FUEL HANDLING
•Clean around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can
disrupt operations.
•Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before filling the tank.
Petrol
NOTE!
Always use an oil-mixed
quality petrol (at least 90
octane). If your machine is
equipped with a catalytic
converter, (see “technical
data”) an unleaded, oil
mixed quality petrol should
always be used. A leaded
petrol will destroy the
catalytic converter.
•The lowest recommended
octane rating is 90. If you
run the engine on a petrol
with a lower octane rating
than 90 so-called
“knocking“can occur.
This leads to an increased
engine temperature,
which can result in a
serious engine
breakdown.
•When working at
continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is
recommended.
WARNING!
Always provide good ventilation when
handling fuel.
!
!
Fuelling
WARNING!
The following precautions reduce the risk
of fire:
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat
in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel
when the engine is running. Always stop
the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly
when fuelling so that any over pressure is
released slowly. Tighten the fuel cap
carefully after refuelling. Always move the
machine from the fuelling place before
starting.
!WARNING!
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use. This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when handling the saw near
flammable substances or vapours.
Mixture
•Always mix petrol and oil in a clean container intended for
petrol.
•Always start by filling half the quantity of petrol required.
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of petrol.
•Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the
machine‘s fuel tank.
•Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.
•If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
NOTE!
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must
always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture
when mixing small amounts of fuel.
Fuel
Two-stroke oil
•For the best results use
HUSQVARNA two-
stroke oil, which has been
specially produced for
HUSQVARNA’s small,
two-stroke engines.
Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%).
•If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available you can
use a high quality two-stroke oil intended for air cooled
engines. Contact your dealer when selecting an oil.
Mixing ratio: 1:33 (3%).
•Never use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled out-
board motors, so-called outboard motor oil.
•Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Carburettor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufac-
tured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak perform-
ance and producing the least amount of harmful emissions
after break in, have your authorized servicing dealer, who has
a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjust your carburet-
tor for optimum operating conditions.
Basic setting
•The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at
the factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal
setting and should be kept during the machine’s first
working hours. Thereafter the carburettor should be finely
adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled
technician.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves while the
engine is idling the T-screw should be turned anti-clockwise
until the cutting attachment stops.
Recommended idling speed is: 2 700 rpm.
Recommended max. speed: See “Technical data”.
WARNING!
If the idling speed cannot be adjusted so
that the cutting attachment stops,
contact your service workshop. Do not
use the machine until it has been
correctly adjusted or repaired.
!
MAINTENANCE
Operation
•The carburettor governs
the engine’s speed via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed
in the carburettor. The
air/fuel mixture is
adjustable. To take
advantage of the engine’s
optimal output the
adjustment must be
correct.
•The setting of the
carburettor means that
the engine is adapted to
local conditions, for
example, the climate,
altitude, petrol and the
type of 2-stroke oil.
•The carburettor is equipped with three adjustment possi-
bilities:
H = High speed needle
L = Low speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster screw
•The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by
the throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.
Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture
(less fuel) and turning them anti-clockwise gives a richer
fuel mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs
while a richer mixture give less revs.
•The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the
engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher
idling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower
idling speed.
WARNING!
The complete clutch cover and gearbox
must be fitted before the machine is
started, otherwise the clutch may come
loose and cause personal injury.
!
Adjusting the idle speed, T
Adjust the idle speed with
screw T, if it is necessary to
readjust. First turn the idle
speed adjusting screw T
clockwise until the cutting
attachment begins to move.
Then turn the screw
anticlockwise until the
cutting attachment stops.
The idle speed is correctly
adjusted when the engine
runs smoothly in any
position. There should also
be a good margin to the
engine speed at which the
cutting attachment begins
to move.
CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed
setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly
adjusted or repaired.
Correctly adjusted carburettor
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little
at max. speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachment must not
move at idling. If the setting of the low speed needle L is too
lean it may cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If
the setting of the high speed needle H is too lean it causes
lower power = less capacity, poor acceleration and/or damage
to the engine.
An excessively rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and
H gives acceleration problems or too low working speed.

Cooling system
To maintain as low operat-
ing temperature as possible
the engine is equipped with
a cooling system.
The cooling system consists
of:
1. An air intake on the
starter unit.
2. Cooling fins on the
flywheel.
3. Cooling fins on the
cylinder
4. Cylinder cover (leads
cold air onto the
cylinder).
Clean the cooling system
using a brush at least once a
week, in difficult conditions
more often.
A dirty or blocked cooling
system leads to the engine
overheating resulting in
damage to the cylinder and
piston.

MAINTENANCE
Muffler
NOTE!
Some mufflers are fitted with catalytic converters. See “Techni-
cal data”to find out if your machine is equipped with a
catalytic converter.
The muffler is designed to
dampen the noise level and
to direct the exhaust fumes
away from the user. The
exhaust fumes are hot and
can contain sparks, which
can result in fire if the
exhaust fumes are directed
towards a dry and inflam-
mable material. Some
mufflers are equipped with a
special spark arrest screen. If
your machine is fitted with
this type of screen it should
be cleaned regularly. This is
done using a wire brush. On
mufflers without a catalytic
converter the screen should
be cleaned weekly, or
replaced if necessary. On
mufflers fitted with a
catalytic converter the
screen should be checked
and cleaned monthly. If the
screen is damaged it should
be replaced. If the screen is
frequently blocked, this can
be a sign that the function
of the catalytic converter is
impaired. Contact your
dealer to inspect the muffler.
A blocked screen will cause
the engine to overheat
resulting in damage to the
cylinder and piston. Also see
under “Maintenance”.
NOTE!
Never use a machine with a
defective muffler.
!WARNING!
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters
become extremely hot during use and
after stopping. This also applies at idling
speeds. Contact can result in burns to
the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!

Air filter
The air filter (A) should be
cleaned regularly removing
dust and dirt to avoid:
•carburettor malfunction
•starting problems
•reduced engine power
•unnecessary wear to
engine parts
•abnormal fuel consump-
tion
Clean the filter after every
25 hours or more regularly
if operating conditions are
exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Dismantle the air filter cover (B) and remove the air filter.
Wash in clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry
before refitting.
An air filter used for a long period of time can never be cleaned

Spark plug
The condition of the spark plug is affected by:
•An incorrect carburettor setting.
•An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or faulty oil).
•A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrode that
may result in malfunction or starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on
power, difficult to start or
runs poorly while idling
always check the spark plug
first before taking other
action.
The spark plug is accessed
from under the cylinder
cover, which is removed by
loosening the four bolts (A).
If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and at the same time
check that the electrode gap
is 0.5 mm. The spark plug
should be changed after
about one month of
