Frequently Asked Questions - EDGER HUSQVARNA

How to install the blade guard and blade of the edger attachment?

First place the blade guard (A) on the bevel gear (B), then mount part (C) on the opposite side with screws (D) and (E). Tighten without over-tightening, then rotate the blade guard until the hole in the housing aligns with the drive pin (G). Insert the locking pin (F), then mount the blade (H), washer (J) and screw (K) (left-hand thread). Remember to remove the pin before use.

How to adjust the cutting depth of the edger?

The cutting depth is adjusted by pushing the locking screw forward (deeper) or backward (shallower). Make this adjustment before starting work.

What are the essential safety instructions to follow?

Always wear boots, tight-fitting clothing, safety glasses, and tie back long hair. Maintain a safety distance of 15 m around the machine. Never let children use it. Before each use, inspect the work area and remove objects that could be thrown.

How to maintain the flexible drive shaft?

Every 30 hours of service, disassemble the bevel gear by loosening the two screws, extract the flexible shaft, lubricate it over its entire length with grease, then reinstall it while twisting it correctly before reassembling the gear.

What to do in case of excessive vibrations during use?

Stop the machine immediately, disconnect the spark plug wire, then inspect the machine for any damaged parts. Repair defects before resuming work.

Can I use the accessory with any brushcutter?

No, this accessory is approved only for specific HUSQVARNA brushcutters/trimmers. Consult the 'Approved accessories' section in your machine's manual to check compatibility.

How to clean the accessory after use?

Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Clean the blade and blade guard with a cloth or brush. Avoid pressurized water. Store the accessory in a dry place out of reach of children.

Where can I find spare parts for the accessory?

Use only original HUSQVARNA spare parts. You can order them from an authorized dealer or on the brand's official website (reference: user manual).

What is the safe start-up procedure?

Before starting, check that the blade is not damaged, the blade guard is securely attached, and no one is within 15 m. Start the machine at idle, then gradually increase speed so that the blade begins to cut the ground.

How to know if the blade needs to be replaced?

Visually inspect the blade before each use. If it has cracks, chips, or signs of excessive wear (dull edges), replace it immediately. Always use an original HUSQVARNA blade.

Assembly of the blade guard and blade

First place the blade guard (A) on the angle gear (B), see the diagram. There is a slot on the guard that fits to a guide flange on the gear housing. Fit the clamp (C) on the opposite side against the guard, on the angle gear. The clamp also has a slot that fits to the gear's guide flange. Insert the bolt (D) and the locking handle (E) and pull together the clamp and guard. See the diagram. Do not tighten too hard. It should be possible for the blade guard to rotate on the gear housing. Rotate the guard on the gear housing until the hole on the gear housing for the locking pin (F) is visible. Fit the drive disc (G) on the gear housing axle and rotate the drive disc until the hole in the drive disc aligns with the hole in the gear housing. Insert the locking pin through the hole in the gear housing and into the hole in the drive disc. Fit the blade (H), washer (J) and tighten the bolt (K). The bolt has a left-hand thread. Tighten securely.

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.

Adjusting the edger's cutting depth

The cutting depth should be adjusted before starting work. Loosen the locking handle (A) and rotate the guard (B) by moving the locking handle backwards or forwards. 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.

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.

Two-part shaft

The end of the drive axle in the lower shaft should be lubricated with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive axle ends (splined coupling) on two-part shafts jam if they are not lubricated regularly.

Diagram showing a mechanical clamp or lever mechanism with directional control buttons and motion indicators

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.
