pinched in doors, fences or the like. Otherwise it can
cause the object to become live.

charger. Pull out the plug to the battery
charger in the event of smoke or fire.
Remember the risk of fire.
Do not use:
• a faulty or damaged battery charger or never use a
faulty, damaged or deformed battery.
Do not charge:
• non-rechargeable batteries in the battery charger or
use them in the machine.
• the battery in the battery charger outdoors.
• the battery in the rain or in wet conditions.
• the battery in direct sunlight.

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of kickback.
• Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping
off the bar.
• Obtain optimal cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
• Avoid increasing vibration levels.

General rules

• Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
• Keep the chain's cutting teeth properly
sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the
recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly
sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.
• Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended depth
gauge clearance. Too large a clearance increases
the risk of kickback. (Figure 19)
• Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket. (Figure 24)
• Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and
properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is
more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the
bar, chain and drive sprocket.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
!
the wrong combination of bar and saw
chain increases the risk of kickback!
Only use the bar/saw chain combinations
we recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. See instructions under the
heading Technical data.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with "built-in" kickback
reduction and keeping the chain sharp and well-
maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.
Guide bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of
kickback.
Saw chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are
available in standard and low-kickback versions.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the
danger of kickback.
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating
!
saw chain can cause extremely serious
injuries.
Some terms that describe the bar and chain
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment,
you should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with
a bar and chain combinations recommended by
Husqvarna. See instructions under the heading Technical
Data for a list of replacement bar and chain combinations
we recommend.
Guide bar
• Length (inches/cm) (Figure 13)
• Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T). (Figure 12)
• Chain pitch (inches). The spacing between the drive
links of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth
on the bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket. (Figure 14)
• Number of drive links. The number of drive links is
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch
and the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.
(Figure 16)
• Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar
must match the width of the chain drive links.
• Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar
must be matched to the chain saw design. (Figure 15)
Saw chain
• Chain pitch (inches) (Figure 14)
• Drive link width (mm/inches) (Figure 17)
• Number of drive links. (Figure 16)
