Personal protective equipment

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• When using an edger, personal protective equipment must be used. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when choosing protective equipment.

The machine's safety equipment

This section describes the machine's safety equipment, its function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter "What is what" to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.)

General working instructions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This section takes up the basic safety precautions for working with the edger.
• If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop.
• Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.

Basic safety precautions

1. Observe your surroundings:
2. To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.

3. To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be thrown by the cutting equipment.
   NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of calling for help in the event of an accident.

4. Avoid usage in unfavourable weather conditions. For example, thick fog, heavy rain, strong winds or extreme cold, etc. To work in bad weather conditions is tiring and can create dangerous circumstances, e.g. slippery surfaces.

5. Make sure you can walk and stand safely. Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement (roots, stones, branches, pits, ditches, etc.). Take great care when working on sloping ground.
6. The engine should be switched off before moving.
7. Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have good sight of it.

Basic working techniques

Safety instructions while working

• Always ensure you have a safe and firm foothold.
• Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine of the right-hand side your the body.
• Make sure your hands and feet do not come into contact with the blade when the engine is running.
• When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the blade until it has stopped.
• Always cut edges at full throttle.
• Always keep the blade close to the ground.
• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation. Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious engine damage.
• Be especially careful when pulling the edger towards you during work.
• If heavy vibrations occur, stop the engine. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.

WARNING!

Sometimes grass and stones can collect in the blade guard and blade. Always stop the engine when cleaning.

WARNING!

Beware of thrown objects. Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the blade guard. Stones rubbish etc. can be thrown up into the eyes resulting in blindness or other serious injury.

• Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be outside the safety zone of 15 meters (50 feet). Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.
• The bevel gear unit can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards.
• There is a risk of slight burns if you touch it

Safety instructions after completing work

• Ensure the blade has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
• Wear heavy-duty gloves when carrying out repairs on the edge.
• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Only use original spare parts with repair.

Assembling the angle gear

• Assemble the angle gear back on the supporting tube.
  Turn the blade so that the drive shaft engages in the angle gear.
• Position the angle gear so that its slot is aligned with the line on the supporting tube.
• Firmly tighten the screw.

Assembling the blade

Fit the blade as follows:

1. Fit the drive disc (A) on the outgoing shaft. Make sure that the edge that fits in the hole of the blade is facing outward.
2. Block the blade rotation by inserting locking pin in the hole behind the blade guard engaging it in the corresponding hole in the drive disc.
3. Fit the blade (B) on the drive disc.
4. Fit the support flange (C). The support flange must be fitted with its outer edge hard up against the blade.
5. Fit the locknut (D). NOTE! The locknut has left-hand threads. The tightening torque of the locknut is 35 - 50 Nm .
6. Remove the locking pin.

NOTE! Do not forget to remove the locking pin before using the machine.

WARNING!

Under no circumstances may the edge cutter blade be used without the blade guard fitted.

Control before starting

For reasons of safety follow these recommendations!

• Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support flange if it is cracked.
• Ensure that the nut has not lost its tightening capacity. The nut lock shall have a locking torque of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut's tightening torque shall be 35-50 Nm.
• Check that the blade and blade guard are not damaged or cracked. Replace the blade or blade guard if it has been exposed to impact or if it is cracked.

Angle gear

The angle gear is filled a sufficient quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the angle gear is filled to 3/4 with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease.

Normally, the grease does not need to be changed except when repairs are carried out.

Lubricating the flexible drive axle

Inside the edger's drive shaft is a flexible drive axle. The flexible drive axle should be regularly lubricated after 30 hours of operation. Loosen the two screws on the angle gear and remove it. The flexible drive axle is easily removed from the shaft by taking a firm grip on the axle end. Lubricate the flexible drive axle over its entire length and reinsert it in the shaft. Turn the axle while inserting it so that it correctly engages in the clutch.

Replace the angle gear on the drive axle shaft and tighten the two screws.

Adjusting the edge's cutting depth

The cutting depth should be adjusted before starting work.

• Loosen the locking handle (A) and rotate the guard by moving the locking knob forwards or backwards. If the locking handle is moved forwards (from the machine) the cutting depth is increased. If the locking handle is moved backwards (towards the machine) the cutting depth is reduced.
• Adjust the cutting depth.
• Lock the locking handle.

WARNING!

Always bear the machine on the right side of the body. Always wear protective glasses, long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when using the machine. Observe your surroundings, ensure people and animals do not come in the immediate vicinity or can be hit by thrown objects. Apply full throttle before the blade starts to work on the soil.
