SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Muffler • Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler. • Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine. • If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety instructions when using the hedge trimmer WARNING! The machine can cause serious personal injury. Read the safety instructions carefully. Learn how to use the machine. WARNING! Cutting tool. Do not touch the tool without first switching off the engine.
Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly. 10 – English Changing the hedge trimmer angle • Undo the knob. • Press the cutting head against the ground or some other solid object until the desired angle has been obtained.
English ASSEMBLY Fitting the cutting head It is important that the hedge trimmer is laid on a flat surface when you fit the cutting head. Otherwise the cutting head may not be fitted straight. 1 Fit the cutting head to the shaft. CAUTION! Make sure the drive shaft inside the shaft engages with the recess in the cutting head.
When the machine is new the engine oil should be changed after the first month or after 10 hours of operation. • For the best result and function use HUSQVARNA engin oil. • When HUSQVARNA engine oil is not available another high grade engine oil can be used.
STARTING AND STOPPING Check before starting • Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out. • Check the cutting attachment. Never use blades that are dull, cracked or damaged. • Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight.
Carburettor WARNING! The complete clutch cover and shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury. Function • The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable.
English MAINTENANCE Oiling the air filter Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the filter. You should therefore avoid skin contact. Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.
