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 w orld 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.

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

• Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the

wn 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 m uch 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 b lock 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

vers 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 to the handle when the machine is r unning.

• Place the lawn mower on firm, flat surface and start it. Mak e 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 g round 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.

• 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 r unning. 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 alw ays 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

unning. 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 dur ing 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 str ipes in the lawn. 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 unauthor ized persons.
