Personal protective equipment  
IMPORTANT! Whenever you use a clear-  
ing saw, brushcutter or trimmer you must  
wear personal protective equipment that is  
approved by the authorities. Personal  
protective equipment does not eliminate  
the risk of accidents, but it can reduce the  
effects of an injury in the event of an acci-  
dent. Ask your dealer for help when

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Cutting attachment guard  
WARNING: Mufflers fitted with  
catalytic converters get very hot  
during use and remain so for some  
time after stopping. This also ap-  
plies at idle speed. Contact can re-  
sult in burns to the skin. Remember  
the risk of fire!  
This guard is intended to prevent loose ob-  
jects from being thrown towards the opera-  
tor. The guard also protects the operator  
from accidental contact with the cutting at-  
tachment.  
WARNING: The inside of the  
muffler contain chemicals that may  
be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with  
these elements in the event of a  
damaged muffler.  
WARNING: Bear in mind that:  
Engine exhaust fumes contain car-  
bon monoxide, which can cause  
carbon monoxide poisoning. For  
this reason you should not start or  
run the machine indoors, or any-  
where that is poorly ventilated.  
The exhaust fumes from the engine  
are hot and may contain sparks  
which can start a fire. Never start  
the machine indoors or near com-  
bustible material!  
WARNING: Never use a cutting  
attachment without an approved  
guard. See the section on “Technical  
data”. If an incorrect or faulty guard  
is fitted this can cause serious  
personal injury.  
Use of incorrectly wound trimmer line or an  
incorrect cutting attachment increases the  
level of vibration.  
WARNING: Overexposure to  
vibration can lead to circulatory  
damage or nerve damage in people  
who have impaired circulation.  
Cutting equipment  
A trimmer head is intended for trimming  
grass.  
Contact your doctor if you experi-  
ence symptoms of overexposure to  
vibration. Such symptoms include  
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,  
pricking, pain, loss of strength,  
changes in skin color or condition.  
These symptoms normally appear  
in the fingers, hands or wrists. The  
risk increases at low temperatures.  
Muffler  
Checking, maintaining and  
servicing the machine’s  
safety equipment  
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise  
level and to direct the exhaust gases away  
from the operator.  
IMPORTANT!  
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic  
converter designed to reduce harmful ex-  
haust gases.  
All servicing and repair work on the machine  
requires special training. This is especially  
true of the machine’s safety equipment. If  
your machine fails any of the checks de-  
scribed below you must contact your service  
agent. When you buy any of our products we  
guarantee the availability of professional re-  
pairs and service. If the retailer who sells  
your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask  
him for the address of your nearest service  
agent.  
For mufflers, it is very important that you fol-  
low the instructions on checking, maintain-  
ing, and servicing your machine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Cutting equipment  
Trimmer head  
This section describes how to choose and  
maintain your cutting equipment in order to:  
S Obtain maximum cutting performance.  
S Extend the life of cutting equipment.  
S Only use the recommended cutting at-  
tachments. See the section on “Technical  
data”.  
General rules:  
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 radially from the trimmer head and  
overcome the resistance of the grass  
being cleared.  
1. Only use cutting attachments with the  
guards we recommend! See the section  
on “Technical Data”.  
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.  
2. Check the cutting attachment for damage  
or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment  
should always be replaced.  
IMPORTANT!  
WARNING: Never use a machine  
with faulty safety equipment. The  
machine’s safety equipment must be  
checked and maintained as  
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound  
tightly and evenly around the drum, other-  
wise the machine will generate harmful  
vibration.  
described in this section.  
If your machine fails any of these  
checks contact your service agent to  
get it repaired.  
WARNING: 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 work on it.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
S CAUTION! Do not use the machine  
unless you are able to call for help in  
the event of an accident.  
S
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by  
shortening the trimmer line to 4--4 1/2 inches  
(10--12 cm) and reducing the engine speed.  
2. 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.  
S When trimming you should use less than  
full throttle so that the trimmer line lasts  
longer and to reduce the wear on the  
trimmer head.  
Clearing  
3. Make sure you can move and stand safely.  
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.  
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. CAUTION! This technique  
increases the wear on the trimmer line.  
4. Switch off the engine before moving to  
another area.  
5. Never put the machine down with the engine  
running.  
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.  
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.  
Cutting  
WARNING: Sometimes branches  
or grass get caught between the  
guard and cutting attachment.  
Always stop the engine before  
cleaning.  
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.  
Grass trimming 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 S Do not allow the trimmer head to con--  
stantly come into contact with the ground

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Sweeping  
WARNING: Neither the operator  
of the machine nor anyone else may  
attempt to remove the cut material  
while the engine is running or the  
trimmer line is rotating, as this can  
result in serious injury. Stop the  
engine and trimmer head before you  
remove material that has wound  
around the drive 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 burned if you touch it.  
S The fan effect 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.  
WARNING: Watch out for thrown  
objects. Always wear eye protection.  
Never lean over the cutting attach-  
ment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc.  
can be thrown up into the eyes  
causing blindness or serious injury.  
Keep unauthorized persons at a dis-  
tance. Children, animals, onlookers  
and helpers should be kept outside  
the safety zone of 50 feet (15 meters).  
Stop the machine immediately if  
anyone approaches.  
S When cutting and sweeping you should  
use full throttle to obtain the best results.

FUEL HANDLING  
S Always start by flling half the amount of the  
Fuel mixture  
gasoline to be used. Then add the entire  
amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture.  
Add the remaining amount of gasoline.  
S Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly  
before filling the machine’s fuel tank.  
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with  
a two--stroke engine and must always be  
run using a mixture of gasoline and two--  
stroke engine oil. It is important to accu-  
rately 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 drastical-  
ly affect the ratio of the mixture.  
WARNING: Always ensure  
there is adequate ventilation when  
handling fuel.  
Gasoline  
S Do not mix more than one month’s sup-  
ply of fuel at a time.  
S If the machine is not used for some time,  
the fuel tank should be emptied and  
cleaned.  
CAUTION! Always use high quality  
unleaded gasoline.  
WARNING: The catalytic con-  
verter muffler gets very hot during  
and after use. This also applies  
during idling. Be aware of the fire  
hazard, especially when working  
near flammable substances and/or  
vapors.  
S This eniiiioperate on  
unleaded gasoline.  
Fueling  
S The lowest recommended octane rating  
is 87. If you run the engine on lower oc-  
tane rating than 87, “knocking” can oc-  
cur. This leads to an increased engine  
temperature, which can result in a seri-  
ous engine breakdown.  
WARNING: Taking the following  
precautions, will lessen the risk of  
fire:  
S When working at continuous high revs a  
higher octane rating is recommended.  
Do not smoke or place hot objects  
near fuel.  
Two--stroke oil  
S For great results and performance use  
HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil, which is  
specially formulated for our two--stroke  
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).  
Always shut off the engine before  
refueling.  
Always stop the engine and let it  
cool for a few minutes before refu-  
elling.  
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.  
When refueling, open the fuel cap  
slowly so that any excess pressure  
is released gently.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after  
refueling.  
Always move the machine away  
from the refueling area before  
starting.

MAINTENANCE  
The owner is responsible for the perfor-  
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.  
mance of all required maintenance as  
defined in the operator’s manual.  
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.  
Idle Speed  
Screw--T  
WARNING: 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.  
WARNING: The complete clutch,  
clutch cover, and shaft must be  
fitted before the machine is started,  
otherwise parts could come loose  
and cause personal injury.  
Function  
Unit/Maintenance Safety  
Disconnect the spark plug before perform-  
ing maintenance, except carburetor adjust-  
ments.  
S The carburetor governs the engine’s  
speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel  
are mixed in the carburetor.  
Muffler  
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.  
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic  
converter designed to reduce harmful ex-  
haust gases.  
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.  
Rec. idle speed:  
See “Technical data” section.  
Recommended max. speed:  
See “Technical data” section.  
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.  
WARNING: If the idle speed  
cannot be adjusted so that the cut-  
ting attachment stops, contact your  
dealer/service workshop. Do not use  
the machine until it has been cor-  
rectly adjusted or repaired.  
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. If the mesh is fre-  
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.  
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.

MAINTENANCE  
0.024(0.6 mm)  
Muffler bolts  
Spark arrestor mesh  
CAUTION! Never use a machine that has  
a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler  
bolts are tight.  
Two--piece shaft  
WARNING: Mufflers fitted with  
catalytic converters get very hot  
during use and remain so for some  
time after stopping. This also ap-  
plies at idle speed. Contact can re-  
sult in burns to the skin. Remember  
the risk of fire!  
The drive shaft end in the lower shaft  
should be lubricated with grease every 30  
hours. There is a risk that the drive shaft  
ends (splined coupling) will seize if they  
are not lubricated regularly.  
WARNING: The inside of the  
muffler contain chemicals that may  
be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with  
these elements in the event of a  
damaged muffler.  
WARNING: Bear in mind that:  
Engine exhaust fumes contain car-  
bon monoxide, which can cause  
carbon monoxide poisoning. For  
this reason you should not start or  
run the machine indoors, or any-  
where that is poorly ventilated.  
The exhaust fumes from the engine  
are hot and may contain sparks  
which can start a fire. Never start  
the machine indoors or near com-  
bustible material!  
Air filter  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to  
remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:  
S Carburetor malfunctions  
S Starting problems  
Spark plug  
S Loss of engine power  
S Unnecessary wear to engine parts  
S Excessive fuel consumption  
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.  
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.  
CAUTION! Always use the recommended  
spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark  
plug can damage the piston/cylinder.

If any emissions related part on your engine

VARNA cannot deny warranty solely for the  
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure  
the performance of all scheduled mainte-  
nance. As the small off--road engine owner,  
you should be aware that HUSQVARNA  
may deny you warranty coverage if your  
small off--road engine or a part of it has  
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper main-  
tenance, unapproved modifications, or the  
use of parts not made or approved by the  
original equipment manufacturer. You are  
responsible for presenting your small off--  
road engine to a HUSQVARNA authorized  
repair center as soon as a problem exists.

ing your warranty rights and responsibilities,

ure of a warranted part still under warranty.

All failures caused by abuse, neglect, or  
improper maintenance are not covered.

grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.

of warranted parts caused by the use of  
add--on or modified parts.  
HOW TO FILE A CLAIM:

warranty rights and responsibilities, you
