any other way. Never attempt
to straighten a twisted blade so that it
can be reused. Only use original blades
of the specified type.
Sharpening the saw blade
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions.
A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working
efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and
brush cutter.
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer cords. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
•
•
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing
using a cord the engine must throw out the cord
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the
resistance of the grass being cleared.
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of
the same diameter.
•
•
Make sure that the blade is well supported when you
file it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
•
•
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact.This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in
water for a couple of days before use. This will make
the cord tougher so that it lasts longer.
The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right
and those in between to the left. If the blade has been

2
If you have spilled 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 spilled 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. In the event of
leakage, contact your service agent.
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 open flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
Ethanol blended fuel, E10 may be used (max 10%
ethanol blend). Using ethanol blends higher than E10 will
create lean running condition which can cause engine
damage.
•
•
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
•
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA
two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for
our air-cooled two-stroke engines.
•
•
Secure the machine during transport.
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.
•
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated
TCW).
•
•
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
WARNING!Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may
jeopardise function and decrease the life time of
catalytic converters.
!
•
Mixing ratio
Fuel
1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil.
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke
engine and must always be run using a mixture of petrol
and two-stroke 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.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting
Starting and stopping
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at
the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most
common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp
corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while
sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull
teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
WARNING! The complete clutch cover
and shaft must be fitted before the
machine is started, otherwise the clutch
can come loose and cause personal
injury.
!
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area and source before
starting. Place the machine on a flat
surface. Ensure the cutting attachment
cannot come into contact with any
object.
Make sure no unauthorised persons are
in the working area. Otherwise there is a
risk of serious personal injury.The safety
distance is 15 meters.
•
Check that the support flange is not cracked due to
fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard
the support flange if it is cracked.
Starting
Air purge: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The
nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm.
The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50
Nm.
•
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are
not damaged or cracked.Replace the trimmer head or
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or
are cracked.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
•
•
Never use the machine without a guard nor with a
defective guard.
WARNING! When the engine is started
with the choke in either the choke or
start throttle positions the cutting
attachment will start to rotate
immediately.

Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension.
General working instructions
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position
yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place
the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to
lose control. Both situations can cause serious
personal injury.
IMPORTANT!
This section describes the basic safety precautions for
working with brush cutters and trimmers.
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.
You must understand the difference between forestry
clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.
Basic safety rules

Keep a good balance and a firm foothold. Do not
overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the
machine on the right side of your body. Keep all parts
of your body away from the hot surfaces. Keep all
parts of your body away from the rotating cutting
attachment.

Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
•
To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects
that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
•
CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings
added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling
direction, etc.
Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.

Working methods
The ABC of clearing
•
•
•
•
•
Always use the correct equipment.
WARNING! Machines fitted with saw
blades or grass blades can be thrown
violently to the side when the blade
comes into contact with a fixed object.
This is called blade thrust. A blade thrust
can be violent enough to cause the
machine and/or operator to be propelled
in any direction, and possibly lose
control of the machine. Blade thrust can
occur without warning if the machine
snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is
more likely to occur in areas where it is
difficult to see the material being cut.
Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.
Follow the safety precautions.
!
Organise your work carefully.
Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the
blade.
•
•
•
Always use sharp blades.
Avoid stones.
Control the felling direction (take advantage of the
wind).
WARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine
is running or the cutting equipment is
rotating, as this can result in serious
injury.
Avoid cutting with the area of the blade
between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock
positions. Because of the speed of
rotation of the blade, blade thrust can
occur if you attempt to cut thick stems
with this area of the blade.
!
Stop the engine and cutting equipment
before you remove material that has
wound around the blade shaft as
otherwise there is a risk of injury.The
bevel gear can get hot during use and
may remain so for a while afterwards.
You could get burnt if you touch it.
•
Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the
type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there
are stones, hollows etc.
•
•
Start at whichever end of the area is easiest, and clear
an open space from which to work.
Work systematically to and fro across the area,
clearing a width of around 4-5 m on each pass. This
exploits the full reach of the machine in both directions
and gives the operator a convenient and varied
working area to work in.
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attachment
guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be
thrown up into the eyes causing
blindness or serious injury.
!
Keep unauthorised persons at a
distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the
safety zone of 15 metres. Stop the
machine immediately if anyone
approaches. Never swing the machine
around without first checking behind you
to make sure no-one is within the safety
zone.
•
•
Clear a strip around 75 m long. Move your fuel can as
work progresses.
WARNING! Sometimes branches or
grass get caught between the guard and
cutting attachment. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
!
On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It
is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work
up and down it.
•
You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over
ditches or other obstacles on the ground.You should
also orient the strip to take advantage of wind

pushed to the left.Tilt the blade and bring it diagonally
up to the right. Cut with the area of the blade between
3 o’clock and 5 o’clock so that the direction of rotation
of the blade pushes the bottom of the tree to the left.
Forestry clearing using a saw blade
•
To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be
pulled backwards. Pull the blade backwards with a
quick, firm movement.
•
The risk of blade thrust increases with increasing
stem size.You should therefore avoid cutting with the
area of the blade between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
•
Large stems must be cut from two sides. First
determine which direction the stem will fall. Make the
first cut on the felling side.Then finish cutting the stem
from the other side. Adjust the cutting pressure to
match the size of the stem and the hardness of the
wood.Small stems require more pressure, while large
stems require less pressure.
•
To fell to the left, the bottom of the tree should be
pushed to the right. Tilt the blade and bring it
diagonally down to the right, exerting firm pressure.At
the same time push the stem using the blade guard.
Cut with the area of the blade between 3 o’clock and
5 o’clock. Apply full throttle before advancing the
blade.
•
•
If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your walking
pace to suit.
If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the machine
free. If you do this the blade, bevel gear, shaft or
handlebar may be damaged. Release the handles,
grip the shaft with both hands and gently pull the
machine free.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
•
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet
apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand
firmly again.
Brush cutting with a saw blade
•
•
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
•
Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work with a
sawing movement, swinging sideways.
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade
by following these instructions:
•
•
Try to cut several stems in a single sawing movement.
With groups of hardwood stems, first clear around the
group. Start by cutting the stems high up around the
outside of the group to avoid jamming. Then cut the
stems to the required height. Now try to reach in with
the blade and cut from the centre of the group. If it is
still difficult to gain access, cut the stems high up and
let them fall. This will reduce the risk of jamming.
1Always work at full throttle.
2Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
•
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the
cut material.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming
•
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let
the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord
into the area to be cut.
•
•
The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up
against walls, fences, trees and borders. However it
can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,
and damage fence posts.
Grass clearing using a grass blade
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
•
•
•
Grass blades and grass knifes must not be used on
woody stems.
Clearing
• The clearing technique removes all unwanted
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the
cord.
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is
the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-
right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the
blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
•
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass,
the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to
collect, e.g. by raking.
•
The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more
often when working against stones, brick, concrete,
metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with
trees and wooden fences.
English – 23
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
WORKING TECHNIQUES
•
When trimming and clearing, you should use less than
full throttle (80%) so that the cord lasts longer and to
reduce the wear on the trimmer head.
Cutting
• The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord
parallel to the ground when cutting.Avoid pressing the
trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the
lawn and damage the tool.
•
Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into
contact with the ground during normal cutting.
Constant contact of this type can cause damage and
wear to the trimmer head.
Sweeping
• The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for
quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to
and above the area to be swept and move the tool side
to side.
•
When cutting and sweeping you should use full
throttle to obtain the best results.
IMPORTANT!
To avoid unbalance and vibrations in handles trimmer
head cover need to be cleaned every time cord is
refilled. In addition, check other part of the head if
needed to be cleaned.

MAINTENANCE
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.
Carburettor
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.
Adjustment of the idle speed
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air
filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.
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.
Function
•
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the
carburettor.The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct
adjustment is essential to get the best performance
from the machine.
•
•
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.
The carburettor has three adjustment controls:
L = Low speed jet
Recommended idle speed: See the Technical data
section.
H = High speed jet
T = Idle adjustment screw
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
T
adjusted so that the cutting attachment
!
stops, contact your dealer/service
workshop. Do not use the machine until
it has been correctly adjusted or
repaired.
H
L
Muffler
•
•
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.
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.
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.
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle
speed. If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a
higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a
lower idle speed.
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.

MAINTENANCE
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
The cooling system consists of:
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. 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. 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.

damage to the piston and cylinder.
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
•
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
•
A dirty air filter.
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug

MAINTENANCE
Bevel gear
Air filter
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before using the machine you
should check that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters
full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease.
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
•
•
•
•
•
Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
Excessive fuel consumption.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to
be changed except if repairs are carried out.
Two-piece shaft (525RK)
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
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.
Cleaning the air filter
Close the choke control by setting the choke into a choke
position.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Clean also the inside of the
filter cover by using air or a brush. Ensure that the filter is
dry before refitting it.
Remove the Felt filter from the filter holder and gently
brush debris from the filter. Check the rubber sealing
surface. Change the filter on the rubber seal if damaged.
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. Damaged, very dirty, or fuel-
soaked air filter must always be replaced.
