PRESENTATION

Dear customer!

Thank you for choosing a Husqvarna product!

It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. A purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and services. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorised dealers, ask him for the address of your nearest service workshop.

This operator’s manual is a valuable document. Make sure it is always at hand at the work place. 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.

More than 300 years of innovation

Husqvarna AB is a Swedish company based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Charles XI ordered the construction of a factory for production of muskets. At that time, the foundation was already laid for the engineering skills behind the development of some of the world's leading products in areas such as hunting weapons, bicycles, motorcycles, domestic appliances, sewing machines and outdoor products.

Husqvarna is the global leader in outdoor power products for forestry, park maintenance and lawn and garden care, as well as cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction and stone industries.

Features

Values such as high performance, reliability, innovative technology, advanced technical solutions and environmental considerations distinguish Husqvarna's products.

Some of the unique features of your product are described below.

4 – English

SmartCarb™

Built-in automatic filter compensation maintains high power and reduces fuel consumption.

Dura Starter™

Dust sealed starter unit, where the return spring and the pulley bearing are sealed which makes the starter virtually maintenance free and even more reliable.

X-Torq®

The X-Torq® engine provides a more accessible torque for a wider range of speeds which results in maximum cutting capacity. X-Torq® reduces the fuel consumption with up to 20% and the emissions with up to 60%.

EasyStart

The engine and starter are designed to ensure quick and easy starting of the machine. Reduces the pull resistance in the starter cord with up to 40%. (Reduces the compression during starting.)

Air purge

When you push the air purge diaphragm, fuel is pumped through to the carburettor. Fewer pulls are required for starting, meaning the machine becomes easier to start.

Efficient vibration damping system

Efficient vibration dampers spare arms and hands.

Large cutting depth

Gives a cutting depth of 260 mm (10”) which is double the depth compared to traditional blades. Cuts can be made efficiently from one side.
