Page 5: Intr Oduction
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 Huskvarna River, for production of muskets. -

Page 7: General Safety Preca Utions
GENERAL SAFETY PRECA UTIONS Bef ore using a new chain saw • Please read this manual carefully. • Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and adjusted. See instructions under the heading Assembly. • Refuel and start the chain saw. See the instructions under the headings Fuel Handling and Starting and Stopping. -

GENERAL SAFETY PRECA UTIONS possib le. Your dealer, forestry school or your library can provide information about which training materials and courses are available. Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and technology - improvements that increase your safety and efficiency. - Page 9 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive system (D) (clutch drum). • The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if you lose grip of the front handle.
-
Page 10: Chain Catcher
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Will my hand always activate the chain brake during a kickback? No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. -
Page 11: Cutting Equipment
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level. WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. -
Page 12: Sharpening Your Chain And Adjusting Depth Gauge Setting
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment, you should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with a bar and chain combinations recommended by Husqvarna. See instructions under the heading Technical Data for a list of replacement bar and chain combinations we recommend. -
Page 13: Sharpening/Adjusting Depth Gauge Setting
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and produces long, thick chips or shavings. • The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B). -
Page 14: Lubricating Cutting Equipment
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Adjustment of depth gauge setting • The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively. - Page 15 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Filling with chain oil • All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable. • The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil. However, this safety feature requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as...
- Page 16 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Checking wear on cutting equipment Check the chain daily for: • Visible cracks in rivets and links. • Whether the chain is stiff. • Whether rivets and links are badly worn. Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points above.

Page 17: Assembly
Fitting the bar and chain WARNING! Always wear gloves, when working with the chain. Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by moving the front hand guard towards the front handle. Remove the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover (chain brake). -
Page 18: Fuel Handling Fuel
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a higher octane is recommended. Environment fuel HUSQVARNA recommends the use of alkylate fuel or environmental fuel for four-stroke engines blended with two-stroke oil as set out below. Note that carburetor adjustment may be necessary when changing the type of fuel (see instructions under the heading Carburetor). -
Page 19: Fueling
Chain oil • We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good adhesion characteristics. • Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the bar and the chain. • It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature. -
Page 20: Fuel Safety
Fuel safety • Never refuel the machine while the engine is running. • Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil). • Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the refuelling point before starting it. -
Page 21: Starting And Stopping
Starting and stopping WARNING! Note the following before starting: Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries. Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting. -
Page 22: Starting And Stopping
STARTING AND STOPPING Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires and make repeated starting attempts. Immediately press and release the throttle when the engine starts. That will disengage the throttle latch. As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return to idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the throttle latch in order to avoid unnecessery wear on the clutch assembly. -
Page 23: Working Techniques
Before use: Check that the chain brake works correctly and is not damaged. Check that the rear right hand guard is not damaged. Check that the throttle lockout works correctly and is not damaged. Check that the stop switch works correctly and is not damaged. - Page 24 Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles. You should use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimizes the effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw under control.

over the chain saw and the position of the kickback zone. Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and chain use only combinations that are recommended by us. See instructions under the headings Cutting equipment and Technical data. -
Page 26: Tree Felling Technique
Cutting WARNING! Never attempt to cut logs while they are in a pile or when a couple of logs are lying together. Such procedures drastically increase the risk of kickback which can result in a serious or fatal injury. If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut should be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse or runners and cut individually. - Page 27 • Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem, this makes it more probably that the tree will break and start to fall before you expect it to. You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to make it fall in the direction you first intended.
-
Page 28: Freeing A Tree That Has Fallen Badly
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling hinge. The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in. All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling cut are badly placed. -
Page 29: How To Avoid Kickback
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension is released. Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has been released. How to avoid kickback WARNING! Kickback can happen very suddenly and violently; kicking the chain saw, bar and chain back at the user. If this happens when the chain is moving it can cause very serious, even fatal injuries. -

High speed jet H This chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that has a built-in fixed high speed jet. CAUTION! There is an integrated speed governor in the ignition that limits the maximum speed to 12,000 rpm. Adjusting the jet therefore has no effect on the maximum speed. -
Page 32: Throttle Lockout
Checking the brake trigger Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure the chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the instructions under the heading Start and stop. Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and thumbs around the handles. -
