INTRODUCTION  
General  
Layout  
This Workshop Manual provides a comprehensive description  
of how to trouble shoot, repair and test the chain saw. A  
description of different safety measures that should be taken  
during repair work is also given.  
This Workshop Manual can be used in two different ways:  
• For the repair of a particular system on the chain saw.  
• For dismantling and assembly of the entire chain saw.  
Safety  
Repair of a particular system  
NOTE!  
When a particular system on the chain saw is to be repaired,  
proceed as follows:  
The section dealing with safety must be read and under-  
stood by all those carrying out repair work or service on  
the chain saw.  
1. Look up the page for the system in question.  
2. Carry out the sections:  
Dismantling  
Cleaning and Inspection  
Assembly  
Warning symbols can be found in this Workshop Manual and on  
the chain saw. See the chapter "Symbol explanation". A new  
decal must be applied as soon as possible if a warning symbol  
on the chain saw has been damaged or is missing so that the  
greatest possible safety can be obtained when using the chain  
saw.  
Dismantling and assembly of the  
entire chain saw  
Target group  
Proceed as follows when the entire chain saw is to be disman-  
tled and assembled:  
When producing this Workshop Manual the assumption has  
been made that personnel who use it have general knowledge  
in the repair and service of small engines.  
1. Look up the chapter "Starter" which deals with the Starter  
and carry out the instructions set out under Dismantling.  
The Workshop Manual must be read and understood by  
personnel who will carry out repair work and service on the  
chain saw. The Manual is also suitable for use when training  
new employees.  
2. Work forward in the Manual and carry out Dismantling in  
the order set out in the sections.  
3. Go back to the chapter "Starter" and carry out the instruc-  
tions under Cleaning and Inspection.  
Modifications  
4. Work forward in the Manual and carry out Cleaning and  
Inspection in the order set out in the sections.  
Modifications will be successively introduced on the chain saw  
during production. When these modifications affect the service  
and/or spare parts, separate service information will be sent out  
on each occasion. This means that in time this Workshop  
manual will become out of date. In order to prevent this, the  
Manual should be read together with all service information  
concerning the chain saw in question.  
5. Order or take out all requisite spare parts from the stores.  
6. Look up the chapter "Oil pump" which deals with the Oil  
pump and carry out the instructions set out under Assem-  
bly.  
7. Work back towards the beginning of the Manual and carry  
out Assembly in the order set out in the sections.  
Tools  
Some sections include a Description of the actual unit in order  
to increase the basic understanding.  
Special tools must be used during specific steps. All service  
tools are listed in the Workshop Manual. Usage is evident from  
respective sections.  
Numbering  
Always use Husqvarna’s original:  
• Spare parts  
• Service tools  
Position references to components inside the figures are  
designated A, B, etc.  
The position references restart in each new section.  
• Accessories

SAFETY REGULATIONS  
General instructions  
Special instructions  
The workshop where chain saw repairs are to be done must be  
equipped with safety equipment as set out in local provisions.  
The fuel used in the chain saw has the following hazardous  
properties:  
No one may repair the chain saw unless they have read and  
understood the content of this Workshop Manual.  
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.  
• Can cause skin irritation.  
• Is highly inflammable.  
This Workshop Manual contains the following boxes in relevant  
places. Warning boxes are positioned before the procedures  
they refer to.  
The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be fitted  
before the saw is started otherwise the clutch can work loose  
and cause personal injury.  
WARNING!  
Wear ear-muffs when test running.  
The warning box warns of the risk of personal  
injury if the instructions are not followed.  
Do not use the saw until it has been adjusted so that the chain  
remains still when idling.  
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it has cooled.  
Risk for burns.  
NOTE!  
This box warns of material damage if the instructions are  
not followed.  
Insufficient chain lubrication can result in chain breakage, which  
can cause serious, even life-threatening injury.  
Ensure that the spring in the starter does not fly out and cause  
personal injury.  
If the spring tension is activated on the starter pulley when it is  
to be taken up, the spring can fly out and cause personal injury.  
Check that the brake is applied when removing the pressure  
spring on the chain brake. Otherwise the pressure spring can fly  
out and cause personal injury.  
Do not direct the compressed air jet towards the body when  
using compressed air. Air can penetrate in to the blood circula-  
tion, which means mortal danger.

CARBURETTOR  
Description  
WARNING!  
The fuel used in the chain saw has the follow-  
ing hazardous properties:  
The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.  
Can cause skin irritation.  
Is highly inflammable.  
The drawings accompanying this description do not correspond  
with the carburettor on the chain saw. They show purely the  
principle for the design and function. The carburettor is based  
on three sub-systems:  
Metering unit  
The needles and the fuels control functions are located in the  
metering unit (A). Here the correct quantity of fuel is adjusted  
for the actual speed and power output.  
A
Mixing venturi  
The mixing venturi (B) houses the choke, throttle valve and  
diffuser jets. Here air is mixed with the fuel to give a fuel/air  
mixture that can be ignited by the ignition spark.  
B
Pump unit  
In the pump unit (C), fuel is pumped from the fuel tank to the  
metering unit. One side of the pump diaphragm is connected to  
the crankcase and pulses in time with the pressure changes in  
the crankcase. The other side of the diaphragm pumps the fuel.  
C
English 29  
CARBURETTOR  
Operation  
The carburettor operates differently in the following modes:  
Cold start mode  
In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is fully closed. This  
increases the vacuum in the carburettor and fuel is easier to  
suck from all the diffuser jets (E, F and G). The throttle valve (H)  
is partly open.  
Idling mode  
In the idling mode (H) the throttle valve is closed. Air is sucked  
in through an aperture in the throttle valve and a small amount  
of fuel is supplied through the diffuser jet (F).  
Part throttle mode  
In the part throttle mode the throttle valve (H) is partially open.  
Fuel is supplied through the diffuser jets (F and G).  
Full throttle mode  
In the full throttle mode both valves are open and fuel is sup-  
plied through all three diffuser jets (E, F and G).  
30English  
CARBURETTOR  
Primer pump  
The primer pump is designed to make it easier to start the  
engine when cold.  
The pump fills the carburettor with fuel before an attempt is  
made to start. This also prevents bubbles of vapour from  
blocking the narrow fuel channels.  
1.  
If the pump does not work it must be replaced. Note the way the  
fuel pipes are connected in order to simplify assembly.

CARBURETTOR  
Conditions  
Carburettor  
The air filter should be clean and the carburettor cover fitted  
when adjustments are made. Adjusting the carburettor with a  
dirty air filter will give a too lean fuel mixture the next time the  
air filter is cleaned. This can result in serious damage to the  
engine.  
Carefully turn the L and H-needles to the centre position  
between fully screwed in and fully screwed out.  
Do not attempt to adjust the needles past the stop, as this  
can result in damage.  
Start the saw according to the start instruction and run warm  
for 10 minutes.  
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw should  
be turned anticlockwise until it stops.  
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured  
according to specifications that reduce harmful gases.  
When you engine has consumed 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine  
has been "run-in". To ensure that it runs in the best possible  
way and emits as few harmful gases as possible after the  
running in period, let your dealer/service workshop that has a  
tachometer, adjust your carburettor so that it gives optimal  
performance.  
Function, Basic setting, Fine tuning  
WARNING! The bar, chain and clutch cover  
(chain brake) must be fitted before the saw is  
started otherwise the clutch can work loose  
and cause personal injury.  
Place the saw on a flat surface so that the bar points away  
from you and so that the chain and bar do not make contact  
with the surface or any other objects.  
Low speed needle L  
Screw the L-needle clockwise until it stops. If the engine has  
bad acceleration or uneven idling turn the L-needle anti-  
clockwise until good acceleration and idling are obtained.  
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw should  
be turned anticlockwise until it stops.  
Function  
The carburettor controls the speed of the engine via the  
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed in the carburettor. This air/fuel  
mixture is adjustable. The adjustment must be correct to utilise  
the saws maximum power.  
Adjustment of the carburettor means that the engine is  
adapted to local conditions, e.g. the climate, altitude, petrol  
and the type of 2-stroke oil.  
Fine tuning idling T  
Adjustment of the idling speed is done with the screw marked T.  
If adjustment is necessary, screw in (clockwise) the idling screw  
T with the engine running until the chain starts to rotate. Now  
open (anticlockwise) until the chain is at a standstill. A correctly  
set idling speed is when the engine runs smoothly in all positions  
with a good margin to the speed when the chain starts to rotate.  
The carburettor is fitted with  
three adjustment possibilities:  
L
H
L = Low speed needle  
H = High speed needle  
T = Adjuster screw for idling  
WARNING! Contact your service workshop if  
the idling speed cannot be adjusted so that  
the chain does not rotate. Do not use the saw  
until it is adjusted correctly or repaired.  
T
The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the  
High speed needle H  
The high speed needle H  
affects the saw's power and  
speed. A too lean high speed  
needle setting (H-needle  
throttle opening is adjusted by the L and H-needles. Turning  
the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture (less fuel)  
and turning them anticlockwise gives a richer fuel mixture  
(more fuel). A lean mixture gives a higher speed while a richer  
mixture gives a lower speed.  
screwed in too far) gives over  
revving on the saw resulting in  
damage to the engine. Turn the  
H-needle anticlockwise until it  
stops. If the engine runs  
unevenly turn the H-needle  
clockwise until the engine  
xruns evenly.  
The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the engine  
is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher idling speed  
while turning it anticlockwise gives a lower idling speed.  
Basic setting and running-in  
H
The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at the  
factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting and  
should be kept during the engines first working hours. Thereaf-  
ter the carburettor should be fine tuned. Fine tuning should be  
done by a qualified mechanic.  
The H-needle is set correctly when the saw "splatters" a little. If  
the saw "screams" the setting is too lean. If the muffler smokes  
heavily, at the same time as the saw splatters a great deal the  
setting is too rich. Turn the H-needle clockwise until you find the  
setting that sounds right.  
NOTE! Use a mechanic with access to a tachometer to  
make an optimal setting.  
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw should be  
turned anticlockwise until it stops.  
Recommended idling speed: 2,800 rpm  
WARNING! Contact your service workshop if  
the idling speed cannot be adjusted so that  
the chain does not rotate. Do not use the saw  
until it is adjusted correctly or repaired.  
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the saw accelerates  
without hesitation and that it 4-strokes a little at full throttle. In  
addition the chain should not rotate when idling. An L-needle  
adjusted too lean can cause starting difficulties and bad accel-  
eration. An H-needle adjusted too lean gives the saw lower  
power = "less strength", bad acceleration and/or damage to the  
engine. A too rich setting of the L and H-needles gives accel-  
eration problems or a too low working speed.  
Fine adjustment  
Fine adjustment of the carburettor should be carried out once  
the engine has been "run-in". Fine tuning should be done by  
a qualified mechanic. First adjust the L-needle, then the  
idling speed's T-screw and finally the H-needle.

Removing the decompression valve  
C
Disconnect the pipe from the nipples (B and C). Use a ring  
spanner (15 mm) to remove the valve from the cylinder. Check  
that the valve can be pressed in easily and springs back out  
again. If the valve is stiff it should be soaked in petrol for a while  
to loosen the particles of soot. It can then be blown clean with  
compressed air.  
B
Use a pressure tester to check that the non-return valve is  
working correctly. Air should only pass through in the direction  
of the arrow, see diagram. If the non-return valve is defective,  
replace it.  
Fitting the decompression valve  
Screw the valve into the cylinder using a ring spanner to a  
torque of 1214 Nm. Then use a spanner to turn the brass part  
of the valve to roughly the position shown in the diagram, so  
that the pipe can be connected in the correct position.  
The brass part is not threaded and can therefore be turned in  
either direction.
