The hedge trimmer is  
equipped with a vibration  
damping system, which is  
designed to give as vibra-  
tion-free and comfortable  
use as possible.  
The muffler is designed to  
give the lowest possible noise  
level and to direct the  
engines exhaust fumes away  
from the operator. Muffler

FUEL HANDLING  
Mixture  
Fuel  
NOTE!  
Always mix petrol and oil in a clean container intended for  
petrol.  
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must  
always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is  
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure  
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of  
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture  
when mixing small amounts of fuel.  
Always start by filling half the quantity of petrol required.  
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel  
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of petrol.  
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the  
machines fuel tank.  
Do not mix more than max. one months supply of fuel.  
If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the fuel  
tank should be emptied and cleaned.  
WARNING!  
Always provide good ventilation when  
handling fuel.  
!
Petrol  
WARNING!  
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot  
during and after use. This also applies  
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,  
especially when handling the saw near  
flammable substances or vapours.  
!
NOTE!  
Always use an oil-mixed  
quality petrol (at least 90  
octane). If your machine is  
equipped with a catalytic  
converter, (see “technical  
data”) an unleaded, oil  
mixed quality petrol should  
always be used. A leaded  
petrol will destroy the  
catalytic converter.  
Fuelling  
WARNING!  
The following precautions reduce the risk  
of fire:  
!
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat  
in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel  
when the engine is running. Always stop  
the engine and let it cool for a few minutes  
before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly  
when fuelling so that any over pressure is  
released slowly. Tighten the fuel cap  
carefully after refuelling. Always move the  
machine from the fuelling place before  
starting.  
The lowest recommended  
octane rating is 90. If you  
run the engine on a petrol  
with a lower octane rating  
than 90 so-called  
knockingcan occur.  
This leads to an increased  
engine temperature,  
which can result in a  
serious engine  
Clean around the fuel  
cap. Contamination in  
the tank can disrupt  
operations.  
breakdown.  
When working at  
continuous high revs a  
higher octane rating is  
recommended.  
Ensure that the fuel is  
well mixed by shaking  
the container before  
filling the tank.  
Two-stroke oil  
For the best results use  
HUSQVARNA two-  
stroke oil, which has been  
specially produced for

MAINTENANCE  
Basic setting  
Carburettor  
The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at  
the factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal  
setting and should be kept during the machines first  
working hours. Thereafter the carburettor should be finely  
adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled  
technician.  
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufac-  
tured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions.  
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine  
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak perform-  
ance and producing the least amount of harmful emissions  
after break in, have your authorized servicing dealer, who has  
a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjust your carburet-  
tor for optimum operating conditions.  
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves while the  
engine is idling the T-screw should be turned anti-clockwise  
until the cutting attachment stops.  
WARNING!  
The complete clutch cover and gear must  
be fitted before the machine is started,  
otherwise the clutch may come loose and  
cause injury.  
Recommended idling speed is 2 700 rpm.

The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by  
the 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 richer  
fuel mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs  
while a richer mixture give less revs.

accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little  
at max speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachment must not  
rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low speed needle L  
may cause starting difficulties and bad acceleration.  
The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the  
engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher  
idling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower  
idling speed.  
A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power =  
less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.  
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives  
acceleration problems or too low working speed.

MAINTENANCE  
Cooling system  
Muffler  
NOTE!  
To maintain as low operat-  
ing temperature as possible  
the engine is equipped with  
a cooling system.  
Some mufflers are fitted with catalytic converters. See Techni-  
cal datato find out if your machine is equipped with a  
catalytic converter.  
The muffler is designed to  
dampen the noise level and  
to direct the exhaust fumes  
away from the user. The  
exhaust fumes are hot and  
can contain sparks, which  
can result in fire if the  
exhaust fumes are directed  
towards a dry and inflam-  
mable material. Some  
mufflers are equipped with a  
special spark arrest screen. If  
your machine is fitted with  
this type of screen it should  
be cleaned regularly. This is  
done using a wire brush. On  
mufflers without a catalytic  
converter the screen should  
be cleaned weekly, or  
The cooling system consists  
of:  
1. An air intake on the  
starter unit.  
2. Cooling fins on the  
flywheel.  
3. Cooling fins on the  
cylinder

4. Cylinder cover (leads  
cold air onto the  
cylinder).  
Clean the cooling system  
using a brush at least once a  
week, in difficult conditions  
more often.  
A dirty or blocked cooling  
system leads to the engine  
overheating resulting in  
damage to the cylinder and  
piston.  
replaced if necessary. On  
mufflers fitted with a  
catalytic converter the  
screen should be checked  
and cleaned monthly. If the  
screen is damaged it should  
be replaced. If the screen is  
frequently blocked, this can  
be a sign that the function  
of the catalytic converter is  
impaired. Contact your  
dealer to inspect the muffler.  
A blocked screen will cause  
the engine to overheat  
resulting in damage to the  
cylinder and piston. Also see  
under Maintenance.  
NOTE!  
Never use a machine with a  
defective muffler.  
WARNING!  
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters  
become extremely hot during use and  
after stopping. This also applies at idling  
speeds. Contact can result in burns to  
the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!

MAINTENANCE  
Air filter  
Gearbox  
The air filter (A) should be  
cleaned regularly removing  
dust and dirt to avoid:  
There is a grease plug on the  
gearbox (A). Remove the  
plug and insert a 4-5 cm  
string from the tube of  
grease supplied with the  
hedge trimmer. This should  
be carried out after approxi-  
mately every 20 working  
hours. Use Husqvarna  
special grease,  
carburettor malfunction  
starting problems  
reduced engine power  
unnecessary wear to  
engine parts  
abnormal fuel consump-  
tion  
No 503 98 96-01.  
Clean the filter after every  
25 hours or more regularly  
if operating conditions are  
exceptionally dusty.  
The lubricant in the gearbox  
does not normally need to  
be replaced other than with  
repair.

B
Cleaning the air filter  
Dismantle the air filter cover (B) and remove the air filter.  
Wash in clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry  
before refitting.  
Lubrication  
An air filter used for a long period of time can never be cleaned  
completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the filter from  
time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter must always  
be replaced.  
Always lubricate the blade  
runners with special grease  
531 00 60-74 (UL 21)  
before use.  
Spark plug  
The condition of the spark plug is affected by:  
An incorrect carburettor setting.  
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or faulty oil).  
A dirty air filter.  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrode that  
may result in malfunction or starting difficulties.  
If the machine is low on  
power, difficult to start or  
runs poorly while idling  
always check the spark plug  
A
first before taking other  
action.  
The spark plug is accessed  
from under the cylinder  
cover, which is removed by  
loosening the four bolts (A).  
If the spark plug is dirty,  
clean it and at the same time  
A
check that the electrode gap  
is 0.5 mm. The spark plug  
should be changed after  
about one month of  
operation or earlier if  
necessary.  
0,5 mm  
NOTE! Always use the  
recommended type of spark  
plug. An incorrect spark  
plug can damage the  
cylinder/piston.
