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.The location was logical,
since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna
River to create the water-powered plant. During over 300
years of continuous operation, 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. We develop, manufacture and market
high quality motor driven products for forestry and
gardening as well as for building and construction
industry.
Your purchase 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
authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest
servicing dealer.
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 (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.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product
development and therefore reserves the right to modify
the design and appearance of products without prior
notice.
