INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689,
when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production
of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-
powered plant. During the more than 300 years in existence, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different
products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first
motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working
today.
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our
highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor-driven products for forestry and
gardening, as well as for the building and construction industry. Husqvarna
′
s aim is also to be at the front edge for
ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different
features to add to our products within these areas.
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very
long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and service
whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorised dealers, ask for the
address of your nearest service workshop.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this
operator
′
s manual as a valuable document. By following its content (usage, service, maintenance, etc), the life span and
the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that the operator
′
s manual
is passed on to the buyer.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and
appearance of products without prior notice.

impaired circulation. Contact your doctor
if you experience symptoms of
overexposure to vibration. These
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.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
check the correct way to load the line and the correct
line diameter.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12 – English
Always remove the battery before you work on any part of
the cutting equipment. It continues to rotate even after the
throttle control has been released. Check that the cutting
equipment has stopped completely and remove the
battery before you start any work on it.
Trimmer head
• Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer lines. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular motor 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.
• 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 before use. This will make
the cord tougher so that it lasts longer. Different line
lengths can result in unnecessary vibrations. Tap the
trimmer head to get correct lengths on the line.
!
WARNING! Always use recommended
trimmer line. See technical data. Failure
to follow this instruction may cause
personal injury.
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.

General working instructions
Basic safety rules
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the ”Personal protective equipment” heading.
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. Ensure
that no-one comes closer than 15 metres while you
are working.
2 Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects,
such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string,
etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped
around the cutting attachment.
3 Never use the machine in bad weather, for instance in
fog, in rain, damp or in wet locations,strong winds,
intense cold, risk of lightning, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
Safety instructions while working
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the
machine on the right side of your body.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating
cutting attachment. Keep the cutting attachment
below waist level.
• Turn off the machine when it has to be moved. Always
remove the battery when passing the machine to
another person.
• Never put the machine down without turning it off first
and always remove the battery.
• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Remove the battery from the
machine and check that the machine is not damaged.
• If any unwanted vibrations occur, tap out new line to
give the line the correct length and the vibrations
should stop.
IMPORTANT!
This section takes up the basic safety precautions for
working with a lawn trimmer.
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.
!
WARNING! The machine can cause
serious personal injury. Read the safety
instructions carefully. Learn how to use
the machine.
!
WARNING! Always remove the battery
before any maintenance on the machine.
WORKING TECHNIQUES
18 – English
• Release the power trigger after each working
operation to save battery power.
Safety instructions after completing work
• Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Remove the battery from the machine.
SavE mode
The machine is equipped with a battery saving function
(SavE). Activate the function by pressing the SavE button.
A green LED will light to indicate that the function is on.
In most cases SavE mode is the most optimum when
trimming and gives longest runtime. Release the power
trigger after each working operation to save battery
power.
Rotation direction
It is possible to change the rotation direction of the
trimmer head in any position, at full speed or at stop
postion.
When the rotation button is pressed, the green diode will
lit and the trimmer head rotates in counterclockwise. The
trimmer head always rotates clockwise by default (green
LED is off).
It is easier to tap out the trimmer line to make it longer
when the trimmer head rotates clockwise.
Automatic switch off functionality
The machine is equipped with a shutdown feature that
deactivates the machine if not used. The green LED will
be extinguished and the machine turned off after 45
seconds.
!
WARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the motor
is running or the cutting attachment is
rotating, as this can result in serious
injury.
Turn off the machine and remove the
battery before removing materials that
are wound around the trimmer head as
otherwise there is 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.
!
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved 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 metres. 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
• Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the line that does the work. Let
the line work at its own pace. Never press the line into
the area to be cut.
• The line 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
line to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
Clearing
• The clearing technique removes all unwanted
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the line strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the
line.
• The line 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 (80%) so that the cord lasts longer and to
reduce the wear on the trimmer head.
Cutting
• The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the line
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 line can be used for quick
and easy clearing up. Hold the line 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.
!
WARNING! Sometimes branches or
grass get caught between the guard and
cutting attachment. Always remove the
battery before cleaning.
