Frequently Asked Questions - HEDGE TRIMMER HUSQVARNA

What safety equipment should I wear when using the Husqvarna hedge trimmer?

It is mandatory to wear boots, sturdy clothing (long pants), hearing and eye protection, and protective gloves. People with long hair should tie it back. Avoid loose clothing and jewelry.

How to adjust the blade clearance on the hedge trimmer?

Loosen the 4 lock nuts (B) and the 4 adjustment screws (A). Clamp the hedge trimmer in a vise. Insert a star screwdriver into the drive shaft and turn. Tighten the screw closest to the housing until rotation becomes difficult, then loosen by a quarter turn. Tighten the lock nut. Repeat for the other screws. The clearance must be less than 0.10 mm.

How often should the blade bars be lubricated?

The blade bars must be lubricated before each use with ordinary motor oil. Additionally, every 20 hours of service, apply 4 to 5 strokes of high-pressure grease gun to the housing grease fittings.

What is the safety distance to maintain around the machine during operation?

Do not allow anyone within 15 meters while working. Never allow children to use the machine.

Can I use the hedge trimmer on a ladder or at height?

No, it is strictly forbidden to work from a ladder or any other elevated position. Always use the machine from the ground with a stable stance.

What to do if the hedge trimmer hits an object or vibrates abnormally?

Stop the machine immediately, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for damage. Repair any failure before using the equipment again.

What precautions should be taken before starting the hedge trimmer?

Inspect the work area and remove any objects that could be thrown. Check the attachment mounting, blade condition (no cracks or dullness), screw tightness, gear lubrication, and idle operation. Ensure the handle and safety system work correctly.

How to maintain the detachable transmission tube?

The end of the drive shaft inside the lower tube should be internally lubricated with grease every 30 hours of use. Regular lubrication prevents the splined ends from seizing.

What type of branches can I cut with this hedge trimmer?

The blade gap is 23 mm. The maximum branch thickness depends on hardness. Always start cutting with the engine at least at half throttle to avoid blade jamming.

Where to find spare parts for the Husqvarna hedge trimmer?

Use only genuine Husqvarna parts for repairs. Consult the user manual or an authorized dealer for part numbers.

Safety instructions before starting work

• Inspect the working area. Remove loose objects that can be thrown.

• Check that the hedge trimmer attachment is correctly fitted.

• Check the blades. Never use blunt, cracked or damaged blades.

• Check that the hedge trimmer is in full working order. Check all nuts and bolts.

• Check that gears have sufficient lubrication. See the section "Lubrication (hedge trimmer attachment)".
• Make sure the blades do not rotate when idling.
• Only use the machine for the purpose it was intended for.
• Make sure the handle and safety features are in order. Never use a machine that has parts missing or has been changed in relation to the specification.

Safety instruction while working

• Always make sure you have a safe and firm foothold.
• Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine to the right of the body.
- Make sure hands and feet do not come into contact with the blade when the engine is running.
- When the engine is switched off keep hands and feet well away from the blades until they have stopped.

• Do not cut too close to the ground. Stones and other loose objects can be thrown.
• If any object is hit or 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.

Safety instructions after completing work

• The blade guard should always be placed over the blade bar when the machine is not in use.

• Ensure the blades have stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.

• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when carrying out repairs on the hedge trimmer attachment. The blades are extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.

• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Only use original spare parts with repair.

Adjusting the hedge trimmer

There are 4 adjuster screws (A) with locking nuts (B) on the blade bar. These control both of the blades in relation to each other and keep the blades together. The play between the blades should be as little as possible to obtain maximum output from the hedge trimmer at the same time as maintaining sharpness. The play should always be under 0.10 mm. This should be carried out after every 20 hours of operation.

Proceed as follows:

1. Loosen all 4 locking nuts (B).

2. Loosen all 4 adjuster screws (A)

3. Place the hedge trimmer attachment in a vice.

4. Insert a Philips-head screwdriver in the drive axle and rotate the drive axle using the screwdriver. Ensure the blade bar is lubricated.

5. Tighten screw (A) closest to the gear housing at the same time as the axle (C) is rotated. When the rotation of the axle feels stiff loosen the screw (A) a little. Only so much that the drive axle rotates easily.

6. Now loosen screw (A) 1/4 turn.

7. Tighten the locking nut (B). The play between the blades should now be correct. Check once again that the drive axle moves easily.

8. Repeat the adjustment for each of the other 3 adjuster screws and locking nuts.

Lubrication (hedge trimmer attachment)

Lubricate the blade bar using normal engine oil before use. There are two grease nipples on the gear housing. Lubricate with 4-5 strokes using a high pressure grease gun after every 20 hours of operation.

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with labeled parts A and B, including a tool and control panel interface.

Using the hedge trimmer

The hedge trimmer is ideal for cutting hedges and bushes in parks and large green areas. As the machine is carried close to the body the strain on the back is less than when using traditional hedge trimmers. The thickness of branches that can be cut depends on the hardness of the plant. The opening between the blades is 23 mm. Always make sure that you have at least half throttle before applying the hedge trimmer on material to be cut. Otherwise there is a risk of jamming and stoppages. See also section “Safety instructions for the hedge trimmer attachment”.

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.
