General safety instructions
WARNING: Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the product.
· A chainsaw is a dangerous tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and can
cause serious injury or death. It is very important that you read and
understand the contents of this operator’s manual.
· Under no circumstances may the design of the product be modified without the
permission of the manufacturer. Do not use a product that appears to have been
modified by others and only use accessories recommended for this product.
Nonauthorized modifications and/or accessories can result in serious personal
injury or the death of the operator or others.
· A used muffler/spark arrester and spark arrester mounting face may contain
deposits of combustion particles that may be carcinogenic. Avoid being exposed
to these compounds when handling the muffler and/or spark arrester. Prior to
any handling of
the muffler and/or the spark arrester, refer to Muffler on page 7.
· Long term inhalation of the engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
sawdust can represent a health risk.
· This product produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field
may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical
implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons
with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant
manufacturer before operating this product.
· The information in this operator’s manual is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel
unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your servicing dealer or an
experienced chainsaw user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!
Safety instructions for operation
WARNING: Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the product.
· This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree surgery and
maintenance in the tree. Due to the special compact handle design (closely
spaced handles), there is an increased risk of losing control. For this reason
these special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree by persons who
are trained in special cutting and working techniques and who are properly
secured (lift bucket, ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider
spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting work at ground level.
· Working in a tree requires the use of special cutting and working techniques
which must be observed in order to reduce the increased risk of personal
injury. Never work in a tree unless you have received specific, professional
training for such work, including training in the use of safety and other
climbing equipment, such as harnesses,
4
2334 – 001 – 05.12.2023
ropes, belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners, etcetera.
· Never attempt to catch falling sections. Never cut in the tree when you are
only secured with one rope. Always use two secured ropes.
· During critical felling operations, hearing protectors should be lifted
immediately when the sawing is completed so that sounds and warning signals
can be heard.
· Before using this product you must understand the effects of kickback and
how to avoid them. Refer to Kickback information on page 11 for instructions.
· Never use a product that is faulty. Carry out the safety checks, maintenance
and service instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and
service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists.
Refer to Maintenance on page 17 for instructions.
· Never use the product with visible damage to the spark plug cap and ignition
cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can cause a fire.
· Never use the product if you are fatigued, while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that could affect your vision,
alertness, coordination or judgement.
· Do not use the product in bad weather such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong
wind, intense cold, etcetera. Working in bad weather is tiring and often
brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction,
etcetera.
· Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong combination of guide bar and saw chain
increases the risk of kickback! Only use the guide bar and saw chain
combinations we recommend, and follow the filing instructions. Refer to
Accessories on page 30 for instructions.
· Never start a product unless the guide bar, saw chain and all covers are
fitted correctly. Refer to Assembly on page 9 for instructions. Without a
guide bar and saw chain attached to the product the clutch can come loose and
cause serious injury.
· Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback zone of the bar
accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree or some other object.
· Never use a chainsaw by holding it with one hand. A chainsaw is not safely
controlled with one hand; you can cut yourself. Always have a secure, firm
grip around the handles with both hands.
· Always hold the chainsaw firmly with your right hand on the top handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the
handles. You should use this grip whether you are right handed or left handed.
This grip minimizes the effect of kickback and lets you keep the chainsaw
under control. Do not let go of the handles!
· Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height.
· Never start the product indoors. Exhaust fumes can be dangerous if inhaled.
· Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or
animals coming in contact with or affect your control of the product.
· Do not use the product in a situation where you cannot call for help in case
of an accident.

· Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover causing the saw chain to jam.
Always stop the engine before cleaning.
· If the saw chain jams in the cut: stop the engine! · Running an engine in a
confined or badly ventilated
area can result in death due to carbon monoxide poisoning. · The exhaust fumes
from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Do not
start the product indoors or near flammable material. · Use the chain brake as
a parking brake when you start the product and when you move short distances.
Always carry the product in the front handle. This decreases the risk that you
or a person near you get hit by the saw chain. · Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired
circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to
vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These
symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. These symptoms may
be increased in cold temperatures. · It is not possible to cover every
conceivable situation you can face when using a chainsaw. Always exercise care
and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider to be
beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating procedures
after reading these instructions, you should consult an expert before
continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Husqvarna if you have
any questions about the use of the chainsaw. We will willingly be of service
and provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chainsaw both
efficiently and safely. Attend a training course in chainsaw usage if
possible. Your dealer, forestry school or your library can provide information
about which training materials and courses are available.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING: Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the product.
· Most chainsaw accidents occur when the saw chain touches the operator. You
must use approved personal protective equipment during operation. Personal
protective equipment does not give you full protection from injuries but it
decreases the degree of injury if an accident occurs. Speak to your servicing
dealer for recommendations about which equipment to use.
· Your clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your movements. Regularly
do a check of the condition of the personal protective equipment.
· Use an approved protective helmet. · Use approved hearing protection. Long-
term
exposure to noise can result in permanent damage to the hearing. · Use
approved protective glasses or a face visor to decrease the risk of injury
from thrown objects. The product can throw objects, such as wood chips, small
pieces of wood and more, at large force. This can result in serious injury,
especially to the eyes. · Use gloves with saw protection. · Use pants with saw
protection. · Use boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole.
· Always have a first-aid kit with you. · Risk of sparks. Keep fire
extinguishing tools and a shovel near to prevent forest fires.
