warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. 14 783 - 009 - 16.05.2025Note: The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery- operated (cordless) machine. Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety

• Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second. Machine use and care

• Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.

• Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machines or these instructions to operate the machines. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machines´s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the machine, accessories and bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

15• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the machine in unexpected situations. Battery machine use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

• Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C / 265 °F may cause explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. Service

• Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.

• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers. Pole-mounted pruner safety warnings:

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain or saw blade when the pole-mounted pruner is operating. Before you start the pole mounted pruner, make sure the saw chain or saw blade is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating the pole-mounted pruner may result in injury to yourself or others.

• Always use two hands when operating the pole mounted pruner. Hold the pole-mounted pruner with both hands to avoid loss of control.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the pole mounted pruner near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.

• Hold the pole-mounted pruner by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain or saw blade may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains or saw blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Wear eye and ear protection. Further protective equipment for hands and slip-resistant footwear is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Always use head protection when operating the pole mounted pruner overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the pole-mounted pruner only when standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.

• Do not operate a pole-mounted pruner in a tree, on a ladder, or any unstable support. Operation of a pole-mounted pruner in this manner may result in loss of balance, loss of control and personal injury.

• Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in trees and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain or saw blade.

• Do not use the pole-mounted pruner in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the pole-mounted pruner out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain or saw blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

• When carrying the pole-mounted pruner with the machine switched off, take care not to operate any power switch and keep the saw chain or saw blade away from your body. Proper carrying of the pole-mounted pruner will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the saw chain or saw blade.

• When transporting or storing the pole-mounted pruner, always fit the guide bar or saw blade cover. Proper handling of the pole-mounted pruner will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain or saw blade.

• When clearing jammed material, storing or servicing the pole-mounted pruner, make sure the switch is off and all battery packs are removed. Unexpected actuation of the machine while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.

for purposes not intended. For example: do not use the pole-mounted pruner for cutting plastic, metal, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole-mounted pruner for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation. Causes and operator prevention of kickback Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. General safety instructions

the cut at right angles to the branch. (Fig. 47)

• Cut large branches in sections. Note that falling branches can bounce in the direction of the user after hitting the ground. (Fig. 48)

• Never cut through the swelling at the root of the branch as this will slow down healing and increase the risk of fungal attack! (Fig. 49)

• Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide support during cutting. This will help prevent the cutting attachment from ”jumping” on the branch. (Fig. 50)

• Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch before cutting through the branch. This will prevent tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing and cause permanent damage to the tree. The cut should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you withdraw the cutting attachment from the branch to prevent it jamming. (Fig. 51)

• Make sure you have a firm footing and that you can work without being hampered by branches, stones and trees.

WARNING: Never activate the

power trigger without having the cutting attachment in full view. Maintenance Introduction

61) To sharpen the saw chain Information about the guide bar and saw chain

WARNING: Use protective gloves

when you use or do maintenance on the saw chain. A saw chain that does not move can also cause injuries. Replace a worn or damaged guide bar or saw chain with the guide bar and saw chain combination recommended by Husqvarna. This is necessary to keep the safety functions of the product. Refer to Accessories on page 30 , for a list of replacement bar and chain combinations that we recommend.

• Guide bar length, in/cm. Information about the guide bar length can usually be found on the rear end of the guide bar. (Fig. 62)

• Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T). (Fig. 63)

• Chain pitch, in. The distance between the drive links of the saw chain must align with the distance of the teeth on the bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket. (Fig. 64)

• Number of drive links. The number of drive links is decided by the type of guide bar. (Fig. 65)

• Bar groove width, in/mm. The groove width in guide bar must be the same as the chain drive links width. (Fig. 66)

• Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The guide bar must align with product. (Fig. 67)

• Drive link width, mm/in. (Fig. 68) General information about how to sharpen the cutting teeth Do not use a blunt saw chain. If the saw chain is blunt, you must apply more pressure to push the guide bar through the wood. If the saw chain is very blunt, there will be no wood chips but sawdust. A sharp saw chain eats through the wood and the wood chips becomes long and thick. The cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B) together makes the cutting part of the saw chain, the cutter. The difference in height between the two gives the cutting depth (depth gauge setting). (Fig. 69) When you sharpen a cutting tooth, think about the following:

• Round file diameter. (Fig. 73) It is not easy to sharpen a saw chain correctly without the correct equipment. Use the recommended file gauge. This will help you to keep maximum cutting performance and the kickback risk at a minimum.

WARNING: The risk of kickback

increases a lot if you do not follow the sharpening instructions. Note: See To sharpen the cutting teeth on page 25 for information about sharpening of the saw chain. To sharpen the cutting teeth

1. Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the

cutting teeth. (Fig. 74) Note: See Accessories on page 30 for information about which file and gauge that we recommend for your saw chain.

2. Make sure that the saw chain has the correct

tension. A saw chain without the correct tension moves from side to side. This does not make it easy to sharpen the saw chain. See To tension the chain on page 26 for instructions. (Fig. 75)

3. Move the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth

and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke. (Fig. 76)

4. Remove filing material on all teeth on one side first.

5. Turn the product around and remove filing material

6. Make sure that the all cutting teeth become the

257. The saw chain is worn out when the cutting teeth is

decreased to 4 mm (0.16"). Replace the saw chain. (Fig. 53) General information about how to adjust the depth gauge setting The depth gauge setting (C) decreases when you sharpen the cutting tooth (A). To keep maximum cutting performance you must remove filing material from the depth gauge (B) to receive the recommended depth gauge setting. See Accessories on page 30 for instructions about how to receive the correct depth gauge setting for your saw chain. (Fig. 77)

WARNING: The risk of kickback

increases if the depth gauge setting is too large! To adjust the depth gauge setting Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or sharpen the cutting teeth, See To sharpen the cutting teeth on page 25 , for instructions. We recommend you to adjust the depth gauge setting after each third operation that you sharpen the cutting teeth. Note: This recommendation applies only if the length of the cutting teeth does not decrease too much. We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge. (Fig. 78)

1. Use a flat file and a depth gauge tool to adjust the

depth gauge setting. Only use the recommended depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge.

2. Put the depth gauge tool on the saw chain.

Note: See the package of the depth gauge tool for more information about how to use the tool.

3. Use the flat file to remove the part of the depth

gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool. (Fig. 79) Note: The depth gauge setting is correct when you do not feel resistance as you move the file along the depth gauge tool. To tension the chain

A saw chain with an incorrect tension can derail from the guide bar and cause serious injury or death. A saw chain becomes longer when you use it. Adjust the saw chain regularly.

1. Loosen the bar nut that hold the clutch cover/chain

brake. Use a wrench. (Fig. 80)

2. Tighten the bar nuts by hand as tightly as you can.

3. Lift the front of the guide bar and turn the chain

tensioning screw. Use a wrench. (Fig. 81)

4. Tighten the saw chain until it is tight against the

guide bar but still can move easily.

5. Tighten the bar nuts using the wrench and lift the

front of the guide bar at the same time. (Fig. 82)

6. Make sure you can pull the saw chain around freely

by hand and that it does not hang from the guide bar. (Fig. 83) To lubricate cutting equipment

WARNING: Poor lubrication of cutting

equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.

WARNING: Do not use waste oil!

Waste oil is dangerous for persons, the product and for the environment. Chain oil

WARNING: Poor lubrication of cutting

equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.

• Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.

• We have developed an optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimize environmental damage.

• If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is recommended.

• In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw chains is unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil may be used.

• Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the machine and the environment. To check the chain lubrication

1. Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel.

Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 75% throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface. (Fig. 84)

1. Check that the oil channel in the bar is not

obstructed. Clean if necessary. (Fig. 85)

2. Check that the oil channel in the gear housing is

chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the above checks you should contact your service workshop. (Fig. 86) To replace the chain drive sprocket
