It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and

your nearest service workshop.

This operator’s manual is a valuable document. Make sure it 
is always at hand at the work place. By following its´ content 
(using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the 
second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you 
will sell this machine, make sure that the buyer will get the 
operator´s manual.

Husqvarna AB is a Swedish company based on a tradition 
that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Charles XI 
ordered the construction of a factory for production of 
muskets. At that time, the foundation was already laid for the 
engineering skills behind the development of some of the 
world's leading products in areas such as hunting weapons, 
bicycles, motorcycles, domestic appliances, sewing 
machines and outdoor products.

Husqvarna is the global leader in outdoor power products for 
forestry, park maintenance and lawn and garden care, as well 
as cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction 
and stone industries.

It is the owner’s/employer’s responsibility that the operator 
has sufficient knowledge about how to use the machine 
safely. Supervisors and operators must have read and 
understood the Operator’s Manual. They must be aware of:

•

The machine’s safety instructions.

•

The machine’s range of applications and limitations.

•

How the machine is to be used and maintained.

National legislation could regulate the use of this machine. 
Find out what legislation is applicable in the place where you 
work before you start using the machine.

All information and all data in the Operator’s Manual were 
applicable at the time the Operator’s Manual was sent to print.

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.

Values such as high performance, reliability, innovative 
technology, advanced technical solutions and environmental 
considerations distinguish Husqvarna's products.

Some of the unique features of your product are described 
below.

Centrifugal air cleaning in three steps for longer service life 
and longer service intervals.

Built-in automatic filter compensation maintains high power 
and reduces fuel consumption.

Dust sealed starter unit, where the return spring and the 
pulley bearing are sealed which makes the starter virtually 
maintenance free and even more reliable.

The X-Torq® engine provides a more accessible torque for a 
wider range of speeds which results in maximum cutting 
capacity. X-Torq® reduces the fuel consumption with up to 
20% and the emissions with up to 60%.

The engine and starter are designed to ensure quick and 
easy starting of the machine. Reduces the pull resistance in 
the starter cord with up to 40%. (Reduces the compression 
during starting.)

When you push the air purge diaphragm, fuel is pumped 
through to the carburettor. Fewer pulls are required for 
starting, meaning the machine becomes easier to start. 

Low flushing wet cutting kit for effective dust handling.

Efficient vibration dampers spare arms and hands.

Specially designed starter handle, with room for heavy 
gloves.

Adjustable carry strap for full freedom of movement.

Chromium-plated blade guard, visible in smoke and water 
spray, enhances control of the cutter.
