• Read the Operator’s Manual carefully.
• Check the assembly and adjustment of the cutting disc, see
chapter ” Assembly”.
• Start the engine and check the carburettor settings. See
chapter ” Maintenance”, section ”Carburettor”. When adjusted
correctly the cutting disc should not rotate when idling. Setting
the idling speed is described in the Operator’s Manual. Adjust
the speed according to these instructions. Do not use the
power cutter if the idling speed is not correctly adjusted!
• Let your Husqvarna dealer check the power cutter and carry
out essential adjustments and repairs.
