Check that the chain and guide bar fit properly.
Fit the clutch cover and tighten the nut fingertight only.
Pull the chain a few turns around by hand and see to, that it can
move freely.

FUEl
AND
Oll
The power plant of this chain saw is a
twost.oke
engine,
that is run on a pet-
rol- and oil mixture of certain propor-
tions acc. to the
table.
Do not use but a twostroke oil of high
quaiity, e.g. Husqvarna Twostroke
Oil,
that is specially developed for chain
saws.
NOTE'
No extra oil is needed in' the petroi
du-
ring the running-in period of the chain
saw.
For lubricating the chain and guide bar
we recommend a chain lubricating oil
with good adhesive
properties.
During the wintertime at air temperatu-
res below O°C(32°F) some types of
chain lubricating oils are
viscous.
This
can cause overioading of the oil
pump,
which can result in damage of the
pump drive and pump parts. Under cold
weather conditions it is therefore ne-
cessary to use a
"wintergrade"
oil
which stavs fluent even when cold.
Concerning the Choice of oil and its
suitability at different air
temperatures,
please refer to your Husqvarna
dealer.

NOTE!
On no account waste oil should be used as this can damage the oil
pump.

As a rule the petroi mixture should be 1 part oil to 25 parts
petroi
(1:25 or 4%)
When using the special oil Husqvarna Twostroke Oil, this shall be
mixed 1 part oil to 50 parts petroi (1:50 or 2%).
