•
Always use new unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 90 RON (87 AKI) and with less
than 27% ethanol concentration (E27).
• Use gasoline with a higher octane number if you
frequently use the product at continuously high
engine speed.
• Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline/oil
mixture.
• Use only the two-stroke engine oil of high quality,
especially HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil. Use only
the oil of an air cooled engine.
• Mixture ratio 50:1 (2%).
• Oil of low quality and high oil/fuel ratio can
decrease the lifetime of catalytic converters.
• Speak to your dealer when you select an oil.
• If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available, you
can use another two-stroke oil of good quality that
is intended for air cooled engines. Contact your
dealer when you select oil.
• If you cannot adjust the idle speed to make the
drill attachment stop, speak to your service
center. Do not use the product until the product is
correctly adjusted or repaired.

• Push the stop switch to stop the engine.
To start a warm engine
The machine can cause serious personal injury.
Read the safety instructions carefully. Learn how
to use the machine.
Do not touch the tool without first stop the engine.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Ensure that no-one comes closer than 5 m while
you are working.
Never allow anyone else to use the machine
without first ensuring that they have read and
understood the contents of the operator’s manual.
Always ensure you have a safe and stable
working position.
Always hold the machine with both hands.
Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.
Make sure that your hands and feet do not come
near the drill attachment when the engine is running.
Start drilling with half-throttle, and gradually
increase the engine speed so that the drill may
get into the ground smoothly.
Always turn off the engine when you have
finished drilling.
If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur
stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the
spark plug cap from the spark plug. Check that
the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
Drilling into or contact with electrical cables or
wires can lead to death or serious body injury.
The machine is not electrically insulated. To
reduce the risk of electrocution, always check for
underground pipes, cables and wires before
drilling. Contact your local utility company or
locator service for information regarding cable
and pipe locations. If necessary, confirm the
actual locations by use of devices such as cable
detectors and by carefully digging trenches.
Striking something hard in the earth, such as
rocks or tree roots, may cause the drill to come to
a sudden stop. This can lead to a reacting motion
on the auger. And the brake lever will touch the
user’s leg, then the drill will be stopped.

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.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.
Make sure the drill attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Always wear heavy gloves when replacing the drill
bits.
Use only original spare parts for repairs.

1. Make sure that the muffler is not damaged.
2. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to
the product.
To adjust the carburetor
The basic carburetor settings are adjusted during
testing at the factory. Adjustment must be carried
out by a trained technician.
To check the air cleaner
• After every 25 hours of operation, please remove
the air cleaner cover and inspect the air cleaner. If
it is too dirty, wash it carefully in warm water
containing a neutral detergent, and put it back to
its original position after drying it thoroughly.
• If the air cleaner is distorted or damaged, please
replace it with a new one.
• If the air cleaner is blocked, the efficiency of the
engine will be reduced. In addition, the engine
interior will suffer abnormal wear if it is operated
without filter or if continually operated with a
distorted or damaged filter.
To check the fuel filter
• After every 25 hours of operation, empty the fuel
tank, detach the fuel filter from the tank, and
remove all dirt. If the filter is too clogged, please
replace it with a new one.
• If the fuel filter is clogged, the engine speed may
be limited or speed fluctuations may occur.
• If the engine is operated without a fuel filter, dirt
will accumulate in the carburetor and cause it to
malfunction
To check the muffler
11
WARNING: Do not use a product that has
a defective muffler. Always replace a
defective muffler.
WARNING: Risk of burn or fire. Mufflers
with catalytic converters get very hot
during operation.
WARNING: Risk of fire. The muffler
decreases the noise level and identifies
the exhaust gases from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain
sparks.
CAUTION: The spark arrester screen must
be replaced if it is damaged. Do not use a
product if the spark arrester screen on the
muffler is missing or defective.
CAUTION: If the spark arrester screen is
blocked, the product will be too hot. This
will cause damage to the cylinder and
piston.

Check the clutch, clutch springs and the clutch
drum for wear. Replace if it is necessary.
Clean the muffler.
Replace the spark plug. Make sure that the
spark plug is assembled with a suppressor.

To check the cooling system
The product has a cooling system to keep the work
temperature low.
• When checking the product to make sure that it is
in good condition before using it, check the area
around the muffler and remove any staffs that
attached, in case the muffler is overheated or even
the engine catch on fire.
• Check the intake air cooling vent and the area
around the cylinder cooling fins for blockage every
25 hours of use, in case of engine overheat or
even product failure. Note that it is necessary to
remove the upper cover and the lower cover in
order to be able to view the upper part of the
cylinder.
To adjust the idle speed
• Make sure that the air filter is clean. The drill
attachment must not rotate in correct idle speed.
• Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment
screw T which is identified with "T" mark.
• The idle speed is correct when the engine operates
smoothly in all positions. The idle speed must be
below the speed when the drill attachment starts
to turn.
To check the gearbox
During normal use, disassembly the relef valve (A)
every 50 hours to check whether there is still grease
in the gearbox, and the grease in the gearbox must
be replaced every 100 hours.
• The spark plug condition is influenced by: a)
Incorrect carburettor adjustment. b) An incorrect
fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). c)
A dirty air filter.
• Do not touch the spark plug with your bare hands
immediately after operation, as there is the risk of
burns due to high temperature.
• If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or
runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark
plug first before taking any further action.
• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that
the correct electrode gap is 0.6 to 0.7mm.
• The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.
1. Turn the idle adjustment screw clockwise until
the drill attachment starts to turn.
2. Turn the idle adjustment screw counterclockwise
until the drill attachment stops.
To check the spark plug
12
WARNING: Never touch the cylinder,
muffler, or spark plug with your bare
hands immediately after stopping the
engine. The engine can become very hot
when in operation, and doing so could
result in severe burns.
WARNING: A dirty or blocked cooling
system causes overheating. It causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
WARNING: If the idle speed cannot be
adjusted so that the drill attachment
stops, speak to the distributor or the
service center. Do not use the product
until it is correctly adjusted or repaired.
CAUTION: Always use the recommended
spark plug type. Incorrect spark plug type
can cause damage to the product.
