Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna
product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates
back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the
construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna
River, for production of muskets. The location was logical,
since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna
River to create the water-powered plant. During the more
than 300 years in existence, the Husqvarna factory has
produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to
modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles,
motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor driven lawn
mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it
is within this area Husqvarna is working today.
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in
the world of forest and garden products, with quality as
our highest priority. The business concept is to develop,
manufacture and market motor-driven products for
forestry and gardening, as well as for the building and
construction industry. Husqvarna ' s aim is also to be at the
front edge for ergonomics, usability, security and
environmental protection. That is the reason why we have
developed many different features to add to our products
within these areas.
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great
satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for
a very long time to come. The purchase of one of our
products gives you access to professional help with
repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If
the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our
authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest
service workshop.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product
and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of
this operator ' s manual as a valuable document. By
following its content (usage, service, maintenance, etc),
the life span and the second-hand value of the machine
can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that
the operator ' s manual is passed on to the buyer.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product
development and therefore reserves the right to modify
