lack of sleep, when suffering from drowsiness as a result 
of having taken cold medicine or at any other time when 
a possibility exists that your judgment might be impaired 
or that you might not be able to operate the product 
properly and in a safe manner.
2. When planning your work schedule, allow plenty of time
to rest. Limit the amount of time over which the product 
is to be used continuously to somewhere around 30 ~ 
40 minutes per session, and take 10 ~ 20 minutes of rest 
between work sessions. Also try to keep the total amount 
of work performed in a single day under 2 hours or less.

manner (See “USING THE PRODUCT”), Repetitive 
Stress Injury (RSI) could occur.
If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling of your

5 p.m. on weekends.
Check and follow the local regulations as to sound

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of 15 m (50 ft) of the person
using the product should be considered a hazardous 
area into which no one should enter. If necessary, yellow 
warning rope, warning signs should be placed around 
the perimeter of the area. When work is to be performed 
simultaneously by two or more persons, care should 
also be taken to constantly look around or otherwise 
check for the presence and locations of other people 
working so as to maintain a distance between each 
person sufficient to ensure safety.
2. Check the condition of working area to avoid any
accident by hitting hidden obstacles such as stumps, 
stones, cans, or broken glass.
 Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners leakage. Make 
sure that the cutting attachment properly installed and 
securely fastened.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders especially children, and animals at least
15 m (50 ft) away from the operating point. If you are 
approached, immediately stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch
mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to move 
as soon as the engine is started by putting the throttle 
into the start position. When starting the engine, place 
the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold 
it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting 
part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle 
when the engine starts.
Never place the throttle into the high-speed position
when starting the engine.
Never start the engine at the cutting attachment side.
3. After starting the engine, check to make sure that the
cutting attachment stops moving when the throttle is 
moved fully back to its original position. If it continues to 
move even after the throttle has been moved fully back, 
turn off the engine and take the unit to your authorized 
Husqvarna servicing dealer for repair.
USING THE PRODUCT
Cut only materials recommended by the manufacturer.
And use only for tasks explained in the manual.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands using your whole
hand. Place your feet slightly apart (slightly further apart 
than the width of your shoulders) so that your weight is 
distributed evenly across both legs, and always be sure 
to maintain a steady, even posture while working.
2. Maintain the speed of the engine at the level required to
perform cutting work, and never raise the speed of the 
engine above the level necessary.
3. If the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the engine
and check the whole unit. Do not use it until the trouble 
has been properly corrected.
4. Keep all parts of your body away from moving cutting
attachment and hot surfaces.
5. Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic
parts of the engine while the engine is in operation or 
immediately after shutting down the engine. Doing so 
could result in serious burns or electrical shock.
6. While operating the machine be always sure of a safe and
secure operating position especially when using steps or 
a ladder.
