General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
- 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.
Work 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 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.
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
- Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C / 266 °F may cause explosion.
- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
- Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
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.

To cut branches
WARNING: Observe great care when working close to overhead power lines.
Falling branches can result in short circuiting.
- Whenever possible, position yourself so that you can make the cut at right angles to the branch. (Fig. 61)
- Cut large branches in sections so that you have better control over where they fall. You should also pay attention to the fact that falling branches can bounce in the direction of the user after hitting ground. (Fig. 62)
- Never cut through the swelling at the root of the branch as this will slow down healing and increase the risk of fungal attack. (Fig. 63)• Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide support during cutting. This will help prevent the cutting attachment from bouncing on the branch.(Fig. 64)
- 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 ⅓ of the branch thickness to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you withdraw the cutting attachment from the branch to prevent it jamming. (Fig. 65)

To 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 28, for a list of replacement bar and chain combinations that we
recommend.
- Guide bar length, in/cm. Information about the guide bar length and chain type can usually be found on the rear end of the guide bar. (Fig. 71)
- 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. (Fig. 72)
- Number of drive links. The number of drive links is decided by the type of guide bar. (Fig. 73)
- Bar groove width, in/mm. The groove width in guide bar must be the same as the chain drive links width. (Fig. 74)
- The guide bar must align with product. (Fig. 75)
- Drive link width, mm/in. (Fig. 76)
General information about how to sharpen the cutters
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.
WARNING: The force of the kickback increases a lot if you do not follow the
sharpening instructions.
Note: Refer to To sharpen the cutters on page 24 fo information about
sharpening of the saw chain.
To sharpen the cutters
-
Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the cutting teeth. (Fig. 77)
Note: Refer to Accessories on page 28 for information about which file and file gauge that
Husqvarna recommends for your saw chain. -
Apply the file gauge correctly on to the cutter. Refer to the instruction supplied with the file gauge.
-
Move the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke. (Fig. 78)
-
Remove material from one side of all the cutting teeth.
-
Turn the product around and remove material on the other side.
-
Make sure that all cutting teeth are the same length.
To adjust the tension of the saw chain
WARNING: A saw chain with an incorrect tension can come loose from the guide
bar and cause serious injury or death.
A saw chain becomes longer when you use it. It is important to adjust the
tension of the saw chain regularly to make sure that it is correct. Do a check
of the tension of the saw chain before you operate the product. Tighten the
saw chain as tightly as possible, but it must be possible to pull the saw
chain around freely by hand.
Note: A new saw chain has a running-in period. Do a check of the tension more
frequently during this period.
-
Turn the chain tension adjuster clockwise to tighten the saw chain. Apply as much tension to the saw chain as possible. It must be tight against the guide bar. (Fig. 79)
Note: Turn the adjuster up (+) for more tension and down (-) for less tension. The saw chain is tightened correctly when you can turn it easily by hand but it is tight against the guide bar. -
Make sure that you can pull the saw chain around freely by hand and that it does not hang from the guide bar. (Fig. 80)
