Safety devices on the product
WARNING: Read the 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. Refer to
Maintenance and checks of the safety devices on
the product on page 20 .
• If the safety devices are defective, speak to your
Husqvarna servicing dealer.
Keypad
The warning indicator flashes if the chain brake is
engaged or if there is a risk of overload. The overload
protection temporarily stops the product and you can not
use the product until the temperature restores. If the
indicator shows a solid light, turn to your servicing
dealer. (Fig. 30)
The automatic stop function
The product has an automatic stop function that stops
the product if you do not use it for one minute.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your product has a chain brake that stops the saw chain
if you get a kickback. The chain brake decreases the
risk of accidents but only you can prevent them.(Fig. 31)
WARNING: Do not engage in situations
where there is a risk of kickback. Be careful
when you use your product and make sure
that the kickback zone of the guide bar does
not touch an object.
(Fig. 32)
The chain brake engages (A) manually by your left hand
or automatically by the inertia release mechanism. Push
the front hand guard (B) forward to engage the chain
brake manually. This movement starts a spring-loaded
mechanism that stops the drive sprocket.(Fig. 33)
How the chain brake is engaged is in relation to the
force of the kickback and position of the product. If you
get an intense kickback while the kickback zone is
farthest away from you, the chain brake engages by the
inertia release. If the kickback is small or the kickback
zone is nearer you, the chain brake engages manually
by your left hand.(Fig. 34)
1259 - 002 - 15.07.2020
Use the chain brake as a parking brake when you start
the product and when you move short distances. This
decreases the risk that you or a person near you
touches the saw chain.(Fig. 35)
Pull the front hand guard rearward to disengage the
chain brake.(Fig. 36)
A kickback can be very sudden and intense. Most
kickbacks are small and do not always engage the chain
brake. If a kickback occurs when you use the product,
hold tightly around the handles and do not let go. (Fig.
37)
The front hand guard also decreases the risk to touch
the saw chain if your hand lets go of the front handle.
(Fig. 38)
In the felling position you cannot engage the chain brake
manually. The chain brake can in this position only be
engaged by the inertia release mechanism.(Fig. 39)
Power trigger lockout
The power trigger lockout prevents accidental operation
of the power trigger. If you put your hand around the
handle and press the power trigger lockout (A), it
releases the power trigger (B). If you release the handle,
the power trigger and the power trigger lockout move
back to their initial positions.(Fig. 40)
Chain catcher
The chain catcher catches the saw chain if it breaks or
comes loose. If you have the correct chain tension, the
risk decreases. You also decrease the risk if you do the
correct maintenance on the guide bar and saw chain.
To tighten the saw chain on page 22 and
See
Maintenance on page 20 for instructions.(Fig. 41)
Right hand guard
The right hand guard works as a protection for your
hand if the saw chain breaks or comes loose. It also
prevents interference from branches and twigs when
you use the product.(Fig. 42)
