SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Muffler
S Never use a machine that has a faulty
muffler .
S Regularly check that the muffler is securely
attached to the machine.
S The muf fler on this unit is equipped with a
special spark arrestor mesh. The mesh
should be checked and, if necessary .
cleaned by a servicing dealer. A blocked
mesh will cause the machine to overheat,
which can lead to serious damage. Never
use a muffler with a defective spark arres-
tor mesh. See the Maintenance section.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and
mainta in your cutting equipm ent in order to:
S Obtain maximum cutting performance.
S Extend the life of cutting equipment.
General rules
:
1. Only use cutting attachm ents with the
guards we recommend! See the section
on “Technical Data”.
2. Check the cutting attachment for damage
or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment
should always be replaced.
IMPORT ANT!
This section describes how to choose and
mainta in your cutting equipm ent in order to:
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
Only use cutting attachments with the guards
we recommend! See the section on
“Technical data”.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attach-
ment to check the correct way to load the
trimmer line and the correct line diameter .
Trimmer he a d
S Only use the recommended cutting at-
tachments. See the section on “Technical
data”.
S Smaller machines generally require small
trimmer heads and vice versa. This is be-
cause when clearing using trimmer line the
engine must throw out the trimmer line ra-
dially from the trimmer head and overcome
the resistance of the grass being cleared.
S The length of the trimmer line is also im-
portant. A longer trimmer line requires
greater engine power than a shorter
trimmer line of the same diameter.
S Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer
guard is intact. This is used to cut the
trimmer line to the correct length.
S To increase the life of the trimmer line it
can be soaked in water for a couple of
days. This will make the line tougher so
that it lasts longer .
IMPORT ANT!
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound
tightly and evenly around the drum, other-
wise the machine will generate harmful
vibration.
W ARNING: Always stop the en-
gine before doing any work on the
cutting attachment. This continues
to rotate even after the throttle has
been released. Ensure that the
cutting attachment has stopped
completely and disconnect the
lead from the spark plug before
you start to w ork on it.
W ARNING: Never use a machine
with faulty safety equipm ent. The
machine’s safety equipment must be
checked and maintained as
described in this section. If your
machine fails any of these checks
contact your servicing dealer to get
it repaired. Use of a machine with
faulty safety equipm ent increa ses
the risk of serious personal injury to
the operator or others.

General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes the basic safety pre-
cautions for working with trimmers. If you
encounter a situation where you are uncer-
tain how to proceed you should ask an ex-
pert. Contact your servicing dealer .
Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability.
You must understand the dif ference between
forestry cle aring, grass cleari ng and grass
trimming before use.
Basic safety rules
1. Look around you:
S To ensure that people, animals or other
things cannot af fect your control of the
machine.
S To ensure that people, animals, etc.,
do not come into contact with the cut-
ting attachment or loose objects that
are thrown out by the cutting attach-
ment.
WARNING: T ake care when han-
dling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of
fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.

115374427 Rev. 6 5/15/12
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3. M a ke sure yo u ca n mo ve and stan d safe ly.
Check the area around you for possible ob-
stacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.)
in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
4. Switch off the engine before moving to
another area.
5. Never put the machine down with the engine
running or while the cutting attachment is
rotating .
Basic working techniques
S 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.
S It is recommended that the engine not
be operated for longer than 1 minute at
full throttle.
Grass tri mming using a trimmer head
Trimming
S Hold the trimmer head just above the
ground at an angle. It is the end of the trim-
mer line that does the work. Let the trim-
mer line work at its own pace. Never press
the trimmer line into the area to be cut.
S The trimmer 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.
W ARNING: Sometime s branc hes
or grass get caught between the
guard and cutting attachment.
Always stop the engine before
cleaning.
S CAUTION! Do not use the machine
unless you are able to call for help in
the event of an accident.
2. Do not use the machine in bad weather ,
such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong
wind, intense cold, etc. W orking in bad
weather is tiring and often brings added
risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable
felling direction, etc.
S Reduce the risk o
f
damaging plants by
shortening the trimmer line to 4--4 1/2 inches
(10--12 cm) and reducing the engine speed.
S When tr imming you should use less than
full throttle so that the trimmer line lasts
longer and to reduce the wear on the
trimmer head.
Clearing
S The clearing technique removes all un-
wanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer
head just above the ground and tilt it. Let
the end of the trimmer line strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and
the like. IMPORTANT! This technique
increases the wear on the trimmer line.
S The trimmer line wears quicker and must
be fed forward more often when working
against stones, brick, concrete, metal
fences, etc., than when coming into con-
tact with trees and wooden fences.
Cutting
S The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that
is difficult to reach using a normal lawn
mower . Keep the trimmer 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.
S Do not allow the trimmer head to con--
stantly come into contact with the ground
during normal cutting. Constant contact
of this type can cause damage and wear
to the trimmer head.

115374427 Rev. 6 5/15/12
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Sweeping
S The fan ef fect of the rotating line can be
used for quick and easy clearing up.
Hold the trimmer line parallel to and
above the area to be swept and move
the tool to and fro.
S When cutting and sweeping you should
use full throttle to obtain the best results.
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 dis-
tance. 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 ma-
chine around without first checking
behind you to make sure no one is
within the safety zone.
WARNING: Sometimes
branches or grass get caught
between the guard and cutting
attachment or wrapped around the
shaft. Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may at-
tempt 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 equip-
ment before you remove material.

tane rating than 87, “knocking” can oc-
cur. This leads to an increased engine
temperature, which can result in a seri-
ous engine breakdown.
S When working at continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is recommended.
Two -- stroke oil
S For great results and performance use
HUSQV ARNA two--stroke oil, which is
specially formulated for our two--stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
S To maximize the life of your trimmer, you
may choose to use a high quality syn-
thetic oil formulated for two--stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
S Never use two--stroke oil intended for
water--cooled outboard engines,
sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
S Never use oil intended for four--stroke
engines.
W ARNING: Fuel and fuel fumes
are highly flammable and can cause
serious injury when inhaled or al-
lowed to come in contact with the
skin. For this reason, observe cau-
tion when handling fuel and make
sure there is adequa te ve ntilation.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Warm engine
With a warm engine, move the blue engine
choke lever to the ½ position. Pull starter
rope until engine runs. Move the blue
engine choke lever to the opened position.
W ARNING: When the engine is
started with the choke in the closed
position the cutting attachment will
start to rotate immediately.
Stopping
Stop the engine by pushing and holding
the stop switch in the STOP position until
the engine stops.
MAINTENANCE
Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed
and manufactured to specifications that re-
duce harmful emissions. After the engine
has used 8--10 tanks of fuel, the engine will
be run--in. To ensure that it continues to run
at peak performance and to minimize harm-
ful exhaust emissions after the run--in peri-
od, ask your servicing dealer to adjust your
carburetor.
The owner is responsible for the per
f
or-
mance of all required maintenance as
defined in the operator’s manual.
W ARNING: The complete clutch,
clutch cover , and shaft must be
fitted before the machi ne is started,
otherwise parts could come loose
and cause personal injury .
Function
S The carburetor governs the engine’s
speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel
are mixed in the carburetor.
S The T--screw regulates the throttle setting
at idle speed. If the T--screw is turned
clockwise this gives a higher idle speed;
turning it counterclockwise gives a lower
idle speed.
Basic setting
S The basic carburetor settings are ad-
justed during testing at the factory. Fine
adjustment should be carried out by a
skilled technician.
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates
when the engine is idling the idle adjustment
screw T should be turned counterclockwise
until the cutting attachment stops.
W ARNING: The cutting attach-
ment ma y be spinning during carbu-
retor adjustme nts. Wear your protec-
tive equipment and observe all safe-
ty instructions . Be sure the cutting
attachm ent stops turning when the
engine idles. When the unit is turned
off, make sure the cutting attach-
ments has stopped before the unit is
set down.
Rec. idle speed:
See “Technical data” section.
Recommended max. speed:
See “Technical data” section.
Fine adjustment of the idle speed--T
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjust-
ment screw--T if it is necessary to readjust.
First, turn the idle adjustment screw--T
clockwise until the cutting attachment starts
to rotate. Then, turn the screw counterc-
lockwise until the cutting attachment stops.
The idle speed is correctly adjusted when
the engine will run smoothly in every posi-
tion. The idle speed should also be well
below the speed at which the cutting at-
tachment starts to rotate.

WARNING: Improper mainte-
nance could result in serious engine
damage or in serious injury .

115374427 Rev. 6 5/15/12
MAINTENANCE
W ARNING: If the idle speed can-
not be adjusted so that the cutting
attachment stops, contact your ser-
vicing dealer . Do not use the ma-
chine until it has been correctly ad-
justed or repaired.
Unit/Maintenance Safety
Disconnect the spark plug before perform-
ing maintenance, except carburetor adjust-
ments.
Muffler
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic
converter designed to reduce exhaust gas
emissions.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise
level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator. The exhaust gases are
hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and com-
bustible material.
Mufflers are equipped with a special spark
arrestor mesh. The mesh should be
checked and, if necessary. cleaned by a
servicing dealer. If the mesh is damaged,
it should be replaced. Ifthemeshisfre-
quently blocked, this can be a sign that the
performance of the catalytic converter is
impaired. Contact your servicing dealer to
inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will
cause the machine to overheat and result
in damage to the cylinder and piston.
CAUTION! Never use a machine that has
a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler
bolts are tight.
Muffler bolts
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
S Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
S An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or in-
correct type of oil).
S A dirty air filter .
These factors cause deposits on the spark
plug electrodes, which may result in operat-
ing problems and starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idle speed: always
check the spark plug first before taking
any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is
0.024 (0.6 mm). The spark plug should be
replaced after about a month in operation or
earlier if necessary.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended
spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark
plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
0.024 (0.6 mm)
Spark arrestor mesh
W ARNING: The inside of the
muffler contain chemicals that may
be carcinogenic. Avoid contact
with these elements in the event of
a damaged muffler.
CAUTION: Mufflers fitted with cata-
lytic converters get very hot during use
and remain so for some time after stop-
ping. This also appli es at idle speed. Con-
tact can result in burns to the skin. Re-
member the risk of fire!
WARNING: Engine exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. DO NOT
start or run the
machine indoors, or any where that
is poorly ventilated. The exhaus t
fumes from the engine are hot and
may contain sparks which can start
a fire. Never start the machine in-
doors or near combustible material!

MAINTENANCE
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to
remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:
S Carburetor malfunctions
S Starting problems
S Loss of engine power
S Unnecessary wear to engine parts
S Excessive fuel consumption
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more
regularly if conditions are exceptionally
dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the
filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water .
Rinse thoroughly. Ensure that the filter is dry
before refitting it.
An air filter that has been in use for a long
time cannot be cleaned completely. The
filter must therefore be replaced with a new
one at regular intervals. A damaged air
filter must always be replaced.
Maintenance schedule
