WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Note: Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool. 4 783 - 003 - 28.05.2019Work area safety

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

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

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

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. 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 power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

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

• When operating a power tool 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 power tool 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 power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools 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 a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

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

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool 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 tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

• The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Operators should identify safety measures to protect themselves that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger). Power tool use and care

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations

783 - 003 - 28.05.2019

5different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Battery tool 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 power tools 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. Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Pole pruner safety warnings - personal safety

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when using the pole pruner. Before you start the pole pruner, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole pruners may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

• Always hold the pole pruner with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

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

• Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole pruner.

• 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 pruner out of control.

Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the pole pruner and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.

• Carry the pole pruner by the front handle with the pole pruner switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the pole pruner, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Cut wood only. Do not use pole pruner for purposes not intended. For example: do not use pole pruner for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole pruner for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders while felling a tree.

• This pole pruner is not intended for tree felling.Use of the pole pruner for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

• If possible, position yourself so that you can make the cut at right angles to the branch. 90°

783 - 003 - 28.05.2019• Cut large branches in sections. Note that falling

branches can bounce in the direction of the user after hitting the ground.

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

17To 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

, 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.

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

• 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. PITCH =

• Number of drive links. The number of drive links is decided by the type of guide bar.

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

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

• Drive link width, mm/in. 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).

When you sharpen a cutting tooth, think about the following:

• Round file diameter. 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 19 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. Note: See Accessories on page 24 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 20 for instructions.

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

and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke.

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

same length when you remove filing material.

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

decreased to 4 mm (0.16"). Replace the saw chain. 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 24 for

783 - 003 - 28.05.2019

19instructions about how to receive the correct depth gauge setting for your saw chain.

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 19 , 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.

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. 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

WARNING: 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.

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.

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.

783 - 003 - 28.05.20196. Make sure you can pull the saw chain around freely

by hand and that it does not hang from the guide bar. 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 minimise 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. To do a check if lubrication does not work

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

obstructed. Clean if necessary.

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. To replace the chain drive sprocket

1. Remove the bar nut (A) that holds the clutch cover.
