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 of beeing, 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 rst 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 building and construction industry. Husqvarnas aim is also to be in the front edge according to ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different features to provide 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 satised with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operators manual as a valuable document. 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 operators manual. Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using a new chain saw
Please read this manual carefully. (1) - (51) refer to gures on p. 2-5. Check that the cutting equipment is correctly tted and adjusted. See instructions under the heading Assembly. Refuel and start the chain saw. See the instructions under the headings Fuel Handling and Starting and Stopping. Do not use the chain saw until sufcient chain oil has reached the chain. See instructions under the heading Lubricating cutting equipment. Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment. So always use approved hearing protection.

It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face when using a chain saw. Always exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating procedures after reading these instructions, you should consult an expert before continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us if you have any questions about the use of the chain saw. We will willingly be of service and provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chain saw both efciently and safely. Attend a training course in chain saw usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry school or your library can provide information about which training materials and courses are available. Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and technology - improvements that

increase your safety and efciency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you can benet from new features that have been introduced. brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent them. Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback zone of the bar never touches any object (45). The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release mechanism.(3) The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is pushed forwards or when the right-hand brake trigger (E) is pushed up and forwards (240e TrioBrake). (3) This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive system (D) (clutch drum). (4) The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if you lose grip of the front handle. The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating. Use the chain brake as a parking brake when starting and when moving over short distances, to reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting your leg or anyone or anything close by. To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard backwards, towards the front handle. Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain saw rmly and not let go. The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the bar strikes. If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback direction. If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the bar is closer to you the chain brake will be activated manually by the movement of your left hand. In the felling position the left hand is in a position that makes manual activation of the chain brake impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia action.

Personal protective equipment
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents happen when the chain touches the operator. You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
Approved protective helmet Hearing protection Protective goggles or a visor Gloves with saw protection Trousers with saw protection Boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole Always have a rst aid kit nearby. Fire Extinguisher and Shovel Generally clothes should be close-tting without restricting your freedom of movement. IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the mufer, the bar and chain or other sources. Always have re extinguishing tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest res.
Machines safety equipment
In this section the machines safety features and their function are explained. For inspection and maintenance see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment. See instructions under the heading, What is what?, to nd where these parts are located on your machine. The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.
Will my hand always activate the chain brake during a kickback?
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You should also maintain a rm grip of the chain saw handles while working. If you do and experience a kickback, your hand may never leave the front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or the chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung around a considerable distance. In such instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw chain before it touches you. There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.

Lubricating cutting equipment

Chain oil

WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased if the depth gauge setting is too large!
Adjustment of depth gauge setting The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively. You will need a at le and a depth gauge tool. We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge. Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool, will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool. Use the at le to le off the tip of the depth gauge that protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel resistance as you draw the le along the depth gauge tool.
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its ow characteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather. As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage. If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is recommended. Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to you and damage the machine and environment. IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming. Filling with chain oil All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication system. On some models the oil ow is also adjustable. The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil. However, this safety feature requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil). Checking chain lubrication Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip sprocket. Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface. If the chain lubrication is not working: Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed. Clean if necessary. Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean. Clean if necessary.

Tensioning the chain

WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury.
WARNING! Always wear approved protective gloves. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack. Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently. Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand. (9) Release the knob by folding it out. (10) Turn the knob anti clockwise to loosen the bar cover. (11)

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS / ASSEMBLY
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean and lubricate if necessary. If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the above checks and associated measures you should contact your service agent. Chain drive sprocket The clutch drum is tted with a Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum). Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket whenever you replace the chain. Checking wear on cutting equipment Check the chain daily for: Visible cracks in rivets and links. Whether the chain is stiff. Whether rivets and links are badly worn. Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points above. We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn. When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to only 4 mm the chain must be replaced. Bar Check regularly: Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove these with a le if necessary. (15) Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn. Replace the bar if necessary. (16) Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to running with a slack chain. To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily. Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by moving the front hand guard towards the front handle. Remove the knob and remove the clutch cover (chain brake). Take off the transportation ring (A). (17) Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar. (18) Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing forward on the top edge of the bar. Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain adjuster pin in the cut-out in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain t correctly on the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the groove on the bar. (19) Tension the chain by turning the wheel down (+). The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar. (12) The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar knob by turning the knob clockwise. (13) When tting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting performance and long life. (20)

Fitting the bar and chain
WARNING! Switch off the engine before carrying out any checks or maintenance. The stop switch automatically returns to the start position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug when assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance. Always wear gloves, when working with the chain, in order to protect your hands from injury.
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents happen when the chain touches the operator. Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading Personal protective equipment. Do not tackle any job that you feel you are not adequately trained for. See instructions under the headings Personal protective equipment, How to avoid kickback, Cutting equipment and General working instructions. Avoid situations where there is a risk of kickback. See instructions under the heading Machines safety equipment. Use the recommended protective equipment and check its condition. See instructions under the heading General working instructions. Check that all the chain saw safety features are working. See instructions under the headings General working instructions and General safety precautions.

FUEL HANDLING
Note! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always be run using a mixture of petrol and twostroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good adhesion characteristics. Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the bar and the chain. It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature. In temperatures below 0C (32F) some oils become too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components. Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.

Petrol

WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when handling fuel.

Fuelling

Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol. The lowest recommended octane grade is 90 (RON). If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 socalled knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature and increased bearing load, which can result in serious engine damage. When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a higher octane is recommended. Running-in Avoid running at a too high speed for extended periods during the rst 10 hours.

Mixing

Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. Always start by lling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before lling the machines fuel tank. Do not mix more than one months supply of fuel at a time. If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
WARNING! Never use a machine with visible damage to the spark plug guard and ignition cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can cause a re.

FUEL HANDLING / STARTING AND STOPPING

Transport and storage

Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked ames from electrical equipment, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like. Always store fuel in an approved container designed for that purpose. For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your local petrol station. Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage. The bar guard must always be tted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain. Secure the machine during transport. rear handle. 3. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) then pull rmly and rapidly. Never twist the starter cord around your hand. (26) CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine. 4. Push in the choke control to the 1/2 choke setting as soon as the engine res which can be heard through a "puff" sound. (22) 5. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. (27) Allow engine to warm for thirty seconds, then squeeze throttle trigger to set normal idle. As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the engine must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is achieved by quickly pressing the throttle trigger once. This prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake band. Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard back (marked PULL BACK TO RESET) towards the front handle. (28) The chain saw is now ready for use. There is a simplied start reminder with illustrations to describe each step on the rear edge of the saw (A).

If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut should be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse or runners and cut individually. Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area. By leaving them in the cutting area, you increase the risk for inadvertently getting a kickback, as well as increasing the risk of losing your balance while working. The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk that the chain will touch the ground when you nish the cut. Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the chain touch the ground as you nish the cut. Maintain full throttle but be prepared for what might happen. (37) If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/ 3 of the way through the log. Turn the log and nish the cut from the opposite side. The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it will split. Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through). Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet. The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that the chain will jam. Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through). Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.

Tree felling technique

IMPORTANT! It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of! Safe distance The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths. Make sure that no-one else is in this risk zone before or during felling. (38) Felling direction The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb and cross-cut the log as easily as possible. You want it to fall in a location where you can stand and move about safely. Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally. Several factors affect this: Lean of the tree Bend

English 17

Wind direction Arrangement of branches Weight of snow Obstacles within the reach of the tree: for example, other trees, power lines, roads and buildings. Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem, this makes it more probably that the tree will break and start to fall before you expect it to. You may nd you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to make it fall in the direction you rst intended. Another very important factor, which does not affect the felling direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure the tree has no damaged or dead branches that might break off and hit you during felling. The main point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another tree. It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high accident risk. See instructions under the heading Freeing a tree that has fallen badly. IMPORTANT! During critical felling operations, hearing protectors should be lifted immediately when sawing is completed so that sounds and warning signals can be heard. Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat Delimb the stem up to shoulder height. It is safer to work from the top down and to have the tree between you and the saw. Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and check the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes, etc.) so that you have a clear path of retreat when the tree starts to fall. Your path of retreat should be roughly 135 degrees away from the intended felling direction. (39) 1 Danger zone 2 Retreat path 3 Felling direction Felling Make the felling cut about 3-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) above the bottom directional cut. Set the spike bumper (if one is tted) just behind the felling hinge. Use full throttle and advance the chain/bar slowly into the tree. Make sure the tree does not start to move in the opposite direction to your intended felling direction. Drive a wedge or breaking bar into the cut as soon as it is deep enough. (42) Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling hinge. The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in. (43) All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling cut are badly placed. When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or breaking bar. We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See instructions under the heading Technical data section to nd out which lengths of bar are recommended for your saw. There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger than the bar length. However these methods involve a much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will come into contact with the tree.

WARNING! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot be adjusted so that the chain stops. Do not use the chain saw until it has been properly adjusted or repaired.
WARNING! A majority of kickback accidents occur during limbing. Do not use the kickback zone of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious and avoid contacting the log, other limbs or objects with the nose of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious of limbs under tension. They can spring back toward you and cause loss of control resulting in injury.
Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment
Note! All service and repair work on the machine demands special training. This is especially true of the machines safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks described below we recommend that you take it to your service workshop. Any maintenance other than that described in this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer). Switch off the engine and take off the ignition cable before repairs or maintenance
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely. Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk. Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move along the trunk. Cutting the trunk into logs See instructions under the heading Basic cutting technique.
Checking brake band wear Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation of the brake. (46) Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.6 mm thick at its thinnest point. Checking the front hand guard Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects such as cracks.

General

The user must only carry out the maintenance and service work described in this Operators Manual. More extensive work must be carried out by an authorised service workshop.

English 19

MAINTENANCE
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch cover. (47) Checking the inertia brake release Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle and let the saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the rear handle towards the stump. When the bar hits the stump the brake should be applied. (48) Checking the right-hand brake trigger (240e TrioBrake) Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects, such as cracks. Push the trigger up and forwards to check that it moves freely and is securely hinged to the clutch cover. Never carry or hang the saw by the trigger! This could damage the mechanism and disable the chain brake. (49) Checking the brake trigger Place the chain saw on rm ground and start it. Make sure the chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the instructions under the heading Start and stop. Grasp the chain saw rmly, wrapping your ngers and thumbs around the handles. Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of the front handle. The chain should stop immediately. Note: The spark arrestor screen (A) on this machine is serviceable. (50) The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with a mufer that is in poor condition. Never use a mufer if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or defective. For normal homeowner use, the mufer and spark arresting screen will not require replacement. After 75 hours of use, we recommend that your mufer be replaced by your authorized Husqvarna service dealer.

Air lter

The air lter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid: Carburettor malfunctions Starting problems Loss of engine power Unnecessary wear to engine parts. Excessive fuel consumption. Remove the air lter (3) after taking off the cylinder cover, screw (1) and lter cover (2). When retting make sure that the air lter seals tightly against the lter holder. Clean the lter by brushing or shaking it. (51) The lter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in water and detergent. An air lter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The lter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air lter must always be replaced. A HUSQVARNA chain saw can be equipped with different types of air lter according to working conditions, weather, season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lockout is released. Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it. Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely and that the return springs work properly. Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the throttle control and check that the chain stops and remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the throttle control is in the idle position you should check the carburettor idle adjustment.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is inuenced by: Incorrect carburettor adjustment. An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). A dirty air lter. These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difculties. If the machine is low on power, difcult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug rst before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary. (52) Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is tted with a suppressor.
Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is rmly attached to the body of the chain saw.
Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects, such as cracks.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached to the engine unit and handle unit.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Never use a machine that has a faulty mufer. Regularly check that the mufer is securely attached to the machine.
