General safety instructions
WARNING!
Please read the Operator’s Manual carefully
and make sure you understand the instructions
before using the machine.
The machine is used in a large range of environments
and for different types of work, making it impossible
to forewarn of all risks. Always exercise care and use
your common sense. Avoid all situations which you
consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel
uncertain about operating procedures after reading
these instructions, you should consult an expert before
continuing.
Do not hesitate to contact your dealer if you have any
more questions about the use of the machine. We will
willingly be of service and provide you with advice as
well as help you to use your machine both effi ciently
and safely.
Use the safety instructions as guidelines and support
so that you can detect possible risks yourself and take
measures to prevent them.
Let your Husqvarna dealer regularly check the ma-
chine and make essential adjustments and repairs.
