Before using your new chain saw
cRead the Operator’s Manual carefully.
Check the assembly and adjustment of the cutting equipment (page 6).
Start the saw and check the carburetor adjustment (page 16-17).
s Do not start sawing until a sufficient amount of chain oil has reached the chain (page 7,12-13).

●

IMPORTANT! A too lean carburetor adjustment increases the risk of serious engine malfunction.
Insufficient air filter maintenance increases the deposits on the spark plug. This can cause starting
difficulties. Incorrectly adjusted chain increases the wear and damage on the bar, the drive
sprocket and the chain.
You will find one or more of the following warning labels on the saw in black printing on yellow background.

Safety Precautions

(ANSI B 175.1-1985 Appendix D)
Safety Precautions
for Chain Saw Users
D 1. Kickback Safety Precautions
~

WARNING!: KICKBACK may occur when the nose
or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when
the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in
the cut.

DTip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast
reverse REACTION, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator.
DPinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
DEither of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built
into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
(1) With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden
surprise contributes to accidents.
(2) Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands,
the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand
on the front handle, when the engine is running.
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you
reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Don’t let go.
(3) Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is
free from obstacles. Do not let the nose of the guide
bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction
that could be hit while you are operating the saw.
(4) Cut at high engine speeds.
(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
(6) Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
(7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer or the equivalent.

D 2. Other Safety Precautions
(I) Do notoperatea chain saw with one hand! Serious

mju to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
com7 inations of these persons may result from onehanded operation. A chain saw is intended for twohanded use.
(2) Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
(3) Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing; protective

Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain
saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain
saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the
guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler
away from your body.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the throttle control trigger is released.
Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw
down.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for springback so that you will not be struck when
the tension in the wood fibers is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
have been specifically trained to do so.
Do not operate a chain saw above shoulder height.
All chain saw service, other than the items listed in
the operator’s/owner’s safety and maintenance
instructions, should be performed by competent
chain saw service personnel. (For example, if
improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if
an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the
fly-wheel could occur and subsequently cause the
flywheel to burst.)
When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket and in the
groove on the bar. Begin on the top side of the bar. Make sure
that the edges on the cutting links are facing forward on the top
side of the bar.

.—J.—.—

Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain adjuster
pin in the hole on the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain
fit correctly on the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the
groove on the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger tight.
Tension the chain by using the combination wrench. Turn the
chain adjuster screw clockwise. The chain should be tensioned
until it fits snugly on the underside of the bar.

I
\

Hold up the tip of the bar and tighten the chain. The chain is
correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of tt
bar, but it can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip
and tighten the bar nuts with the combination wrench.
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked
frequently until the chain is run-in.
Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
gives good cutting performance and long lifetime.

Fuelmixand chainoil
~ WARNING! The chain saw is equipped with a two-stroke

engine. Always run the saw with fuel, which is mixed with oil.
Provide for good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.

Fuel
Always use a regular unleaded gasoline with minimum
octane number of 90.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

Two-stroke oil

. For the best performance, use Husqvarna two-stroke oil, which
is especially developed for chain saws.
Mixing ratio 1:50 (2 0/0),
If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available, you may use
another two-stroke oil of good quality.
Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).
In countries where no two-stroke oil is available, motor oil SAE
30 can be used. Mixing ratio 1:25 (4%).
Never use multi-grade oil (1OW-30) or waste oil.
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container.
Always start by filling half the amount of fuel, which is to be
used, Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture, Add the remaining amount of fuel,
Mix (shake) the fuel mix thoroughly before filling the fuel tank
on the saw.

Chain oil
The chain lubrication svstem is automatic, Alwavs use s~ecial
chain oil with oood adhesive characteristics. ‘
. In countries w;ere no special chain oil is available, gear box oil
EP 90 can be used,
. Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the
bar and the chain.
. It is important to use oil of the right viscosity according to the a
temperature.
In temperatures below OOC(320F)some oils become less
viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage
to the oil pump components.
Contact your servicing dealer when choosing chain oil.

Chainbrake
7

The saw is equipped with a chain brake. The brake is designed to
stop the chain immediately in the event of a kick-back. The brake
activates when the hand guard is pushed forward (1).
If the brake is already activated, it is disengaged by pulling the
front hand guard back towards the front handle (2).
When working with the saw, the chain brake must be disengaged.
Use the chain brake as a “parking brake”, if you move the saw
with the engine running.

\
.
.
R

/==%

Inertia activated chain brake
The inertia activated chain brake is activated when the front hand
guard is pushed forward, either manually or by a weight in the
hand guard.
The advantage of the inertia brake is that the brake is activated
after kick-back, even if the user’s left hand does not contact the
hand guard, i.e., also when the saw is in the felling position.

Controland maintenanceof the chain brake
1

Braking function control:
The chain brake must be checked several times daily. Place the
saw on firm ground. Hold the handles with both hands and apply
full throttle, Activate the chain brake by turning your left wrist
against the hand guard, without releasing your grip around the
front handle. The chain should stop immediately (illustr.).

Inertia activating function control
The chain brake must be checked several times daily. Hold the
chain saw approx. 35 cm (14“) above a trunk or other firm object
(illustr,).
CAUTION! The engine must be shut off.
Release your grip around the front handle and let the saw by its
own weight rotate around the rear handle. When the tip of the bar
hits the trunk, the brake should activate,

Maintenance:
~

WARNING! Dirt and wear affect the function of the brake.
Follow all maintenance instructions, carefully. If anything is
incorrect with your chain brake contact your servicing dealer.

With the engine shut off, the hand guard can be moved back and
forth, to ensure that the mechanism works freely and also that the
brake activates. If necessary, clean the brake from resin and
chips. Lubricate the mechanism and bearing surfaces with oil.
Check that the brake band is at least 0.65 mm (.026 in) thick, at
the most worn part.
\

Maintenanceand function
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned from dust and dirt in order
to avoid:
Carburetor malfunctions
Starting problems
Engine power reduction
Unnecessary wear on the engine parts
. Abnormal fuel consumption
Harmful emissions
Clean the air filter daily or more often if the air is exceptionally
dusty in the working area. Disassemble the air filter by removing
the cylinder cover and unscrew the filter. When reassembling,
make sure that the filter is tight against the filter holder. Clean the
filter by brushing or shaking it. A more thorough cleaning of the
filter is obtained by washing it in water and soap.
Do not use gasoline or any other flammable liquid to clean the
filter; doing so can create a fire hazard and produce harmful
evaporative emissions.
An air filter, which is used for some time, cannot be cleaned
completely. Therefore it must be replaced by a new one, with
regular intervals.
IMPORTANT! A damaged air filter must always be replaced.
●
●

●

Muffler
The muffler is designed in order 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. Some mufflers are
equipped with a special screen. If your saw has this type of
muffler, you should clean the screen at least once a week. This is
done with a wire brush. The screen must be replaced, if
damaged. The saw will be overheated, if the screen is clogged.
This results in damage on the cylinder and the piston.
CAUTION! Never use a saw with a clogged or defective muffler.

0,5 mm

Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
An incorrect carburetor setting.
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline).
A dirty air filter,
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in malfunction and starting difficulties. If the
engine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at
idling speed, always check the spark plug first. If the spark
plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Readjust if
necessary. The correct gap is 0.5 mm (.020”). The spark plug
should be replaced yearly, or earlier if the electrodes are badly
eroded.
●
●

●

ORTANT! Always use the recommended spark plug type,
ng type may ruin the piston/cylinder.

Clutch drum/chain sprocket
The clutch drum is equipped with one of the following chain
SDrOCketS:

●’ Spur sprocket (A) (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum)
Rim sprocket (B) (exchangeable)
Both versions have buit-in neeldle bearing at the drive shaft,
whitch has to be greased regularly (once a week).

Chain maintenance
Recommended cutting equipment for Husqvarna chain saws

Chain maintenance safety

Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for saws below 3.8 cu. in.(62,3 cc)
cylinder displacement. The combinations of powerhead, bar and chain have been investigated
in accordance with the kickback requirements of ANSI B 175.1.
The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose
sprocket or the corresponding maximum nose radius of a solid bar.
The following list is the chain saw manufacturers recommendations. There may be other
combinations available, which will also achieve kickback protection.
As we are listing the maximum guide bar nose radius, you may use a guide bar with smaller
nose radius then in our list. For guide bars of the same length, all sprocket-nose guide bars of
the same pich and having the same number of sprocket teeth may be considered to have
equivalent kickback energy. A hard nose bar having the same length and nose radius as a
sprocket-nose bar may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy then the
sprocket-nose bar.
Low kickback saw chain is a chain which has met the kickback performance requirements of
ANSI B 175.1 safety requirements for gasoline-powered chainsaws when tested on the
representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 cu.in. specified in ANSI B 175.1 These are
marked with an asterix X in the table below. We recommend that you as replacement use the
listed chains or “Low kickback saw chains” which are available at your dealer.
NOTE: The second number in the Oregon part number indicate the thickness of the drive link.
You are free to choose between 0.050” and 0.058” drive link for the corresponding bar.
HUSQVARNA H30 and OREGON 33 indicates 0.050’’/1.3 mm
OREGON 34 indicates 0,058”/1.5 mm

For the personal safety, it is
of great importance, that the
bar and chain combinations
of so called low kick type are
used and that the cutting
equipment is maintained
correctly.

Chain tension
A too loose chain may jump off the bar and cause injuries, This is
also the most frequent cause of chain problems. A too loose
chain can also ruin the chain, bar and drive sprocket.
Chain tension should be checked frequently during work and
corrected if necessary.
~

WARNING! Make sure that the engine is shut off.

Tension the chain as tight as possible, but so it can still be
pulled easily along the bar by hand.
CAUTION! Check after tensioning by pulling the chain in the
normal direction of rotation. Always wear gloves to protect your
Ihands from injury.
L

Chain lubrication

Fill up the chain oil tank with chain oil each time you fuel, Never
run the chain dry. Insufficient oil may cause friction which leads to
cracks in the links. Waste oil must be avoided for the same
reason. Always use a proper chain oil which is off the non-fling
type and stands the pressure of the cutters. Bars provided with
nose sprockets are to be lubricated when refilling. Clean bar
groove and oil filling hole regularly,

Checking the lubrication
Direct the nose of the guide bar against a bright object, at a
distance of abt 20 cm (8”). Run the saw at 3/4 full throttle for l/21 minute and check that there is oil sprayed on the object.

Check daily for:
“Cracks in rivets and links of the chain.
oExcessive wear on side links and cutters or stiffness in the
chain.
A cutter should never be filed to less than 5/32 inch or 4 mm.
Correct depth gauge setting.
NOTE! Change the drive sprocket each time you fit a new chain.

Never cut with a dull saw chain. A chain which does not cut
unless you press it hard against the wood is damaged, dull or
incorrectly filed. In order to file the chain correctly you need:
round file (A), file gauge (B), flat file (C) and a depth gauge tool
(D). By using the correct file size (see the table) and an file gauge
with a marked filing angle, it is easier to receive a good result.
NOTE! Check that the drive link does no?have a too large play in
the bar groove. This can give an incorrect filing result. Always file
from the inside of the teeth and out. Then turn the saw and file on
the other side. In order to receive a straight cut in the wood, all
the teeth should be filed to the same length. If the chain is filed
regularly, only a few strokes are needed on every saw tooth. For
the best performance, every chain type has different cutting
angles, file sizes and filing depth (see the table).

WARNING! If a too small filing size is used or the file is kept
too deep in the cutting tooth, the chain will be dangerously
aaoressive.
This means that kick-back can occur.

Maintenance
Tools and materials
The tools and material shown are absolutely essential for routine
everyday safe operation and maintenance of a chain saw.
T-wrench (A) – This type of wrench or its equivalent should always
be carried with your chain saw. The wrench is needed to adjust
chain tension which must be correctly adjusted for safer cutting.
Small screwdriver (B) – Used for carburetor adjustment.
Files - You need one round file (C) with file gauge (D) to sharpen
the cutting teeth of the chain and one flat file (E) and depth gauge
tool (F) for filing the depth gauge.

During winter time, powder snow and cold weather can cause
running problems, such as:
Too low engine temperature.
Icing on the air filter and carburetor.
Air filter “MEDIUM MESH” must be used,
