PRESENTATION
Design and features
This Husqvarna diamond chain power cutter is a portable
handheld cut-off machine designed to cut hard materials
like concrete masonry and stone and should not be used
for any purpose not described in this manual. Safe
operation of this product requires the operator to read this
manual carefully. Ask your dealer or Husqvarna should
you need more information.
Some of the unique features of your product are
described below.
SmartCarb™
Built-in automatic filter compensation maintains high
power and reduces fuel consumption.
Dura Starter™
Dust sealed starter unit, where the return spring and the
pulley bearing are sealed which makes the starter
virtually maintenance free and even more reliable.
X-Torq®
The X-Torq® engine provides a more accessible torque
for a wider range of speeds which results in maximum
cutting capacity. X-Torq® reduces the fuel consumption
by up to 20% and the emissions by up to 60%.
EasyStart
The engine and starter are designed to ensure quick and
easy starting of the machine. Reduces the pull resistance
in the starter cord by up to 40%. (Reduces the
compression during starting.)
Air purge
When you push the air purge diaphragm, fuel is pumped
through to the carburettor. Fewer pulls are required for
starting, meaning the machine becomes easier to start.
Efficient vibration damping system
Efficient vibration dampers spare arms and hands.
Large cutting depth
Gives a cutting depth of 450 mm (18"). Cuts can be made
efficiently from a single direction. Small openings with
dimensions of 11x11 cm (4x4 ") can be cut which is
perfect for cutting openings with irregular shapes.
Water cooling and dust management
The cutting equipment is provided with water cooling and
dust management system for wet cutting and dust
suppression.
