GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for trimming grass. The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the chapter on Technical data. Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination. Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading Personal protective equipment. Never use a machine that has been modied in any way from its original specication. Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualied specialists. See instructions under the heading Maintenance. All covers, guards and handles must be tted before starting. Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead are undamaged to avoid the risk of electric shock. The machine operator must ensure that no people or animals come closer than 15 metres while working. When several operators are working in the same area the safety distance should be at least twice the tree height and no less than 15 metres. GLOVES HEARING PROTECTION Wear hearing protection that provides adequate noise reduction. HELMET A protective helmet where there is a risk of falling objects

Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting attachment (wrong type or incorrectly led, see instructions under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of vibration. The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machines handle unit. Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a signicant risk of re. We therefore t certain mufers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the mufer on your machine is tted with this kind of mesh.
For mufers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. Never use a machine that has a faulty mufer.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached. WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the ngers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Regularly check that the mufer is securely attached to the machine.

Quick release

There is an easily accessible, quick release tted at the front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches re, or in any other situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness. See instructions under the heading Adjusting the harness and clearing saw.
If the mufer on your machine is tted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
WARNING! Mufers tted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of re! WARNING! The inside of the mufer contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged mufer. WARNING! Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a re. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the harness quick release works correctly.

Locking nut

A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting attachment.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut at le.
When tting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.) Tighten the nut using the socket spanner.
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade. WARNING! Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specied type.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.

Trimmer head

Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords. These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular engine 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.

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to: Reduce the risk of blade thrust. Obtain maximum cutting performance. Extend the life of cutting equipment. 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 cord and the correct cord diameter. Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the blade packaging.
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. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer. IMPORTANT! Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration.

WARNING!

When tting the cutting attachment it is extremely important that the raised section on the drive disc/support ange engages correctly in the centre hole of the cutting attachment. If the cutting attachment is tted incorrectly it can result in serious and/or fatal personal injury.
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard. See the chapter on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty guard is tted this can cause serious personal injury.
Fitting the trimmer guard and trimmer head
IMPORTANT! If a saw blade or grass blade are to be used the machine must be equipped with the correct handlebar, blade guard and harness.
Fit the correct trimmer guard (A) for use with the trimmer head. Hook the trimmer guard/combination guard onto the tting on the shaft and secure with the bolt (L).
Fitting a blade guard, grass blade and grass cutter
Hook the blade guard/combination guard (A) onto the tting on the shaft and secure with the bolt (L). CAUTION! Use the recommended blade guard. See the Technical data section.

Spreading the load on your shoulders
A well-adjusted harness and machine makes work much easier. Adjust the harness for the best working position. Tension the side straps so that the weight is evenly distributed across both shoulders.
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw

Correct height

Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground.
WARNING! When using a clearing saw it must always be hooked securely to the harness. Otherwise you will be unable to control the clearing saw safely and this can result in injury to yourself or others. Never use a harness with a defective quick release.
Put on the harness and hang the machine from the support hook. Now make a nal adjustment so that the machine is in a comfortable working position when it hangs from the harness. Tighten the screws.

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke engine 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. WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inammable and can cause serious injury when inhaled or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this reason observe caution when handling fuel and make sure there is adequate ventilation.

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.

Fuelling

WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of re: Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel. Always shut off the engine before refuelling. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling. When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently. Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling. Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.
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! The catalytic converter mufer gets very hot during and after use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the re hazard, especially when working near ammable substances and/or vapours.
Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve. Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems. Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before lling the tank.

16 English

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never twist the starter cord around your hand. Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the engine starts. return choke control to run position and apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage from the start setting. 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.

Stopping

Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
CAUTION! Do not put any part of your body in marked area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or electrical shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark plug cap.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
General working instructions
IMPORTANT! This section describes the basic safety precautions for working with clearing saws and trimmers. 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. You must understand the difference between forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use. 8 Keep the cutting attachment below waist level. Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting the equipment any distance. Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.
WARNING! Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or the cutting equipment is rotating, as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you remove material that has wound around the blade shaft as otherwise there is a 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 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches. Never swing the machine around without rst checking behind you to make sure no-one is within the safety zone.

Basic safety rules

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. 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. Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc. 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.

Basic working techniques

Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
Keep a good balance and a rm foothold. Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine on the right side of your body.
WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the engine before cleaning. WARNING! Machines tted with saw blades or grass blades can be thrown violently to the side when the blade comes into contact with a xed object. This is called blade thrust. A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the machine. Blade thrust can occur without warning if the machine snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difcult to see the material being cut. Avoid cutting with the area of the blade between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. Because of the speed of rotation of the blade, blade thrust can occur if you attempt to cut thick stems with this area of the blade.

Grass clearing using a grass blade

Clearing

The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the cord.
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on woody stems. A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass. The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between 8 and 12 oclock) do the cutting.
The cord 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 so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head.
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect, e.g. by raking. Try to work rhythmically. Stand rmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand rmly again. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground. Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions: Always work at full throttle. Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke.

Cutting

The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difcult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord 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.
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.

Sweeping

The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head

Trimming

Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord into the area to be cut.

Some mufers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If your machine has this type of mufer, you should clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush. On mufers without a catalytic converter the mesh should be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufers tted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it should be replaced. If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the mufer. A blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston. CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective mufer.
WARNING! Mufers tted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of re!

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.
Note: The machine should only be run for short periods at its highest speed. WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment stops, contact your dealer/service workshop. Do not use the machine until it has been correctly adjusted or repaired.
The cooling system consists of: 1 Air intake on the starter. 2 Fins on the ywheel. 3 Cooling ns on the cylinder. 4 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder). Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

Air lter Bevel gear

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.
The bevel gear is lled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is lled three-quarters full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease. The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.

Spark plug

Clean the lter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.
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.

Cleaning the air lter

Remove the air lter cover and take out the lter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the lter is dry before retting it. 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. If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air lter should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the heading Oiling the 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 0,6-0,7 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

Oiling the air lter

Always use HUSQVARNA lter oil, art. no. 92-48. The lter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the lter. You should therefore avoid skin contact. Put the lter in a plastic bag and pour the lter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the lter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before tting the lter to the machine. Never use common engine oil. This would drain through the lter quite quickly and collect in the bottom. CAUTION! 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.
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.
