INTRODUCTION

 

Dear customer!

 

Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the 
Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Huskvarna River, for production of muskets. The 
location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-powered plant. During over 
300 years of continuous operation, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to modern 
kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the 

fi

rst motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed 

by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.

Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest priority. 
We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and 
construction industry. 

Your purchase gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who 
sells your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.

It is our wish that you will be satis

fi

ed with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operator

 

 

manual as a valuable document. By following its

 

 

 content (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the second-hand value 

of the machine can be extended. If you ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer gets the operator

 

 

manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.

Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.

appearance of products without prior notice.
