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 Huskvarna 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 over 300 years of continuous operation, 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 first 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. We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and construction industry.

Your purchase 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 authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.

It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operator′s 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 ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer gets the operator′s manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.

235, 240 specifications

The Husqvarna 235 and 240 chainsaws are compact, lightweight power tools designed for homeowners and occasional users seeking reliability and performance. Known for their ease of use and versatility, both models are ideal for tasks such as pruning, cutting firewood, and clearing small trees.

One of the main features of the Husqvarna 235 and 240 is their X-Torq engine technology. This innovation reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% while also cutting emissions by approximately 75%. This not only makes the chainsaws environmentally friendly but also saves users on fuel costs over time. The engine's design also enhances torque, providing ample power for cutting through wood efficiently.

Both models come equipped with an inertia-activated chain brake, enhancing safety by preventing unwanted chain movement in case of a kickback. The chain brake is a critical feature for novice users, promoting confidence while operating the chainsaw. This focus on safety extends to the easy-to-reach throttle lockout and combined choke/stop control, allowing for simpler starting procedures.

The Husqvarna 235 and 240 feature an adjustable oil pump, which enables users to control the oil flow to the chain according to their specific needs. This functionality not only prolongs the life of the chain and bar but also helps maintain cutting performance, ensuring smoother operation and reduced wear.

These chainsaws also have ergonomic designs, with comfortable handles that minimize vibrations and allow for prolonged use without fatigue. The lightweight structure makes them easily maneuverable, which is particularly beneficial for tasks that require precision casing or reaching difficult areas.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the Tool-less chain tensioning system. This feature allows users to adjust the chain tension quickly and without the need for additional tools, simplifying maintenance and enhancing user experience.

Overall, the Husqvarna 235 and 240 chainsaws are excellent choices for homeowners seeking reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use tools for light to moderate cutting tasks. With advanced features like X-Torq technology, safety mechanisms, and user-friendly designs, they represent a valuable addition to any gardening or outdoor toolkit.
