Personal protective equipment
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
(Fig. 31)
• Most chainsaw accidents occur when the saw chain
touches the operator. You must use approved
personal protective equipment during operation.
Personal protective equipment does not give you full
protection from injuries but it decreases the degree
of injury if an accident occurs. Speak to your
servicing dealer for recommendations about which
equipment to use.
• Your clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your
movements. Regularly do a check of the condition of
the personal protective equipment.
• Use an approved protective helmet.
• Use approved hearing protection. Long-term
exposure to noise can result in permanent damage
to the hearing.
• Use protective glasses or a face visor to decrease
the risk of injury from thrown objects. The product
can throw objects, such as wood chips, small pieces
of wood and more, at large force. This can result in
serious injury, especially to the eyes.
• Use gloves with saw protection.
• Use pants with saw protection.
• Use boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and
non-slip sole.
• Always have a first-aid kit with you.
• Risk of sparks. Keep fire extinguishing tools and a
shovel near to prevent forest fires.

that follow before you use the product.
• Do not use a product with defective safety devices.

Husqvarna servicing dealer.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your product has a chain brake that stops the saw chain
if you get a kickback. The chain brake decreases the
risk of accidents, but only you can prevent them.
The chain brake engages (A) manually by your left hand
or automatically by the inertia release mechanism. Push
the front hand guard (B) forward to engage the chain
brake manually.
(Fig. 32)
Pull the front hand guard rearward to disengage the
chain brake.
(Fig. 33)
Throttle trigger lockout
The throttle trigger lockout prevents accidental operation
of the throttle trigger. If you put your hand around the
handle and press the throttle trigger lockout (A), it
releases the throttle trigger (B). If you release the
handle, the throttle trigger and the throttle trigger lockout
move back to their initial positions. This function locks
the throttle trigger at idle speed.
(Fig. 34)
Chain catcher
The chain catcher catches the saw chain if it breaks or
derails. Correct saw chain tension and correctly applied
maintenance on the saw chain and guide bar, decrease
the risk of accidents.
(Fig. 35)
Right hand guard
The right hand guard is a protection for your hand on the
rear handle. The right hand guard gives you protection if
the saw chain breaks or derails. The right hand guard
also gives you protection from branches or twigs.
(Fig. 36)
Vibration damping system
The vibration damping system decreases vibration in the
handles. Vibration damping units operate as a
separation between the product body and the handle
unit.
Refer to
Product overview on page 8
for information
about where the vibration damping system is on your
product.
Start/stop switch
Use the start/stop switch to stop the engine.
(Fig. 37)
WARNING: The start/stop switch
automatically goes back to start position. To
prevent accidental start, remove the spark
plug cap from the spark plug when you
assemble or do maintenance on the product.

Muffler
WARNING: The muffler becomes very hot
during/after operation and at idle speed.
There is a risk of fire, especially when you
