Work safety

WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Use this product to cut grass lawns only. It is not
permitted to use it for other tasks.
• Use personal protective equipment. See
protective equipment on page 7 .
• Do not start the engine in a closed space or near
flammable material. The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and can contain sparks which can
start a fire.
• Do not operate the product unless the blade and
all covers are attached correctly. An incorrectly
attached blade can come off and cause injury.
• Make sure that the blade does not hit objects such
as stones and roots. This can do damage to the
blade and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle causes
heavy vibration and a very high risk that the blade
becomes loose.
• If the blade hits an object or if vibrations occur,
stop the product immediately. Disconnect the ignition
cable from the spark plug. Examine the product
for damages. Repair damages or let an approved
service agent do the repair.
• Do not attach the engine brake handle permanently
to the handle when the engine is on.
• Put the product on a stable, flat surface and start it.
Make sure that the blade does not hit the ground or
other objects.
• Always stay behind the product when you operate it.
• Keep 2 hands on the handle when you operate the
product. Keep your hands and feet away from the
rotating blades.
• Be careful when you pull the product rearward.
• Do not lift up the product when the engine is on. If
you must lift the product, first stop the engine and
disconnect the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
• Do not walk rearward when you operate the product.
• Stop the engine when you move across areas
without grass, for example paths made of gravel,
stone and asphalt.
• Do not run with the product when the engine is on.
Always walk when you operate the product.
• Do not let the product stay out of view with the
engine started. Stop the engine and wait until the
cutting equipment stops to rotate.

Safety instructions for operation

Personal protective equipment

WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Personal protective equipment cannot fully prevent
injury but it decreases the degree of injury if an
accident does occur. Let your dealer help you select
the right equipment.
• Use hearing protection if the noise level is higher
than 85 dB.
• Use heavy-duty slip-resistant boots or shoes. Do not
use open shoes or go with bare feet.
• Use heavy, long pants.
• Use protective gloves when necessary, for example
when you attach, examine or clean the cutting
equipment.
Safety devices on the product
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Do not use a product with defective safety devices.
• Do a check of the safety devices regularly. If
the safety devices are defective, speak to your
Husqvarna service agent.
To do a check of the cutting cover
The cutting cover decreases vibrations in the product
and decreases the risk of injury from the blade.
• Examine the cutting cover to make sure that there
are no damages such as cracks.
Engine brake handle
The engine brake handle stops the engine. When the
engine brake handle is released, the engine stops.
To do an inspection of the engine brake, start the engine
and then release the engine brake handle. If the engine
does not stop in 3 seconds, let an approved Husqvarna
service agent adjust the engine brake.
(Fig. 16)
Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
