The machine’s safety equipment  
This section describes the machine’s safety equipment, its  
function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to  
ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter “What is  
what” to locate where this equipment is positioned on your  
machine.)  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
• An edger used incorrectly or carelessly can become a  
dangerous tool, that can cause serious or fatal injury to  
the operator or others. It is extremely important that  
you read and understand the content of this manual.  
WARNING!  
Never use a machine with defective safety  
equipment. Follow the control, maintenance  
and service instructions described in this  
• When using an edger, personal protective equipment  
approved by the appropriate authorities must be used.  
Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the  
risk of accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of  
an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer  
for help when choosing protective equipment.  
!
section.  
WARNING!  
Remove your hearing protection as soon as  
you stop the engine, so that you can hear any  
noises or warning signals.  
1. Throttle trigger  
lock  
!
The throttle trigger lock is  
designed to prevent the throttle  
from accidentally being  
engaged. When the trigger  
lock (A) is pressed into the  
handle (= when you hold the  
handle) the throttle (B) is  
released.  
A
GLOVES  
Gloves should be worn when  
necessary, e.g., when assem-  
bling cutting equipment.  
When the grip on the handle is  
released the throttle and the  
throttle trigger lock return to  
their original positions. This  
takes place via two independ-  
ent return spring systems. This  
means that the throttle is  
automatically locked in the  
“idling” position.  
EAR PROTECTION  
Ear protection offering suffi-  
cient dampening effect should  
be used.  
B
EYE PROTECTION  
Blows from branches or  
objects thrown by the rotating  
cutting equipment can damage  
the eyes.  
2. Stop switch  
The stop switch should be  
used to stop the engine.  
BOOTS  
Use anti-slip and stable boots.  
"
CLOTHING  
Wear clothes made of a strong  
fabric and avoid loose clothing  
that can catch on shrubs and  
branches. Always wear heavy-  
duty long pants. Do not wear  
jewellery, shorts, sandals or go  
barefoot. Secure hair so it is  
above shoulder level.  
3. Cutting attachment  
guard  
This guard is intended to  
prevent objects from being  
thrown towards the operator  
and to protect the operator  
from unintentionel contact with  
the cutting attachment.  
FIRST AID KIT  
A first aid kit should be carried  
by operators of the edger.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
4. Vibration damping  
system  
5. Muffler  
The muffler is designed to give  
the lowest possible noise level  
and to direct the engine’s  
exhaust fumes away from the  
operator. Mufflers equipped  
with a catalytic converter are  
also designed to reduce the  
hazardous substances in the  
exhaust fumes.  
Your machine is equipped with  
a vibration damping system,  
which is designed to give as  
vibration-free and comfortable  
use as possible.  
The use of incorrect cutting  
equipment increases the level  
of vibration.  
In countries that have a warm  
and dry climate the risk of fire  
is obvious. We have therefore  
fitted certain mufflers with a  
spark arrest screen. Make sure  
that your muffler is fitted with  
this kind of screen.  
The machine’s vibration  
damping system reduces the  
transfer of vibrations between  
the engine unit/cutting equip-  
ment and the machine’s  
handle unit.  
It is extremely important that  
the instructions for checking,  
maintaining and servicing the  
muffler are followed. (See the  
section “Control, maintenance  
and service of the machine's  
safety equipment”).  
WARNING!  
Over exposure to vibrations can result in  
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons  
!
suffering with blood circulation problems.  
Seek medical attention if you experience  
physical symptoms that can be related to  
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of  
such symptoms are “numbness”, lack of  
feeling, “tickling”, “pricking”, “pain”, lack of  
or a reduction in normal strength, changes in  
the colour of the skin or its surfaces. These  
symptoms normally appear in the fingers,  
hands or wrists.  
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!  
!
!
WARNING!  
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters  
become extremely hot during use and after  
stopping. This also applies at idling speeds.  
Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be  
observant to the risk of fire!  
6. Cutting equipment  
The blade is designed and  
processed to withstand loads  
that edging of a lawn involves.  
7. Locking nut  
The locking nut secures  
the cutting equipment on  
the output shaft.

English – 13  
 
FUEL HANDLING  
Fuel mixture  
Mixture  
NOTE!  
The edger is fitted with two-stroke engines and must always be  
run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. To ensure the  
correct mixture proportions it is important to measure the  
quantity of oil accurately. When mixing small amounts of fuel  
small discrepancies in the amount of oil have a great bearing on  
the proportions of the fuel mixture.  
• Always mix petrol and oil in a clean container intended for  
petrol.  
• Always start by filling half the quantity of petrol required. Then  
add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Fill the  
remaining quantity of petrol.  
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the  
machine’s fuel tank.  
WARNING!  
Always provide good ventilation when  
handling fuel.  
!
• Do not mix fuel for more than max. one month's supply of fuel.  
• If the edger is not used for a long period of time, the fuel tank  
should be emptied and cleaned.  
Petrol  
WARNING!  
• Always use unleaded, oil  
mixed, quality petrol! (at least  
90 octane). Leaded petrol will  
destroy the catalytic  
converter and it will no longer  
serve its purpose.  
The catalytic converter muffler becomes very  
hot during and after use. This also applies  
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,  
especially when handling the saw near  
flammable substances or vapours.  
!
• The lowest recommended  
octane rating is 90. If you run  
the engine on a petrol with a  
lower octane rating than 90  
so-called “knocking” can  
occur. This leads to an  
increased engine  
temperature, which can result  
in a serious engine  
breakdown.  
Fuelling  
WARNING!  
The following precautions reduce the risk of  
!
fire:  
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat in  
the vicinity of the fuel.  
Never refuel when the engine is running.  
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a  
few minutes before refuelling.  
• When working at continuous  
high revs a higher octane  
rating is recommended.  
Open the fuel cap slowly when fuelling so that  
any over pressure is released slowly.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.  
Always move the machine from the fuelling  
area before starting.  
Two-stroke oil  
• For the best results use  
HUSQVARNA two stroke oil,  
which has been specially  
developed for 2-stroke  
engines. Mixing ratio 1:50  
(2%).  
• Clean around the fuel cap.  
Contamination in the tank can  
disrupt operations.  
• Ensure that the fuel is well  
mixed by shaking the  
container before filling the  
tank.  
• If HUSQVARNA two stroke  
oil is not available you can  
use a high quality two-stroke  
oil intended for air cooled  
engines. Contact your dealer  
when selecting an oil. Mixing  
ratio: 1:33 (3%).  
• Never use two-stroke oil  
intended for water cooled  
outboard motors, so-called  
outboard motor oil.

MAINTENANCE  
Basic setting  
Carburettor  
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and  
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful  
emissions.  
• The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at the  
factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting and  
should be kept during the machine’s first working hours.  
Thereafter the carburettor should be finely adjusted. Fine  
adjustment should be carried out by a skilled technician.  
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine  
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak  
performance and producing the least amount of harmful  
emissions after break in, have your authorized servicing  
dealer, who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to  
adjust your carburettor for optimum operating conditions.  
NOTE! If the blade rotates while the engine is idling the T screw  
should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting attachment  
stops.  
Rec. idling speed: 2 700 rpm.  
Rec. max speed: See ”Technical data”.  
WARNING!  
The complete clutch cover with shaft must  
be fitted before the machine is started,  
otherwise the clutch can become loose and  
cause personal injury.  
!
WARNING!  
If the idling speed cannot be adjusted so that  
the cutting attachment stops, contact your  
service workshop. Do not use the machine  
until it has been correctly adjusted or  
repaired.  
!
Operation  
• The carburettor governs  
the engine’s speed via the  
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed in  
the carburettor. The air/fuel  
mixture is adjustable. To  
take advantage of the  
Fine adjustment  
• When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should  
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried  
out by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling  
screw T and then the H-jet.  
engine’s optimal output the  
adjustment must be correct.  
Conditions  
• Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be clean  
and the air filter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburettor while a  
dirty air filter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when the  
filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious engine  
damage.  
• Turn the L and H needles carefully to the middle point  
between fully screwed in and fully screwed out.  
• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as  
damage can occur.  
• The setting of the  
carburettor means that the  
engine is adapted to local  
conditions, for example, the  
climate, altitude, petrol and  
the type of 2-stroke oil.  
• The carburettor is equipped  
with three adjustment  
possibilities:  
• Now start the machine as set out in the start instructions and  
run it warm for 10 minutes.  
L = Low speed needle  
H= High speed needle  
T = Idle speed adjuster  
screw  
NOTE! If the cutting equipment rotates/moves while idling the  
T screw should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting  
equipment stops.  
Low speed needle L  
Try to find the highest idling  
speed, turning the low speed  
needle L clockwise  
• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the  
throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.  
Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture  
(less fuel) and turning them anticlockwise gives a richer fuel  
mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs while a  
richer mixture give less revs.

speed has been found, turn  
the low speed needle L 1/4  
turn counter-clockwise.  
NOTE! If the cutting  
attachment rotates/moves in  
the idling position, turn the  
idling speed screw T counter-  
clockwise until the cutting  
attachment stops.  
• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the  
engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher  
idling speed while turning it anticlockwise gives a lower idling  
speed.

MAINTENANCE  
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
Final setting of the idling speed T  
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the machine  
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a  
little at max speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachment  
must not rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low  
speed needle L may cause starting difficulties and bad  
acceleration.  
A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power  
= less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the  
engine.  
Adjust the idling speed with  
the screw T, if it is necessary  
to readjust. First turn the idle  
speed adjusting screw T  
clockwise until the cutting  
attachment starts to rotate/  
move.  
Then turn, counter-clockwise  
until the cutting attachment  
stops. A correctly adjusted  
idle speed setting occurs  
when the engine runs  
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H  
gives acceleration problems or too low working speed.  
smoothly in every position. It  
should also be good margin to  
the rpm when the cutting  
attachment starts to rotate/  
move.  
CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed  
setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment  
stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly  
adjusted or repaired.  
High speed needle H  
The high speed needle H  
influences the power, speed,  
temperature and fuel  
consumption of the machine.  
A too lean adjusted high  
speed needle H (high speed  
needle H closed too much)  
gives overrevs and damages  
the engine. Do not let the  
machine run at full speed for  
more than 10 seconds.  
Turn the high speed needle  
very slowly clockwise until  
engine speed is reduced.  
Thereafter turn the high speed  
needle very slowly counter-  
clockwise and stop when the  
engine begins to run roughly.  
Then turn the high speed  
needle slowly the minimum  
amount clockwise until the  
engine runs smoothly.  
The high speed needle H is  
correctly set when the  
machine ”4-cycles” a little. If  
the machine ”whistles” the  
H
setting is too lean. If there is  
too much smoky exhaust gas  
at the same time as the  
machine ”4-cycles” much, the  
setting is too rich.  
NOTE! For optimum setting of the carburettor, contact a  
qualified servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at  
his disposal.

MAINTENANCE  
Muffler with catalytic converter  
Cooling system  
To maintain as low an  
operating temperature as  
possible the engine is  
equipped with a cooling  
system.  
A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter reduces the extent of  
the following substances in the exhaust fumes:  
Hydrocarbons (HC). Some hydrocarbons in gasoline and the  
exhaust are carcinogenic.  
Nitric oxides (NO). Irritating for the breathing air-ways.  
Aldehydes. The most common formaldehyde, is carcinogenic  
and causes hypersensitiveness.  
The cooling system consists of:  
4
1. An air intake on the starter  
unit.  
3
NOTE! The level of carbon monoxide is not reduced. This is an  
odourless and extremely poisonous substance. Therefore avoid  
exposure without good air circulation.  
2
2. Cooling fins on the  
flywheel.  
3. Cooling fins on the  
cylinder  
The muffler is designed to  
dampen the noise level and to  
direct the exhaust fumes away  
from the user. The exhaust  
fumes are hot and can contain  
sparks, which can result in fire  
if the exhaust fumes are  
directed towards a dry or  
inflammable material. Some  
mufflers are fitted with a  
special spark arrest screen. If  
your machine is fitted with this  
type of muffler then the screen  
should be cleaned at least  
once a week. This is done  
using a wire brush. If the

NOTE!  
Never use a machine with a

These factors cause deposits  
on the spark plug electrode  
that may result in malfunction  
or starting difficulties.  
WARNING!  
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters  
become extremely hot during use and after  
!
stopping. This also applies at idling speeds.  
Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be  
observant to the risk of fire!  
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.  
WARNING!  
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.  
The coating on/in the catalytic element can be  
hazardous to health if consumed. Wear  
protective gloves when carrying out service  
work on the catalytic converter.

MAINTENANCE  
Lubricating the flexible drive axle  
Air filter  
Inside the edger‘s drive shaft  
is a flexible drive axle. The  
flexible drive axle should be  
regularly lubricated after 30  
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.  
The air filter should be cleaned  
regularly removing dust and  
dirt to avoid:  
• carburettor malfunction  
• starting problems  
• reduced engine power  
• unnecessary wear to engine  
parts  
• abnormal fuel consumption  
Clean the filter after every 25  
hours or more regularly if  
operating conditions are  
exceptionally dusty.  
Cleaning the air filter  
Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in  
clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before  
refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never be  
cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the  
filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter  
must always be replaced.  
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter  
should be soaked in oil, see the section on “Oiling the air  
filter“.  
Oiling the air filter  
Adjusting the edger's cutting depth  
Always use HUSQVARNA  
filter oil, order no. 503 47 73-  
01. 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 the pour the  
filter oil over it. Knead the  
plastic bag to distribute the  
oil. Squeeze the excess oil  
out of the filter inside the  
plastic bag and pour off the  
excess before fitting the filter  
on the machine. Never use  
common engine oil. This  
would drain through the filter  
quite quickly and collect in the  
bottom.  
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  
A
increased. If the locking  
handle is moved backwards  
(towards the machine) the  
cutting depth is reduced.  
• Adjust the cutting depth.  
• Lock the locking handle.  
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.  
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.  
!
Normally, the grease does not  
need to be changed except  
when repairs are carried out.
