SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal protective equipment
IMPORTANT! 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.

WARNING! Listen out for warning signals or
shouts when you are wearing hearing
protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.

HELMET
A helmet should be worn if the trees being cleared are taller
than 2 m.

HEARING PROTECTION
Wear hearing protection that provides adequate noise
reduction.

CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and avoid loose clothing
that can catch on twigs and branches. Always wear heavy,
long pants. Do not wear jewellery, shorts sandals or go
barefoot. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
FIRST AID KIT
Always have a first aid kit nearby.

Machine′s safety equipment
This section describes the machine′s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.

WARNING! Never use a machine that has
faulty safety equipment! Carry out the
inspection, maintenance and service
routines listed in this section.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting attachment guard

Quick release

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.

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. See instructions under the heading
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw.

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.

Vibration damping system

Muffler
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.

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.

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.

Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine′s handle unit.

For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing the machine’s safety equipment.

!
!

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.

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!

WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Bear in mind that: Engine
exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. For this reason you should not
start or run the machine indoors, or
anywhere that is poorly ventilated.

Checking, maintaining and servicing
the machine′s safety equipment
IMPORTANT!
All servicing and repair work on the machine requires
special training. This is especially true of the machine′s
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.

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!

and securely attached.

Muffler

•

Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

•

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.

•

If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark
arrestor mesh then it should be cleaned regularly. A
blocked mesh causes the engine to overheat, which can
lead to serious damage. Never use a muffler with a
defective spark arrestor mesh.

Stop switch
•

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Cutting attachment guard

•

Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.

•

Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the
risk of accidents.

•

Tighten the nut using the socket spanner. 35-50 Nm (3.55 kpm).
CAUTION! The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not
be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should
offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be
replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.

Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions
and use the recommended blade setting tool. An
incorrectly set blade increases the risk of jamming and
kickback.

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.

Cutting equipment
IMPORTANT!

Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.

This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.

Quick release

Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check
the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord
diameter.

Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once
the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the
harness quick release works correctly.

Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our
recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the
blade packaging.
Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions
and use the recommended file gauge.

Locking nut

WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
blade increases the risk of kickback.

Sharpening the saw blade
•

When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the
direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove
it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand
thread.)

8 – English

•

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
clearing saw.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•

•

Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file
it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.

The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right and
those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily
pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress 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.

•

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 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. This will make the line tougher so that
it lasts longer.
IMPORTANT! Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound
tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine
will generate harmful vibration.

!
•

Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.

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.

Sharpening grass cutters and grass
blades

•

See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions.

•

Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat file.

•

Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the
blade.

Trimmer head
•

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.

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.

If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant
and may even cause skin changes.

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.

The complete clutch cover and shaft must be fitted before
the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come
loose and cause personal injury.

•

containers intended for this purpose.

•

When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•

The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage.

WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and
inhaling fumes.

General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes the basic safety precautions for
working with clearing saws 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.

Adjusting the harness and clearing saw

WARNING! When using a clearing saw it
must always be hooked securely to the
harness. Otherwise you will be unable to
control the clearing saw safely and this can
result in injury to yourself or others. Never
use a harness with a defective quick release.
Always use a double harness that
distributes the load across both shoulders.

Safety release
At the front is an easily accessible, quick release. Use this if
the engine catches fire or in any other emergency situation
that requires you to free yourself from the machine and
harness.

You must understand the difference between forestry
clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.

Basic safety rules
Spreading the load on your shoulders
1

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.

Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit
the transport guard before carrying or transporting the
equipment any distance.

Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.

A well-adjusted harness and machine makes work much
easier. Adjust the harness for the best working position.
Tension the side straps so that the weight is evenly distributed
across both shoulders.

Correct height
Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.

English

– 11

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct balance

Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the ground. If you
use a saw blade it should balance about 10 cm above the
ground to prevent contact with stones and the like. Adjust the
position of the support hook to balance the clearing saw
correctly.

WARNING! 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 kickback can occur if you
attempt to cut thick stems with this area of
the blade.

Working methods

Basic working techniques
•

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.

Terms
•

Use a saw blade for cutting woody growth with thin stems.

•

Use a grass cutter or grass blade for clearing grass.

•

Use a trimmer head or plastic blades for lighter clearing
work, for example along verges or around trees.

WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.

The ABC of clearing
Always use the correct equipment.
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.

12 – English

•

Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the
type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there are
stones, hollows etc.

•

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.

•

The strip should be planned so that you avoid going over
ditches or other obstacles on the ground.

Brush cutting with a saw blade

•

Cut through thin stems and brush. Work with a sawing
movement, swinging sideways.

•

Avoid cutting with the area of the blade between the 12
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions.

WARNING! 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grass clearing using a grass blade

!
•

Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.

•

A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.

•

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.

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear 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
m. 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.

Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming

•

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.

•

Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.
Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly
again.

•

Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is
used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.

•

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.

•

Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.

Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by
following these instructions:
1

Always work at full throttle.

Avoid 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.

Clearing

•

The clearing technique removes all unwanted 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 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.

•

When trimming and clearing you should use less than full
throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the
wear on the trimmer head.

WARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine is
running or the blade is rotating, as this can
result in serious injury.
Stop the engine and blade 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.

English

– 13

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 to and fro.

•

When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to
obtain the best results.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel

When the oil level is low, top up using engine oil to the edge
of the oil refill hole.

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a four-stroke
engine. Make sure that there is always sufficient oil in the oil
tank.

WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use. This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when working near flammable
substances and/or vapours.

Gasoline
•

Use high-grade unleaded petrol of at least 86 octane.

•

If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.

Engine oil

Only use recommended engine oil.

Fuelling

WARNING! Taking the following precautions,
will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.

Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too low oil
level can cause serious damage to the engine.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

When the machine is new the engine oil should be changed
after the first month or after 10 hours of operation.

Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.

•

For the best result and function use HUSQVARNA engin
oil.

•

When HUSQVARNA engine oil is not available another
high grade engine oil can be used. Contact your dealer
when selecting oil. Mineral oil or semisynthetic oil should
be used. In general SAE 10W-40 is recommended.

•

Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines.

Oil level
The machine must be switched off and placed on a flat
surface when you check the oil level.
Unscrew the oil cap, clean the dipstick located on the cap and
insert the cap again without screwing it down. Check the oil
level on the dipstick.

20 – English

Clean around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and oil tank
regularly. The fuel filter should be changed at least once a
year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling
position before starting.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting

•

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.

Starting and stopping

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 before starting. Place the
machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting
attachment cannot come into contact with
any object.

•

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.

Make sure no unauthorised persons are in
the working area, otherwise there is a risk of
serious personal injury. The safety distance
is 15 metres.

Cold engine
Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.

•

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.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.

•

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked.
Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is
cracked.
Primer bulb: Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.

•

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.

•

Never use the machine without a guard nor with a
defective guard.

•

All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged before
you start the machine.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Warm engine

Starting

Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.
Choke: Put the choke in working position.

!
Primer bulb: Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.

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.

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left
hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle,
slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel
some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and
powerfully pull the cord. Never wrap the starter cord around
your hand
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the
engine starts. return choke control to run position and apply
full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage from the
start setting.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended.
This can damage the machine.

For throttle handles with a start throttle
lock:
Set the throttle to the start position by first pressing the throttle
lock and the throttle trigger, then pressing the start throttle
button (A). Then release the throttle lock and the throttle
trigger, followed by the start throttle button. The throttle
function is now activated. To return the engine to idle, press
the throttle lock and throttle trigger again.

Stopping

Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.

PART THROTTLE FUNCTION
It is possible to set the engine for part throttle operation using
the dial on the side of the throttle handle. Turn the dial up to
decrease the part throttle rpm. Turn the dial down to increase
the part throttle rpm. When you have set the part throttle rpm
you will feel increased resistance when you press the throttle
trigger. This increased resistance makes it easier to maintain
a constant part throttle setting. To obtain full throttle, press the
throttle trigger a little harder so that it goes past the part
throttle setting. As soon as you release the throttle trigger the
engine will return to idle. The part throttle function does not
lock the engine at a given rpm, it is simply a brake that makes
it easier to maintain the engine at a given rpm.

22 – English

MAINTENANCE
Carburettor

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.

The muffler on your machine is equipped with a spark arrestor
mesh, this should be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious
damage.

Function
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
•

•

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 involves adapting the engine to
suit local conditions, e.g. climate, altitude and the petrol.

Basic setting
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at
the factory.
The carburettor should be adjusted to prevent damaging the
engine when the machine is always used at altitudes over
1500 metres above seal level.
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor,
contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a
revolution counter at their disposal.

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.

WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
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.

Muffler

The cooling system consists of:
1

Air intake on the starter.

Fins on the flywheel.

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.

Cooling fins on the cylinder.

Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

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.

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:
•

Incorrect carburettor adjustment.

•

A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in operating problems and starting
difficulties.

English

– 23

MAINTENANCE
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 0,6-0,7 mm. The spark plug should
be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if
necessary.

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.

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:
•

Carburettor malfunctions

•

Starting problems

•

Loss of engine power

•

Unnecessary wear to engine parts

•

Excessive fuel consumption.

Bevel gear

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.

Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions
are exceptionally dusty.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be
changed except if repairs are carried out.

Cleaning the air filter
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.
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.

24 – English

CAUTION! Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts. Use
of 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.

Sharpening grass cutters and grass
blades

MAINTENANCE
•

See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions.

•

Sharpen blades and cutters 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

WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
blade increases the risk of kickback.

•

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
clearing saw.

•

Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file
it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
