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 of beeing, 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 building and construction
industry. Husqvarna
′
s aim is also to be in the front edge
according to ergonomics, usability, security and
environmental protection. That is the reason why we have
developed many different features to provide 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 authorised
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

extended. If you will sell this machine, make sure that the
