WORKING CONDITIONS
1. Refrain from operating the blower if you are tired, ill,
or upset, or if you are under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or medication
2. To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
sound levels, hearing protection is required.
3. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with thrown objects,
always wear eye protection and
foot protection. Approved
protective goggles must comply
with standard ANSI Z87.1 in the
USA or EN 166 in EU countries.
4. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with the inhalation of
dust, use a face filter mask in dusty
conditions.
5. Wear rubber-soled shoes or shoes
with some other form of anti-slip
protection to help protect you
against falling.
6. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with objects being
drawn into rotating parts, do not
wear loose clothing, scarves, neck
chains, hair longer than shoulder
length, or other loose material.
7. Prolonged use of a blower, exposing the operator to
vibrations and cold, may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud’s phenomenon), the symptoms of
which include tingling and burning sensations
followed by loss of color and numbness in the
fingers. All factors which contribute to whitefinger
disease are not known, but cold weather, smoking
diseases or physical conditions as well as long
periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors. In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger
disease, the following precautions are strongly
recommended
a) Keep your body warm. Never use the blower
during rain.
b) Wear thick anti-vibration
gloves.
c) Take more than 5 minutes of
break in a warm place fre-
quently.
d) Maintain a firm grip at all
times, but do not squeeze the
handles with constant, exces-
sive pressure.
e) If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling of
your fingers or any other part of your body, see
a doctor before it gets worse.
8. The ignition system of your unit produces an
electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This field
may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, people with pacemaker
should consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.
WORKING CIRCUMSTANCE
1. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with exhaust fume
inhalation, do not operate in
unventilated area. The exhaust
gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
2. Avoid using the blower where
stable footing and balance are
not assured.
3. Never operate the machine in high wind, bad
weather, potentially explosive atmosphere, when
visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures.
(Our recommended use environment is below 40
degrees C (104 degrees F).)
AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
NOTE
Check and follow the local regulations as to
sound levels and hours of operations for blower.
1. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours,
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.
2. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
3. Operate power blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
4. Check your equipment before operation, especially
the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
WORKING PLAN
• To reduce the risk of health damages, avoid
excessive use and take sufficient time to rest .
FUEL
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury:
a) Handle fuel with care. It is highly
flammable.
b) Do not smoke while handing fuel.
c) Do not refuel a hot engine.
d) Do not refuel a running engine.
e) Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Always
wipe unit dry before using.
f ) Move at least 10 ft. (3 meters)
away from the fueling point before starting the
engine.
g) Always store gasoline in a container approved for
flammable liquids.
h) Make sure the unit is properly assembled and in
good operating condition.
i ) Do not use the blower near a fire,
as aiming the blower in the
direction of a flame may cause
flammable substances to ignite.

BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
• Each time before starting the engine, inspect the
entire unit to see if every part is in good order and is
securely tightened in place. If any damage is found
in the fuel line, the exhaust line, or the ignition wiring,
do not use the blower until it has been repaired.
IMPORTANT
Before starting operation, always make sure to
check if any obstacles are left inside the volute
case and net. The obstacles may cause serious
injury or damage to fan and volute case.
WARNING
Check to see if the shock-absorbers <A> have
become cracked or otherwise damaged. Note that
failing to replace these rubber and spring mounts
when they have become cracked or damaged may
cause the engine to come loose from its frame during
use, thus resulting in possible serious bodily injury.
If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contact-
ing rotating parts, stop the engine before installing
or removing attachments. Never take off the Guard
Net <B>.
Always disconnect the spark plug before performing
maintenance or accessing movable parts.
USING THE PRODUCT
WARNING
While using the product, if abnormal noise or
vibration occurs, stop the engine immediately and
contact the nearest Husqvarna servicing dealer
for assistance. Checking the fan is very important.
If the rotating fan should break up, it will lead to
serious accidents.
1. Check the work area that the blower will be used in
and remove or cover all valuables that may be
damaged by the air blast or thrown debris.
2. To reduce the risk of injury associated with thrown
objects.
a) Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely
away.
b) Use the full blower tube extension so the air
stream can work close to the ground.
c) Do not allow bystanders in work area.
d) Do not point the
blower tube in
the direction of
people or pets.
e) Always check to
be sure that no
debris has been blown onto someone else’s
property.
f) Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not
work against the wind.
3. To minimize blowing time.
a) Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
b) In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or
use a mister attachment when water is available.
c) Conserve water by using power blowers instead
of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches and gardens.
4. The blower must not be used
while on a ladder or scaffolding.
5. Never put the machine down with
the engine running unless you
have it in clear sight.
6. Never touch the spark plug or plug
cord while the engine is in
operation. Doing so may result in
being subjected to an electrical
shock.
7. Never touch the muffler, spark
plug, or other metallic parts of the
engine, or area around the engine
cover while the engine is in
operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These
metallic parts reach high
temperatures during operation
and doing so could result in
serious burns.
WARNING
The temperature of the machine
may increase after stopping the
engine. Especially never forget to
cool down the engine before refu-
eling the machine.
8. If the engine catches fire or in any other emergency
situation that requires you to free yourself from the
machine, open the buckle in the waist belt and drop
the machine backward.
9. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN
UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

FUEL
WARNING
• Gasoline is very flammable.
Avoid smoking or bringing
any flame or sparks near
fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool
before refueling the unit.
Select outdoor bare ground
for fueling and move at least
10ft (3m) away from the fuel-
ing point before starting the
engine.
• The engines are lubricated
by oil specially formulated
for air-cooled 2-cycle
gasoline engine use. If
Husqvarna oil is not
available, use an anti-
oxidant added quality oil
expressly labeled for air-
cooled 2-cycle engine use.
(JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO
EGC GRADE)
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-
stroke water-cooling type)
mixed oil.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50:OIL 1
• Exhaust emission are
controlled by the
fundamental engine
parameters and components (i.e., carburation,
ignition timing and port timing) without addition
of any major hardware or the introduction of an
inert material during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 89 RON (USA/Canada: 87AL)
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value
than specified, there is a danger that the engine
temperature may rise and an engine problem
such as piston seizing may consequently
occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce
the contamination of the air for the sake of your
health and the environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the
engine.
HOW TO MIX FUEL
IMPORTANT
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at
least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to
agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient
agitation is necessary for the engine to last long.
Note that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an
increased danger of early piston seizing due to an
abnormally lean mixture.
5. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy
identification to avoid mixing with raw gasoline or
other containers.
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1. Select bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine and let it cool for a few
minutes before refueling the unit. At that time,
be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed
gasoline in the container.
4. Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID;
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) - It will
cause severe damage to the internal engine parts
very quickly.
2. GASOHOL - It can cause deterioration of rubber
and/or plastic parts and disruption of engine
lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE - It can cause
spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston
ring sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period
of one month or more may clog the carburetor and
result in the engine failing to operate properly.
5. When storing the product for a long period of time,
clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the
composite fuel.
6. When scrapping the used mixed oil container, scrap
it only at an authorized repository site.
NOTE
For details of quality assurance, read the
description in the Warranty section carefully.
Moreover, normal wear and change in product
with no functional influence are not covered by
the warranty. Also, note that if the usage in the
instruction manual is not observed for the mixed
gasoline, etc. as described herein, it may not be
covered by the warranty.

knob slowly until you feel it engage and then give it a vigorous strong pull.
IMPORTANT
• Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
• Avoid pulling the starter rope out to its full extent and allowing
the starter rope to snap back. This will prevent premature
damage to the starter.
• Do not let a person stand near the blower or the exhaust port.
5. Once the engine is running, gradually open the choke if it was set
closed, and let the engine run at idle speed for a minute to warm it up.
NOTE
When the engine fails to start after several attempts due to
overchoking, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope.

• Do not clean the paper filter by tapping on it.
FUEL FILTER
• A clogged fuel filter may cause poor acceleration of the engine. Check
periodically to see if the filter is clogged with dirt. The filter can be taken out
of the fueling port using a small wire hook. Disconnect the filter assembly
from the fuel pipe and unhook the retainer to disassemble it. Clean the
components with gasoline.

SPARK PLUG
• The spark plug may gather carbon deposits on its firing end with reasonable
use. Remove and inspect the spark plug every 25 hours and clean the
electrodes as necessary with a wire brush. The spark gap should be
adjusted to .025 in (0.6 to 0.7mm).
• Plug manufacturers recommend replacing the plug twice a year to avoid
unexpected plug failure in a job.
REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7H.
IMPORTANT
• Note that using any spark plugs other than those designated may
result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becom-
ing overheated and damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the plug with your hands until it is
tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.
MUFFLER
WARNING
• Periodically inspect the muffler for loose fasteners, damage or corro-
sion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, do not use the blower and
have it repaired immediately.
1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent, and wipe away any
carbon buildup. Wipe away any carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent
and cylinder exhaust port at the same time.
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.
SPARK ARRESTER
• The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to prevent red hot carbon from
flying out of the exhaust outlet. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary
with a wire brush.
