Always use • A protective helmet where there is a risk of falling objects • Ear protection • Approved eye protection max 10000 rpm • Always wear approved protective gloves. • Use anti-slip and stable boots.
CONTENTS Before using a new machine • Read the Operator‘s Manual carefully. • Check the assembly and adjustment of the cutting equipment. See page 13. • Start the machine and check the carburettor settings. See page 16-17. IMPORTANT! A too lean carburettor adjustment significantly increases the risk of an engine breakdown. Insufficient care of the air filter will cause deposits on the spark plug resulting in starting difficulties.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal protective equipment IMPORTANT INFORMATION • A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer used incorrectly or carelessly can become a dangerous tool, that can cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It is extremely important that you read and understand the content of this manual. • When using a trimmer, personal protective equipment approved by the appropriate authorities must be used.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5. Muffler 4. Vibration damping system Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system, which is designed to give as vibration-free and comfortable use as possible. Use of incorrectly wound cord or incorrect cutting equipment increases the level of vibration. 225L Lite The machine‘s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibrations between the engine unit/ cutting equipment and the machine‘s handles.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment IMPORTANT INFORMATION • All service and repairs to the machine require special training. • This applies especially to the machine‘s safety equipment. If the machine does not meet any of the controls listed below you should contact your service workshop. • The purchase of one of our products guarantees that professional repair and servicing will be carried out on it.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6. Cutting equipment The section describes how through correct maintenance and through using the right type of cutting equipment you can: • Obtain maximum clearing capacity. • Increase the service life of the cutting equipment. Cutting equipment IMPORTANT INFORMATION The section describes how through correct maintenance and through using the right type of cutting equipment you can obtain maximum clearing capacity and increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General safety instructions IMPORTANT INFORMATION • The machine is only designed for trimming grass. • The only accessories to be used with the engine unit as a drive source are the cutting units we recommend in the chapter “Technical data“. Fuel safety • Never fill the machine while the engine is running. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General working instructions Basic working techniques IMPORTANT INFORMATION • Always trim at full throttle. • This section takes up the basic safety precautions for working with the trimmer. • Always drop to idling speed after each working operation. Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious engine damage.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Clearing • The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. NOTE! This technique increases the wear on the cord. Trimming • The trimmer is ideal to cut grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel to the ground when cutting.

ASSEMBLY Assembling the loop handlebar Assembling and dismantling the two-part shaft (225LD) • Unscrew the handle and plastic cover from the handlebar bracket. Assembling: • Make sure the handle is loose. • Place the loop handlebar with the handlebar holder on the handlebar bracket. Fit the handle and plastic cover. Do not tighten too tight. • Guide the cut-out on the lower section of the shaft into the coupling‘s locking plate on the upper section of the shaft. The sections are then locked together.
ASSEMBLY Assembling the spray guard and trimmer head Superauto II Assembling other guards and cutting equipment • Fit the guard (A) intended for use with the trimmer head. Secure using the 4 bolts (L) and the support plate (M) as set out in the diagram. • Fit the guard (A) intended for use with the trimmer head. Secure using four bolts (L) and the support plate (M) as shown in the diagram. K • Fit the drive disc (B) on the output axle.
FUEL HANDLING Fuel mixture Mixture NOTE! The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture when mixing small amounts of fuel. • Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
START AND STOP Control before starting For reasons of safety follow these recommendations! • Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support flange if it is cracked. • Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50 Nm. • Check that the guard is not damaged or cracked.
MAINTENANCE Carburettor Basic setting Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions. After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak performance and producing the least amount of harmful emissions after break in, have your authorized servicing dealer, who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjust your carburettor for optimum operating conditions.
MAINTENANCE Final setting of the idling speed T Correctly adjusted carburettor Adjust the idling speed with the screw T, If it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle speed adjusting screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate/ move. Then turn, counterclockwise until the cutting attachment stops. A correctly adjusted idle speed setting occurs when the engine runs smoothly in every position.
MAINTENANCE Muffler Cooling system NOTE! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See “Technical data” to see whether you clearing saw is fitted with a catalytic converter. To maintain as low operating temperature as possible the engine is equipped with a cooling system. The cooling system consists of: 1. An air intake on the starter unit. 2. Cooling fins on the flywheel. 3. Cooling fins on the cylinder 4. Cylinder cover (leads cold air onto the cylinder).
MAINTENANCE Spark plug The condition of the spark plug is affected by: • An incorrect carburettor setting. • An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or faulty oil). • A dirty air filter. 0,5 mm These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrode that may result in malfunction or starting difficulties. If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly while idling always check the spark plug first. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check that the electrode gap is 0.
