Cutting Equipment - Husqvarna 327PT5S Operator's Manual

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark
arrestor screen this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked
screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic
!
converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping.
This also applies at idle speed. Contact
can result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
!
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
WARNING! Bear in mind that:
!
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible material!
Harness

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cutting equipment

This section describes how you can achieve maximum
clearing capacity and extend the life of the cutting
attachment through correct maintenance and using the
right type of cutting attachment.
• Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
• Keep the chain's cutting teeth properly
sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the
recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly
sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.
• Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended raker
gauge. Too large a clearance increases the risk of
kickback.
• Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
• Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and
properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is
more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the
bar, chain and drive sprocket.
