Before using your new Power cutter

Read the Operator’s Manual carefully.

Check the assembly and adjustment of the cutting blade, see chapter ”Assembly”.

Start the engine and check the carburettor settings. See chapter ”Maintenance”, section ”Carburetor”. When adjusted correctly the cutting blade should not rotate when idling. Setting the idling speed is described in the Operator’s Manual. Adjust the speed according to these instructions. Do not use the power cutter if the idling speed is not correctly adjusted!

Let your Husqvarna dealer check the power cutter and carry out essential adjustments and repairs.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or individual.
