For Husqvarna Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983
Identification
The symbol "G" means the saw is equipped
with electrically heated front and rear handles.
The required electric power is produced by a
generator located behind the flywheel. This
system requires no maintenance and is con-
trolled by an ON/OFF switch on the right side
of the saw.

Checking the Switch

Remove lead from switch. Connect ohmmeter
to crankcase (1) and lead connector (2). Slide
switch to "ON" and then "OFF" position. When
the switch is in the "ON" position the needle
should move. When the switch is in the "OFF"
position the needle should show no movement.
Handle Element
Oxidation of lead connections and rear socket
are common causes of element failure. Clean
elements as needed.
