INTRODUCTION
General

Layout

This Workshop Manual provides a comprehensive description
of how to trouble shoot, repair and test the chain saw. A
description of different safety measures that should be taken
during repair work is also given.

This Workshop Manual can be used in two different ways:

Safety

Repair of a particular system

NOTE!
The section dealing with safety must be read and understood by all those carrying out repair work or service on
the chain saw.

• For the repair of a particular system on the chain saw.
• For dismantling and assembly of the entire chain saw.

When a particular system on the chain saw is to be repaired,
proceed as follows:
1.

Look up the page for the system in question.

2.

Carry out the sections:
• Dismantling
• Cleaning and Inspection
• Assembly

Warning symbols can be found in this Workshop Manual and on
the chain saw. See the chapter "Symbol explanation". A new
decal must be applied as soon as possible if a warning symbol
on the chain saw has been damaged or is missing so that the
greatest possible safety can be obtained when using the chain
saw.

Target group
When producing this Workshop Manual the assumption has
been made that personnel who use it have general knowledge
in the repair and service of small engines.
The Workshop Manual must be read and understood by
personnel who will carry out repair work and service on the
chain saw. The Manual is also suitable for use when training
new employees.

Modifications
Modifications will be successively introduced on the chain saw
during production. When these modifications affect the service
and/or spare parts, separate service information will be sent out
on each occasion. This means that in time this Workshop
manual will become out of date. In order to prevent this, the
Manual should be read together with all service information
concerning the chain saw in question.

Tools

Dismantling and assembly of the
entire chain saw
Proceed as follows when the entire chain saw is to be dismantled and assembled:
1.

Look up the chapter "Starter" which deals with the Starter
and carry out the instructions set out under Dismantling.

2.

Work forward in the Manual and carry out Dismantling in
the order set out in the sections.

3.

Go back to the chapter "Starter" and carry out the instructions under Cleaning and Inspection.

4.

Work forward in the Manual and carry out Cleaning and
Inspection in the order set out in the sections.

5.

Order or take out all requisite spare parts from the stores.

6.

Look up the chapter "Oil pump" which deals with the Oil
pump and carry out the instructions set out under Assembly.

7.

Work back towards the beginning of the Manual and carry
out Assembly in the order set out in the sections.

Some sections include a Description of the actual unit in order
to increase the basic understanding.

Special tools must be used during specific steps. All service
tools are listed in the Workshop Manual. Usage is evident from
respective sections.
Always use Husqvarna’s original:
• Spare parts
• Service tools
• Accessories

Numbering
Position references to components inside the figures are
designated A, B, etc.
The position references restart in each new section.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
General instructions

Special instructions

The workshop where chain saw repairs are to be done must be
equipped with safety equipment as set out in local provisions.

The fuel used in the chain saw has the following hazardous
properties:

No one may repair the chain saw unless they have read and
understood the content of this Workshop Manual.

• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause skin irritation.
• Is highly inflammable.

This Workshop Manual contains the following boxes in relevant
places. Warning boxes are positioned before the procedures
they refer to.
WARNING!
The warning box warns of the risk of personal
injury if the instructions are not followed.

The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be fitted
before the saw is started otherwise the clutch can work loose
and cause personal injury.
Wear ear-muffs when test running.
Do not use the saw until it has been adjusted so that the chain
remains still when idling.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it has cooled.
Risk for burns.

NOTE!
This box warns of material damage if the instructions are
not followed.

Insufficient chain lubrication can result in chain breakage, which
can cause serious, even life-threatening injury.
Ensure that the spring in the starter does not fly out and cause
personal injury.
If the spring tension is activated on the starter pulley when it is
to be taken up, the spring can fly out and cause personal injury.
Check that the brake is applied when removing the pressure
spring on the chain brake. Otherwise the pressure spring can fly
out and cause personal injury.
Do not direct the compressed air jet towards the body when
using compressed air. Air can penetrate in to the blood circulation, which means mortal danger.

WARNING! Chain saws can be dangerous!
Careless or incorrect usage can result in
serious injury even death to operator or
others.

Inspection and/or maintenance should be
carried out with the engine switched off,
and with the stop switch in the "STOP"
position.

Read through the Operator Guide carefully
and understand the content before using the
chain saw.

Operating mode

Always use:
• An approved safety helmet
• Approved ear-muffs
• Protective glasses or a visor

CARBURETTOR
Description
WARNING!
The fuel used in the chain saw has the following hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause skin irritation.
• Is highly inflammable.
The drawings accompanying this description do not correspond
with the carburettor on the chain saw. They show purely the
principle for the design and function. The carburettor is based
on three sub-systems:
Metering unit
The needles and the fuel’s control functions are located in the
metering unit (A). Here the correct quantity of fuel is adjusted
for the actual speed and power output.

A

Mixing venturi
The mixing venturi (B) houses the choke, throttle valve and
diffuser jets. Here air is mixed with the fuel to give a fuel/air
mixture that can be ignited by the ignition spark.

B

Pump unit
In the pump unit (C), fuel is pumped from the fuel tank to the
metering unit. One side of the pump diaphragm is connected to
the crankcase and pulses in time with the pressure changes in
the crankcase. The other side of the diaphragm pumps the fuel.

C

English –

29

CARBURETTOR
Operation
The carburettor operates differently in the following modes:
Cold start mode
In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is fully closed. This
increases the vacuum in the carburettor and fuel is easier to
suck from all the diffuser jets (E, F and G). The throttle valve (H)
is partly open.

Idling mode
In the idling mode (H) the throttle valve is closed. Air is sucked
in through an aperture in the throttle valve and a small amount
of fuel is supplied through the diffuser jet (F).

Part throttle mode
In the part throttle mode the throttle valve (H) is partially open.
Fuel is supplied through the diffuser jets (F and G).

Full throttle mode
In the full throttle mode both valves are open and fuel is supplied through all three diffuser jets (E, F and G).

30 – English

CARBURETTOR
Primer pump
The primer pump is designed to make it easier to start the
engine when cold.
The pump fills the carburettor with fuel before an attempt is
made to start. This also prevents bubbles of vapour from
blocking the narrow fuel channels.
If the pump does not work it must be replaced. Note the way the
fuel pipes are connected in order to simplify assembly.

CARBURETTOR
Carburettor

Conditions

Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured
according to specifications that reduce harmful gases.
When you engine has consumed 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine
has been "run-in". To ensure that it runs in the best possible
way and emits as few harmful gases as possible after the
running in period, let your dealer/service workshop that has a
tachometer, adjust your carburettor so that it gives optimal
performance.

Function, Basic setting, Fine tuning
WARNING! The bar, chain and clutch cover
(chain brake) must be fitted before the saw is
started otherwise the clutch can work loose
and cause personal injury.

• The air filter should be clean and the carburettor cover fitted
when adjustments are made. Adjusting the carburettor with a
dirty air filter will give a too lean fuel mixture the next time the
air filter is cleaned. This can result in serious damage to the
engine.
• Carefully turn the L and H-needles to the centre position
between fully screwed in and fully screwed out.
• Do not attempt to adjust the needles past the stop, as this
can result in damage.
• Start the saw according to the start instruction and run warm
for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw should
be turned anticlockwise until it stops.
• Place the saw on a flat surface so that the bar points away
from you and so that the chain and bar do not make contact
with the surface or any other objects.

Low speed needle L
Function
• The carburettor controls the speed of the engine via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed in the carburettor. This air/fuel
mixture is adjustable. The adjustment must be correct to utilise
the saw’s maximum power.
• Adjustment of the carburettor means that the engine is
adapted to local conditions, e.g. the climate, altitude, petrol
and the type of 2-stroke oil.
• The carburettor is fitted with
three adjustment possibilities:

H

L

L = Low speed needle
H = High speed needle
T = Adjuster screw for idling

T
• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the
throttle opening is adjusted by the L and H-needles. Turning
the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture (less fuel)
and turning them anticlockwise gives a richer fuel mixture
(more fuel). A lean mixture gives a higher speed while a richer
mixture gives a lower speed.
• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the engine
is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher idling speed
while turning it anticlockwise gives a lower idling speed.

Basic setting and running-in
The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at the
factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting and
should be kept during the engine’s first working hours. Thereafter the carburettor should be fine tuned. Fine tuning should be
done by a qualified mechanic.
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw should be
turned anticlockwise until it stops.
Recommended idling speed: 2,800 rpm
WARNING! Contact your service workshop if
the idling speed cannot be adjusted so that
the chain does not rotate. Do not use the saw
until it is adjusted correctly or repaired.

Fine adjustment
• Fine adjustment of the carburettor should be carried out once
the engine has been "run-in". Fine tuning should be done by
a qualified mechanic. First adjust the L-needle, then the
idling speed's T-screw and finally the H-needle.

40 – English

Screw the L-needle clockwise until it stops. If the engine has
bad acceleration or uneven idling turn the L-needle anticlockwise until good acceleration and idling are obtained.
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw should
be turned anticlockwise until it stops.

Fine tuning idling T
Adjustment of the idling speed is done with the screw marked T.
If adjustment is necessary, screw in (clockwise) the idling screw
T with the engine running until the chain starts to rotate. Now
open (anticlockwise) until the chain is at a standstill. A correctly
set idling speed is when the engine runs smoothly in all positions
with a good margin to the speed when the chain starts to rotate.
WARNING! Contact your service workshop if
the idling speed cannot be adjusted so that
the chain does not rotate. Do not use the saw
until it is adjusted correctly or repaired.

High speed needle H
The high speed needle H
affects the saw's power and
speed. A too lean high speed
needle setting (H-needle
screwed in too far) gives over
revving on the saw resulting in
damage to the engine. Turn the
H-needle anticlockwise until it
stops. If the engine runs
unevenly turn the H-needle
clockwise until the engine
xruns evenly.

H

The H-needle is set correctly when the saw "splatters" a little. If
the saw "screams" the setting is too lean. If the muffler smokes
heavily, at the same time as the saw splatters a great deal the
setting is too rich. Turn the H-needle clockwise until you find the
setting that sounds right.
NOTE! Use a mechanic with access to a tachometer to
make an optimal setting.

Correctly adjusted carburettor
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the saw accelerates
without hesitation and that it 4-strokes a little at full throttle. In
addition the chain should not rotate when idling. An L-needle
adjusted too lean can cause starting difficulties and bad acceleration. An H-needle adjusted too lean gives the saw lower
power = "less strength", bad acceleration and/or damage to the
engine. A too rich setting of the L and H-needles gives acceleration problems or a too low working speed.

CRANKSHAFT, PISTON AND CYLINDER
Removing the decompression valve
Disconnect the pipe from the nipples (B and C). Use a ring
spanner (15 mm) to remove the valve from the cylinder. Check
that the valve can be pressed in easily and springs back out
again. If the valve is stiff it should be soaked in petrol for a while
to loosen the particles of soot. It can then be blown clean with
compressed air.

C

B

Use a pressure tester to check that the non-return valve is
working correctly. Air should only pass through in the direction
of the arrow, see diagram. If the non-return valve is defective,
replace it.

Fitting the decompression valve
Screw the valve into the cylinder using a ring spanner to a
torque of 12–14 Nm. Then use a spanner to turn the brass part
of the valve to roughly the position shown in the diagram, so
that the pipe can be connected in the correct position.
The brass part is not threaded and can therefore be turned in
either direction.

Pressure testing
The following parts must be removed to pressure test the
crankcase and cylinder:
•

Carburettor. See the chapter "Carburettor".

•

Muffler. See the chapter "Safety equipment".

•

Starter. See the chapter "Starter".

•

Flywheel. See the chapter "Ignition system".

Carry out pressure testing as follows:
1. Fit the cover plate 502 52 01-01 on the inlet manifold. Now
connect tool 502 50 38-01 to the cover plate.
2. Fit the cover plate 502 71 39-01 on the exhaust port.

3. Pull off the hose to the impulse channel and seal the nipple.
4. Pump up the pressure to 80 kPa (0.8 bar).
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. The pressure must not fall below 60 kPa (0.6 bar).
7. Leakage can occur on the crankshaft’s sealing rings.
8. Dismantle the cover plates.
Assemble the following parts:
•

Flywheel. See the chapter "Ignition system".

•

Starter. See the chapter "Starter".

•
