Spark plug
The condition of the spark plug
is affected by:
• An incorrect carburettor
setting.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too
much or faulty oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits
on the spark plug electrode
that may result in malfunction
or starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly while idling always check the spark plug first before
taking any other action.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check
that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be
changed after about one month of operation or earlier if
necessary.
NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An
incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.
Angle gear
The angle gear is filled
a sufficient quantity of grease
at the factory. However, before
using the machine you should
check that the angle gear is
filled to 3/4 with grease. Use
HUSQVARNA special grease.
Normally, the grease does not
need to be changed except
when repairs are carried out.
MAINTENANCE
Lubricating the flexible drive axle
Inside the edger's drive shaft
is a flexible drive axle. The
flexible drive axle should be
regularly lubricated after 30
0,5 mm
hours of operation. Loosen the
two screws on the angle gear
and remove it. The flexible
drive axle is easily removed
from the shaft by taking a firm
grip on the axle end. Lubricate
the flexible drive axle over its
entire length and reinsert it in
the shaft. Turn the axle while
inserting it so that it correctly
engages in the clutch. Replace
the angle gear on the drive
axle shaft and tighten the two
screws.
Adjusting the edger's cutting depth
The cutting depth should be
adjusted before starting work.
• Loosen the locking handle
(A) and rotate the guard by
moving the locking knob
forwards or backwards. If the
locking handle is moved
forwards (from the machine)
the cutting depth is
increased. If the locking
handle is moved backwards
(towards the machine) the
cutting depth is reduced.
• Adjust the cutting depth.
• Lock the locking handle.

A
WARNING!
Always bear the machine on the right side of
the body. Always wear protective glasses,
long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when
using the machine. Observe your
surroundings, ensure people and animals do
not come in the immediate vicinity or can be
hit by thrown objects. Apply full throttle
before the blade starts to work on the soil.
