• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
• Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the refuelling
point before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
- If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow
remaining fuel to evaporate.
- If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
• Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Always use a Husqvarna fuel container with an anti-spill
valve.
WARNING! Bear in mind the risk of fire,

explosion and inhaling fumes. Stop the
engine before fuelling. Do not fill so that the
fuel runs over. Wipe up all spillage on the
ground and machine. If you spill fuel on
yourself or your clothes. Change your
clothes. Move the machine at least 3 metres
away from the refuelling area before starting.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Machine' ' ' ' s safety equipment
This section describes the machine's safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the "What is
what?" section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.
WARNING! Never use a machine that has
!
faulty safety equipment! Carry out the
inspection, maintenance and service
routines listed in this section.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation
easier.
The machine's vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine's handle unit.
The engine body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated
from the handles by vibration damping units.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Muffler
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
!
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
WARNING! 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!
