Maintenance; General; Carburetor Adjustment; Checking, Maintaining And Servicing Chainsaw Safety Equipment - Husqvarna 545 Manuel D'utilisation

General

The user must only carry out the maintenance and
service work described in this Operator's Manual. More
extensive work must be carried out by an authorised
service workshop.

Carburetor adjustment

Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
AutoTune
The engine is equipped with AutoTune, so manual
adjustment of the carburettor's H and L needles and the
T-screw no longer applies. Both needles and the T-screw
have been removed. AutoTune is a function that adjusts
the carburettor electronically, always resulting in optimal
adjustment.
WARNING! If the saw chain rotates while
!
idling, contact your servicing dealer. Do
not use the chain saw until it has been
properly adjusted or repaired.
Function
• The carburetor governs the engine's speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the
carburetor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable.
• The automatic adjustment of the carburettor means
that the engine is adapted to local conditions, e.g. the
climate, altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.
This function is controlled by AutoTune.
Engine adjustment
The chain saw will be completely adjusted automatically
after a few fuelings at normal running.
• The high speed part is set during loaded running,
such as cutting and felling.
• The idle part is set when the chain saw idles for some
time.
Conditions
NOTE! There is an integrated speed governor in the
ignition system that limits the maximum speed. When the
speed governor is activated, you will get the same sound
experience as when the chain saw 4-cycles.

MAINTENANCE

Checking, maintaining and
servicing chainsaw safety
equipment
Note! All servicing and repair work on the machine
requires special training. This is especially true of the
machine's safety equipment. If your machine fails any of
the checks described below we recommend you to
contact our servicing dealer.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking brake band wear
• Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain
brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair
operation of the brake.
• Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0,6 mm
(0.024 inch) thick at its thinnest point.
Checking the front hand guard
• Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and
that there are no visible defects such as cracks.
• Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make
sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to
the clutch cover.
