ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and requires no adjustment for most fabric weights.

However, if you choose to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn the presser adjusting screw with a coin.

For sewing very heavy fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise, and for thin fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.

C10, C20 specifications

Husqvarna, a leading brand in outdoor power equipment, has made significant strides in the chainsaw market with the introduction of the C20 and C10 models. These chainsaws are designed for both professional users and enthusiasts, offering a blend of power, efficiency, and innovative features tailored to meet various cutting needs.

The Husqvarna C20 chainsaw stands out with its robust 20-inch bar, making it ideal for felling larger trees and cutting firewood. It is powered by a reliable 50cc engine that delivers impressive torque, allowing for faster cutting speeds and reduced fatigue during extended use. The C20 is equipped with Husqvarna's X-Torq engine technology, which reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions without compromising performance. This feature not only helps the environment but also provides users with longer running times between fuel refills.

Additionally, the C20 incorporates an easy start system that minimizes pull resistance on the starter cord, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. The air purge function ensures the carburetor remains primed, further enhancing starting efficiency. For safety, the chainsaw includes a chain brake that activates in case of kickback, protecting the user from potential injuries.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna C10 is designed for lighter-duty tasks, featuring a 16-inch bar and a slightly smaller engine. This model excels in ease of handling, making it a perfect choice for homeowners and those new to chainsaw operation. The C10 incorporates many of the same technologies as its big brother, including the X-Torq engine, ensuring that it is both efficient and environmentally friendly.

Both models come equipped with adjustable oil pumps, allowing users to customize the oil flow to the chain based on their specific cutting conditions. This feature not only prolongs bar and chain life but also enhances cutting performance. Furthermore, the ergonomic design of the handles contributes to comfortable operation during prolonged use, reducing strain on the user's hands and arms.

In summary, the Husqvarna C20 and C10 chainsaws bring powerful performance, innovative technology, and user-friendly features to the market. Whether you need a heavy-duty tool for professional tasks or a lighter chainsaw for home use, Husqvarna combines efficiency and safety to deliver reliable equipment that stands the test of time.
