SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal protective eqipment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Incorrect or careless use of a hedge trimmer can
turn it into a dangerous tool that can cause
serious or even fatal injury. It is extremely
important that you read and understand this
manual.
When using a hedge trimmer, protective
equipment approved by the appropriate
authorities must be used. Personal protective
equipment does not eliminate the risk of
accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an
injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer
for help when choosing protective equipment.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when
necessary, e.g., when
inspecting, cleaning or
assembling cutting equip-
ment.
EAR PROTECTION
Ear protection ot}'ering
sufficient dampening effect
should be used.
EYE PROTECTION
Blows from branches or
objects thrown by the
moving blades can damage
the eyes.
BOOTS
Use anti-slip and stable
boots.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a
strong fabric and avoid loose
clothing that can catch on
shrubs and branches.
FIRST AID KIT
A first aid kit should be dose
at hand.
The machine's protective equipment
This section describes the hedge trimmer's protective equip-
ment, its function and how checks and maintenance are
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter
"What is what" to locate where this equipment is positioned on
your machine.)
1. Throttle trigger lock
The throttle trigger lock is
designed to prevent the
throttle from accidentally
being engaged. The trigger
(A) can only be pressed in, if
the lock (B) is held in (= the
operator holding the
handle). When the grip on
the handle is released the
throttle and the throttle
trigger lock return to their
original positions. This
takes place via two indepen-
dent return spring systems.
This means that the throttle
is automatically locked in
the idling position.
2. Stop switch
The stop switch (C) should
be used to stop the engine.
3. Hand guard
The hand guard (D)
prevents the operator's
hands from coming into
contact with the blades. For
example, if the operator
should loose his grip on the
front handle.

4- English
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Vibration damping system
The hedge trimmer is
equipped with a vibration
damping system, which is
designed to give asvibra-
tion-free and comfortable
use as possible.
The hedge trimmer's
vibration damping system
reduces the transfer of
vibrations between the
engine unit/blades and the
hedge trimmer's handles.
The engine body including
the blades is suspended on
the handlebar system via a
four springs.
_!_ _.............................;_ .........
Muffler
The muffler is designed to
give the lowest possible noise
level and to direct the
engine's exhaust fumes away
from the operator. Muffler
fitted with catalytic con-
verter is also designed to
reduce harmful exhaust
components.
In countries that have a
warm and dry climate the
risk of fire is obvious. We
have therefore fitted certain
mufflers with a spark arrest
screen. Make sure that your
muffler is fittedwith this kind of screen. It is extremely
important that the instructions for checking, maintaining and
servicing the muffler are followed. (See the section '_bntrol,
maintenance and se_ice of the machine'ssafetyequipment")
6. Blade guard
The blade guard (A) is
intended to protect against
any part of the body coming
into contact with the blades
(B).

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel mixture
NOTE_
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must
always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture
when mixing small amounts of fuel.
Gasoline
NOTE]
Mways use an oil-mixed
quality petrol (at least 87
octane). If your machine is
equipped with a catalytic
converter, (see "technical
data') an unleaded, oil
mixed quality petrol should
always be used. A leaded
petrol will destroy the
catalytic converter.
• This engine is certified to
operate on unleaded
gasoline.
• The lowest recommended
octane rating is 87. lfyou
run the engine on lower
octane rating than 87 so-
called "knocking" can
occur. This leads to an
increased engine
temperature, which can
result in a serious engine
breakdown.
• When working at
continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is
recommended.
6
6
Two-stroke oil
• For the best results use HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil,
which has been specially developed for HUSQVARNA's
small, two-stroke engines. Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%).
• Never use two-stroke oil intended forwater cooled outboard
motors, so-called outboard motor oil.
• Never use oil intended for four-strokeengines.
Mixture
• Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container intended
for fuel.
• Always start by filling half the quantity of gasoline required.
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of gasoline.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the
machine's fuel tank.
• Do not mix more than max. one month's supply of fuel.
• If the clearing saw is not used for a long period of time, the
fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Fuelling
• Clean around the fuel
cap. Contamination in
the tank can disrupt
operations.
• Ensure that the fuel is
well mixed by shaking the
container before filling
the tank.

MAINTENANCE
Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak
performance and producing the least amount of harmful
emissions after break in, have your authorized servicing
dealer, who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjust
your carburetor for optimum operating conditions.
Operation
• The carburetor governs
the engine's speed via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed
in the carburetor. The
air/fuel mixture is
adjustable. _Ibtake
advantage of the engine's
optimal output the
adjustment must be
correct.
• The setting of the
carburetor means that
the engine is adapted to
local conditions, for
example, the climate,
altitude, petrol and the
type of 2-stroke oil.
H L T
• The carburetor is equipped with three adjustment possibili-
ties:
H = High speed needle
L = Low speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster screw
• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by
the throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.
_lhrning the needles do&wise gives a leaner fuel mixture
(less fuel) and turning them anti-clockwise gives a richer
fuel mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs
while a richer mixture give less revs.
• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the
engine is idling. "filrning the screw clockwise gives a higher
idling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower
idling speed.
Basic setting
• The carburetor 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 machine's first working
hours. Thereafter the carburetor should be finely adjusted.
Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled
technician.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves while the
engine is idling the T-screw should be turned anti-clockwise
until the cutting attachment stops.
Recommended idling speed is 2 700 rpm.
Recommended max. speed 11 000-12 000 rpm.
Adjusting the idle speed, T
Adjust the idling speed with
the screw'E if it is necessary
to readjust. First turn the
idle speed adjusting screw T
clockwise until the cutting
attachment starts to rotate/
T
move.
Then turn, counter-
clockwise until the cutting
attachment stops, a correctl,
adjusted idle speed setting
occurs when the engine runs
smoothly in every position.
It should also be good
margin to the rpm when the
cutting attachment starts to
move.
CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed
setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly
adjusted or repaired.
Correctly adjusted carburetor
A correctly adjusted carburetor means that the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little
at max speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachment must not
rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low speed needle L
may cause starting dif}]culties and bad acceleration.
A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power =
lesscapacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives
acceleration problems or too low working speed.

MAINTENANCE
Muffler
NOTE_
Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See
"Ibchnical data" to see whether you dearing saw is fitted with a
catalytic converter.
The muffler is designed to
dampen the noise level and
to direct the exhaust fumes
away from the user. The
exhaust fumes are hot and
can contain sparks, which
can result in fire if the
exhaust fumes are directed
towards a dry and
inflammable material. Some
mufflers are equipped with a
special spark arrest screen. If
your machine is fitted with
this type of screen it should
be cleaned regularly. This is
done using a wire brush. On
mufflers without a catalytic
converter the screen should
be cleaned weekly, or
replaced if necessary. On
mufflers fitted with a
catalytic converter the
screen should be checked
and cleaned monthly. If the
screen is damaged it should
be replaced. If the screen is
frequently blocked, this can
be a sign that the function
of the catalytic converter is
impaired. Contact your
dealer to inspect the muffler.
A blocked screen will cause
the engine to overheat
resulting in damage to the
cylinder and piston. Also see
under "Maintenance"
NOTE_
Never use a machine with a
defective muffler.
Cooling system
_lbmaintain as low opera-
ting temperature as possible
the engine is equipped with
a cooling system.
The cooling system consists
of:
1. An air intake on the
starter unit.
2. Cooling fins on the
flywheel.
3. Cooling fins on the
cylinder
4. Cylinder cover (leads
cold air onto the cylin-
der).
Clean the cooling system
using a brush at least once a
week, in difficult conditions
Pll O r e often.
A dirty or blocked cooling system leads m the engine
overheating resulting in damage to the cylinder and piston.

MAINTENANCE
Air filter
The air filter (A) should be
cleaned regularly removing
dust and dirt to avoid:
• carburetor malfunction
• starting problems
reduced engine power
unnecessary wear to
engine parts
• abnormal fuel consump-
tion
Clean the filter after every
25 hours or more regularly
if operating conditions are
exceptionally dusty.
B A
Cleaning the air filter
Dismantle the air filter cover (B) and remove the air filter.
Wash in clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry
before refitting.
An air filter used for a long period of time can never be cleaned
completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the filter from
time to time with a new filter.A damaged air filter must always
be replaced.
Spark plug
The condition of the spark plug is aff_cred by:
• An incorrect carburetor setting.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or faulty oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrode that
may result in malfunction or starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on
power, difficuh to start or
runs poorly while idling
always check the spark plug
first before taking other
action.
The spark plug is accessed
from under the cylinder
cover, which is removed by
loosening the four bolts (A).
If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and at the same time
check that the electrode gap
is 0.5 mm. The spark plug
should be changed after
about one month of
operation or earlier if
necessary.
NOTE! Always use the
recommended type of spark
plug. An incorrect spark
plug can damage the
cylinder/piston.

0,5 mm
Gearbox
There is a grease plug on the
gearbox (A). Remove the
plug and insert a 4-5 cm
string from the tube of
grease supplied with the
hedge trimmer. This should
be carried out after approxi-
mately every 20 working
hours. Use Husqvarna
special grease,
No 503 98 96-01.
The lubricant in the gearbox
does not normally need to
be replaced other than with
