To use the correct chain oil
WARNING:
Do not use waste oil,
which can cause injury to you and the
environment. Waste oil also causes
damage to the oil pump, the guide bar and
the saw chain.
WARNING:
The saw chain can break
if the lubrication of the cutting equipment is
not sufficient. Risk of serious injury or
death to the operator.
WARNING:
Use the correct chain oil
for this function to operate correctly. Speak
to your servicing dealer when you select
your chain oil.
• Use Husqvarna chain oil for maximum saw chain
life and to prevent negative effects on the
environment. If Husqvarna chain oil is not
available, we recommend you to use a standard
chain oil.
• Use a chain oil with good adherence to the saw
chain.
• Use a chain oil with correct viscosity range that
agrees with the air temperature.
CAUTION:
In temperatures below
0°C/32°F some chain oils become too
thick, which can cause damage to the
oil pump components.
• Use the recommended cutting equipment. Refer to
.
• Remove the cap to the chain oil tank.
• Fill the chain oil tank with chain oil.
• Attach the cap carefully.

Kickback information
WARNING:
A kickback can cause
serious injury or death to the operator or
others. To decrease the risk you must
know the causes of kickback and how to
prevent them.
A kickback occurs when the kickback zone of the guide
bar touches an object. A kickback can occur suddenly
and with large force, which throws the product in the
direction of the operator.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the
guide bar. Usually, the product is thrown against the
operator but can also move in a different direction. It is
how you use the product when the kickback occurs
that causes the direction of the movement.
A smaller bar tip radius decreases the force of the
kickback.
Use a low kickback saw chain to decrease the effects
of kickback. Do not let the kickback zone touch an
object.
WARNING:
No saw chain fully
prevents kickback. Always obey the
instructions.
Common questions about kickback
• Will the hand always engage the chain brake
during a kickback?
No. It is necessary to use some force to push the
front hand guard forward. If you do not use the
force necessary, the chain brake will not be
engaged. You must also hold the handles of the
product stable with two hands during work. If a
kickback occurs, it is possible that the chain brake
does not stop the saw chain before it touches you.
There are also some positions in which your hand
can not touch the front hand guard to engage the
chain brake.
