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 Husqvarna 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 the more than 300 years in existence, 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 first 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. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor-driven products for forestry and gardening, as well as for the building and construction industry. Husqvarna ′s aim is also to be at the front edge for ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different features to add to our products within these areas. We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very long time to come. The purchase of one of our products 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 authorised dealers, ask for the address of your nearest service workshop. It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operator ′s manual as a valuable document.

• Objects hitting against the cutting attachment could be thrown and cause damage to people and objects. Keep people and animals well away.

• Never use the machine in bad weather, for instance in fog, in rain, damp or in wet locations,strong winds, intense cold, risk of lightning, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.

• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can affect your control of the machine.

• Beware of roots, stones, twigs, pits, ditches etc. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the lawn mower on very steep slopes. The lawn mower should not be used on inclines greater than 15 degrees.

• On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work up and down it.

• Be careful when you are approaching hidden corners and objects that could block your view. Work safety

• A lawn mower is only designed to mow lawns. All other use is forbidden.

• Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the ”Personal protective equipment” heading.

• Do not start a lawn mower unless the cutter and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the cutter could come loose and cause personal injuries.

• Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle gives imbalance and heavy vibration, which results in a great risk of the cutter becoming loose.

• The brake handle must never be permanently anchored in handle when the machine is running.

• Place the lawn mower on firm, flat surface and start it. Make sure that the cutter cannot come into contact with the ground or other objects.

• Always place yourself behind the machine. Allow all the wheels to remain on the ground and keep both hands on the handle when mowing. Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating blades.

• Do not tilt the machine when the engine is running. Never run with the machine when it is running. You should always walk with the lawn mower.

• Pay particular attention when pulling the machine towards you during work.

• Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when the engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower, first switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition lead from the spark plug.

• Do not mow the lawn while walking backwards.

• The engine should be switched off when moving over ground that is not to be mowed. For example, gravel paths, stone, shingle, asphalt, etc.

• Never run with the machine when it is running. You should always walk with the lawn mower.

• Shut down the engine before changing the cutting height. Never make adjustments with the engine running.

• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor running. Turn off the motor. Ensure the cutting attachment has stopped rotating.

• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage. Basic working techniques

• Always cut with a sharp blade for optimal results. A dull blade gives an uneven cut and the grass becomes yellow on the surface of the cut.

• Never mow more than 1/3 of the length of the grass. This especially applies during dry periods. Mow first with the cutting height set high. Then check the result and lower to an appropriate height. If the grass is really long, drive slowly and mow twice if necessary.

• Cut in different directions each time in order to avoid stripes in the lawn.

• Before pulling the machine towards you, disengage the drive and push the machine forward approx. 10 cm.

• Make sure to disengage the drive when approaching an obstacle. Transport and storage

• Secure the equipment during transportation in order to avoid transport damage and accidents.

• Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out of reach of children and unauthorized persons.

• Store the machine and its equipment in a dry and frost proof place.
