suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
3 Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing
in the way that might make you trip or lose your
balance.
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a
branch, nearby tree or some other object.
7 Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension.
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position
yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place
the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to
lose control. Both situations can cause serious
personal injury.
Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you

branches without first separating them. Only saw one
log or one piece at a time. Remove the cut pieces to
keep your working area safe.
4 Never use the chain saw above shoulder height
and try not to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use
the chain saw one-handed!
9 When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have
a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off
before leaving your chain saw for any length of time.

This chapter sets out working practices to reduce the risk

height from a rope and harness. While it may form the
basis of guidance and training literature, it should not be
regarded as a substitute for formal training.
General requirements working at height
Operators of tree service chainsaws working at height
from a rope and harness should never work alone. A
competent ground worker trained in appropriate
emergency procedures should assist them.
Operators of tree service chainsaws for this work should
be trained in general safe climbing and work positioning

Preparing to use the saw in the tree
The chain saw should be checked, fuelled, started and
warmed up by the ground worker and the chain brake
should be engaged before it is sent up to the operator in

top of the object downwards, is known as cutting on

WORKING TECHNIQUES
There are five important factors you should consider
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting
before making a cut:
the chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain
full throttle but be prepared for what might happen.
1 Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the
cut.
2 Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.
- If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about
2/3 of the way through the log.
3 Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any
other object during or after cutting.
- Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
4 Is there a risk of kickback?
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk
that it will split.
5 Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how
safely you can stand and move about?

approach as for cutting.

During tree maintenance work above ground level, the

WARNING! During critical felling
operations, hearing protectors should be
lifted immediately when sawing is
completed so that sounds and warning
signals can be heard.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter

through the trunk and the angle between the top cut and
bottom cut should be 45°.
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling
hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional
cuts and felling cut are badly placed.
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional
cut line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at
right angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the
diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut
and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See the
Technical data section to find out which lengths of bar are
recommended for your saw.
Felling cut
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree
and it must be perfectly horizontal. Try to take a correct
position so you are able to cut on the pull stroke.
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger

much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will
come into contact with the tree.
Set the spike bumper (if one is fitted) just behind the felling
hinge. Use full throttle and advance the chain/bar slowly
into the tree. Make sure the tree-top does not start to
move in the opposite direction to your intended felling
direction.
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
Preparations:
Work out which side is in tension and where the point of
maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was
bent even more).
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the
trunk diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the
felling hinge.
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated
situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain
saw and use a winch.

How to avoid kickback

saw, bar and chain back at the user. If
this happens when the chain is moving it
can cause very serious, even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and that you can avoid
it by taking care and using the right
working technique.
What is kickback?
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden
reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,
known as the kickback zone, touches an object.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards
and upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw
may move in a different direction depending on the way it
was being used when the kickback zone of the bar
touched the object.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar
touches an object.

shaking it.
Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use
of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use
the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
A HUSQVARNA chain saw can be equipped with different
types of air filter according to working conditions, weather,
season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.

MAINTENANCE
Adjustment of the oil pump
The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by
turning the screw with a screwdriver. Turning the screw
clockwise will increase the oil flow, turning it anticlockwise
will reduce the oil flow.
The oil tank should become nearly empty by time fuel is
used up. Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when
refueling the saw.
WARNING! The engine must not be
running when making adjustments.
!
Cooling system
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Air guide plate.
3 Fins on the flywheel.
4 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
5 Clutch cover

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.

EINLEITUNG
Sehr geehrter Kunde!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem Kauf eines Husqvarna-Produkts!Husqvarnas Geschichte reicht bis ins Jahr 1689
zurück, als König Karl XI eine Fabrik an den Ufern des Flusses Huskvarna errichten ließ, in der Musketen gefertigt
werden sollten.Die Lage am Huskvarna bot sich an, da der Fluss zur Erzeugung von Wasserkraft verwendet wurde und
so als Wasserkraftwerk diente.In den mehr als 300 Jahren seit dem Bestehen des Husqvarna-Werks wurden unzählige
Produkte hergestellt, angefangen von Holzöfen bis hin zu modernen Küchenmaschinen, Nähmaschinen, Fahr- und
Motorrädern usw.1956 wurde der erste Motorrasenmäher auf den Markt gebracht, gefolgt von der Motorsäge 1959, und
in diesem Bereich ist Husqvarnas auch heute tätig.
Husqvarna ist gegenwärtig einer der weltführenden Hersteller von Forst- und Gartenmaschinen und legt vor allem Wert
auf Qualität und Leistungskraft.Das Unternehmenskonzept umfasst die Entwicklung, Herstellung und den Vertrieb von
