Dear Customer
,
Cong
ratulations 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 Husqvarna 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 the more than 300 years in existence, 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. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor-driven products for forestry and
gardening, as well as for the building and construction industry. Husqvarna
′
s aim is also to be at the front edge for
ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different
features to add to our products within these areas.
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very
long time to come. The purchase of one of our products 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 authorised dealers, ask for the
address of your nearest service workshop.
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 (usage, service, maintenance, etc), the life span and
the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that the operator
′
s manual
is passed on to the buyer.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
