SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

6. Cutting equipment

The section describes how through correct maintenance andthrough using the right type of cutting equipment you can:• Obtain maximum clearing capacity.• Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.

Two basic rules:

1)Only use the cuttingand guard equipmentwe recommend! Seechapter “Technicaldata“.

2)Check the cuttingequipment with regardto damage and crackformation. Damagedcutting equipmentshould always bereplaced.

Cutting equipment

7. Locking nut

• Protect your hand frominjury when assembling,use the blade guard asprotection when tighteningwith a socket spanner.Tighten the nut by turningagainst the direction ofrotation. Loosen the nut byturning in the direction ofrotation. (NOTE! the nuthas a left-hand thread).

• Tighten the nut using asocket spanner, 35 - 50Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm).

Trimmer head

• Only use a trimmer headand trimmer cord that isrecommended. Thesehave been tested by themanufacturer to suit aparticular engine size.This is especiallyimportant when a fullyautomatic trimmer headis used. Only use thecutting equipment werecommend! See chapter“Technical data“.

NOTE!The locking nut‘s nylon lock must not be so worn that it canbe turned by hand. The lock shall hold at least 1.5 Nm. Thenut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10times.

• Generally smaller machines require a small trimmer headand vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cordthe engine must throw out the cord radially from thetrimmer head and also meet resistance from the grass beingcleared.

• The length of the cord is also important. A longer cordrequires greater engine power than a shorter cord of thesame diameter.

• Make sure the knife positioned on the trimmer guard isintact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.

• To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water fora few days. This will make the line tougher and it will keeplonger.

WARNING!Never use a machine with defectivesafety equipment. The safety equipmentshould be maintained as described in thissection. If your machine does not meetany of these controls you should contactyour service workshop.

General working instructions

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Basic working techniques

• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.Longer periods running at full throttle without loading theengine (that is without resistance, which the engine feelsfrom the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead toserious engine damage.

Basic safety precautions

1.Observe your surroundings:

• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affectyour control of the machine.

• To ensure that the above mentioned do not come intocontact with the cutting equipment or objects that can bethrown by the cutting equipment.

• NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility ofcalling for help in the event of an accident.

WARNING!Sometimes branches, grass or wood canget caught between the guard and cuttingequipment. Always stop the engine whencleaning.

2.Avoid usage inunfavourable weatherconditions. For example,thick fog, heavy rain,strong winds or extremecold, etc. To work in badweather conditions istiring and can createdangerous circumstances,e.g. slippery surfaces.

3.Make sure you can walkand stand safely. Look outfor any obstacles withunexpected movement(roots, stones, branches,pits, ditches, etc.). Takegreat care when workingon sloping ground.

4.The engine should be switched off before moving. Whenmoving over longer distances and transporting the transportguard should be used.

5.Never put the machine down with the engine running unlessyou have good sight of it.

6.. Do not over-reach

7.Keep Cutting attachment below waist level.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This section takes up the basic safetyprecautions for working with the trimmer.

• If you encounter a situation where you areuncertain how to proceed you should ask anexpert. Contact your dealer or your serviceworkshop.

• Avoid all usage which you consider to bebeyond your capability.

Grass trimmingusing the trimmerhead and plasticknifes

• Hold the trimmer headjust above the ground atan angle. It is the end ofthe cord that carries outthe work. Let the cordwork at its own pace. Donot press the cord into thearea to be cut.

• The cord can easilyremove grass and weeds upagainst walls, fences, treesand borders, however, itcan also damage sensitivebark on trees and bushesand damage fence posts.

• Reduce the risk ofdamaging plants byshortening the cord to 10-12 cm and reducing theengine speed.

10 – English

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Clearing• The clearing technique

removes all unwantedvegetation. Keep thetrimmer head just abovethe ground and tilt it.Let the end of the cordstrike the ground aroundtrees, posts, statues andthe like. NOTE! Thistechnique increases thewear on the cord.

• The cord wears quickerand must be fed forwardmore often whenworking against stones,brick, concrete, metalfences, etc. than whencoming into contactwith trees and woodenfences.

• When trimming andclearing you should useless than full throttle sothat the cord lasts longerand to reduce the wearon the trimmer head.

Trimming• The trimmer is ideal to

cut grass that is difficultto reach using a normallawn mower. Keep thecord parallel to theground when cutting.Avoid pressing thetrimmer head against theground as this can ruinthe lawn and damage thetool.

• Do not allow thetrimmer head toconstantly come intocontact with the groundduring normal cuttingprocedures. Constantcontact can cause damageand wear to the trimmerhead.

Sweeping• The rotating cord‘s

fanning effect can beused for quick and easycleaning. Hold the cordparallel to and above thearea to be swept andmove the trimmer fromside to side.

• When cutting andsweeping you should usefull throttle to obtain thebest results.

!

WARNING!Warning for thrown objects. Always wearprotective glasses. Never lean over theguard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrownup into the eyes causing blindness orserious injury.Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.Children, animals, onlookers and helpersshould be kept outside the safety zone of15 m (50 feet). Stop the machineimmediately if anyone approaches.

NOTE!The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and mustalways be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It isimportant to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensurethe correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount ofoil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixturewhen mixing small amounts of fuel.

Petrol

NOTE!Always use an oil-mixedquality petrol (at least 90octane). If your machine isequipped with a catalyticconverter, (see “technicaldata”) an unleaded, oilmixed quality petrolshould always be used. Aleaded petrol will destroythe catalytic converter

• The lowestrecommended octanerating is 90. If you runthe engine on a petrolwith a lower octanerating than 90 so-called“knocking“ can occur.This leads to anincreased enginetemperature, which canresult in a serious enginebreakdown.

• When working atcontinuous high revs ahigher octane rating isrecommended.

WARNING! Always provide good ventilation whenhandling fuel.!

• Clean around the fuelcap. Contamination inthe tank can disruptoperations.

• Ensure that the fuel iswell mixed by shaking thecontainer before fillingthe tank.

!

WARNING!The catalytic converter muffler gets very hotduring and after use. This also appliesduring idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,especially when handling the saw nearflammable substances or vapours.

Fuelling

WARNING!The following precautions reduce the riskof fire:Do not smoke or place any sources of heatin the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuelwhen the engine is running. Always stopthe engine and let it cool for a few minutesbefore refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowlywhen fuelling so that any over pressure isreleased slowly. Tighten the fuel capcarefully after refuelling. Always move themachine from the fuelling place beforestarting.

!

Two-stroke oil

• For the best results use HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil,which has been specially produced for clearing saws andchain saws.Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%).

• If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available you can usea high quality two-stroke oil intended for air cooled engines.Contact your dealer when selecting an oil.Mixing ratio: 1:33 (3%).

• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled outboardmotors, so-called outboard motor oil.

• Never use oil intended of four-stroke engines.

Min. 3 m(10 ft)

Mixture• Always mix petrol and oil in a clean container intended for

petrol.

• Always start by filling half the quantity of petrol required.Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuelmixture. Fill the remaining quantity of petrol.

• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in themachine‘s fuel tank.

• Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.

• If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the fueltank should be emptied and cleaned.

16 – English

START AND STOP

Control before starting

For reasons of safety followthese recommendations!

• Check that the supportflange is not cracked due tofatigue or due to beingtightened too much.Discard the support flangeif it is cracked.

• Ensure the locking nut hasnot lost its captive force.The nut lock should have alocking force of at least 1.5Nm. The tighteningtorque of the locking nutshould be 35-50 Nm.

• Check that the trimmerhead and spray guard arenot damaged or cracked.Replace the trimmer heador spray guard if they areexposed to impact or arecracked.

• Never use the machinewithout a guard or sprayguard nor with a defectiveguard.

• The carburettor governsthe engine‘s speed via thethrottle. Air/fuel is mixedin the carburettor. Theair/fuel mixture isadjustable. To takeadvantage of the engine‘soptimal output theadjustment must becorrect.

• The setting of thecarburettor means thatthe engine is adapted tolocal conditions, forexample, the climate,altitude, petrol and thetype of 2-stroke oil.

• The carburettor isequipped with threeadjustment possibilities:

L = Low speed needleH = High speed needleT = Idle speed adjuster

screw

• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted bythe throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture(less fuel) and turning them anti-clockwise gives a richerfuel mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revswhile a richer mixture give less revs.

• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while theengine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higheridling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a loweridling speed.

Fine adjustment• When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should

be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carriedout by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then theidling screw T and then the H-jet.

Conditions• Before any adjustments are made the airfilter should be clean

and the airfilter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburettor whilea dirty airfilter is in use will result in a leaner mixture whenthe filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to seriousengine damage.

• Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point betweenfully turned in and fully turned out.

• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops asdamage can occur.

• Now start the machine according to the starting instructionsand run it warm for 10 minutes.

NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves the T screwshould be turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachmentstops.

Low speed needle LTry to find the highest idlingspeed, turning the low speedneedle L clockwiserespectively counter-clockwise. When the highestspeed has been found, turnthe low speed needle L 1/4turn counter-clockwise.NOTE! If the cuttingattachment rotates/moves inthe idling position, turn theidling speed screw Tcounter-clockwise until thecutting attachment stops.

!

WARNING!If the idling speed cannot be adjusted sothat the cutting attachment stops,contact your service workshop. Do notuse the machine until it has beencorrectly adjusted or repaired.

MAINTENANCE

CarburettorYour Husqvarna product has been designed andmanufactured to specifications that reduce harmfulemissions.After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the enginehas broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peakperformance and producing the least amount of harmfulemissions after break in, have your authorized servicingdealer, who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjustyour carburettor for optimum operating conditions.

H

needle. The high speed needle is adjusted correctly when themachine ‘splatters’ a little . If the machine smokes heavily atthe same time as it ‘splatters’ heavily the adjustment is too rich.

The high speed needleaffects the machine’s power,speed, temperature and fuelconsumption. A too leanadjustment on the highspeed needle H (the highspeed needle H is screwedin too much) gives a toohigh speed resulting inengine damage. Do notallow the engine to run atfull speed for more than 10seconds.Apply full throttle and turnthe high speed needle Hslowly anticlockwise untilthe engine runs unevenly.The high speed needle H isthen turned slowlyclockwise a little until theengine runs smoothly.Note the engine should berun unloaded whenadjusting the high speedneedle. Thereforedismantle the cuttingequipment, nut, supportflange and disc drive beforeadjusting the high speed

Final setting of the idling speed TAdjust the idling speed withthe screw T, if it is necessaryto readjust. First turn theidle speed adjusting screw Tclockwise until the cuttingattachment starts to rotate/move.Then turn, counter-clockwise until the cuttingattachment stops. A correctlyadjusted idle speed settingoccurs when the engine runssmoothly in every position.It should also be goodmargin to the rpm when thecutting attachment starts torotate/move.

CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speedsetting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachmentstops. Do not use the machine until it has been properlyadjusted or repaired.

NOTE! For optimum setting of the carburettor, contact aqualified servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at hisdisposal.

High speed needle H

Correctly adjusted carburettorA correctly adjusted carburettor means that the machineaccelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles alittle at max speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachmentmust not rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted lowspeed needle L may cause starting difficulties and badacceleration.A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power= less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to theengine.A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and Hgives acceleration problems or too low working speed.

MAINTENANCE

Cooling system

To maintain as low opera-ting temperature as possiblethe engine is equipped witha cooling system.The cooling system consistsof:1.An air intake on the

starter unit.

2.Cooling fins on theflywheel.

3.Cooling fins on thecylinder

4.Cylinder cover (leads coldair onto the cylinder).

Muffler

NOTE!Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See“Technical data” to see whether your machine is fitted with acatalytic converter.

The muffler is designed todampen the noise level andto direct the exhaust fumesaway from the user. Theexhaust fumes are hot andcan contain sparks, whichcan result in fire if theexhaust fumes are directedtowards a dry andinflammable material. Somemufflers are equipped with aspecial spark arrest screen. Ifyour machine is fitted withthis type of screen it shouldbe cleaned regularly. This isdone using a wire brush. Onmufflers without a catalyticconverter the screen shouldbe cleaned weekly, orreplaced if necessary. Onmufflers fitted with acatalytic converter thescreen should be checkedand cleaned monthly. If thescreen is damaged it shouldbe replaced. If the screen isfrequently blocked, this canbe a sign that the functionof the catalytic converter isimpaired. Contact yourdealer to inspect the muffler.A blocked screen will causethe engine to overheatresulting in damage to thecylinder and piston. Also seeunder “Maintenance”.

NOTE!Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

!

WARNING!Mufflers fitted with catalytic convertersbecome extremely hot during use andafter stopping. This also applies at idlingspeeds. Contact can result in burns tothe skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!

Spark plug

The condition of the sparkplug is affected by:

• An incorrect carburettorsetting.

• An incorrect fuelmixture (too much orfaulty oil).

• A dirty air filter.

These factors causedeposits on the spark plugelectrode that may result inmalfunction or startingdifficulties.If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runspoorly while idling always check the spark plug first.If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time checkthat the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should bechanged after about one month of operation or earlier ifnecessary.NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. Anincorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.

0,5 mm

Clean the cooling system using a brush at least once a week, indifficult conditions more often.A dirty or blocked cooling system leads to the engineoverheating resulting in damage to the cylinder and piston.

The end of the drive axle inthe lower shaft should belubricated with grease every30 hours. There is a risk thatthe drive axle ends (splinedcoupling) on two-part shaftsjam if they are not lubricatedregularly.

9The angle gear is filled with asufficient quantity of grease atthe factory. However, beforeusing the machine you shouldcheck that the angle gear isfilled to 3/4 with grease. UseHUSQVARNA specialgrease.

Normally, the grease does notneed to be changed exceptwhen repairs are carried out.

Air filter

The air filter should becleaned regularly removingdust and dirt to avoid:• carburettor malfunction• starting problems• reduced engine power• unnecessary wear to

engine parts• abnormal fuel

consumptionClean the filter after every25 hours or more regularlyif operating conditions areexceptionally dusty.

Cleaning the air filterDismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash inclean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry beforerefitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can neverbe cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace thefilter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filtermust always be replaced.If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filtershould be soaked in oil, see the section on “Oiling the airfilter“.

Oiling the air filterAlways use HUSQVARNAfilter oil, order no. 503 4773-01. The filter oilcontains a solvent to make itspread evenly through thefilter. You should thereforeavoid skin contact. Put thefilter in a plastic bag and thepour the filter oil over it.Knead the plastic bag todistribute the oil. Squeezethe excess oil out of the filterinside the plastic bag andpour off the excess beforefitting the filter on the machine. Never use common engineoil. This would drain through the filter quite quickly andcollect in the bottom.
