INTRODUCTION Dear Customer, Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the waterpowered plant.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Important IMPORTANT! ! The hedgetrimmer is only designed for cutting branches and twigs. Never use a machine that has been modified in any way from its original specification. National or local regulations may regulate the use. Comply to given regulations. Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination. Wear personal protective equipment.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BOOTS Throttle trigger lockout Wear sturdy, non-slip boots or shoes. The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS See instructions under the heading Start. Start the hedge trimmer and apply full throttle. Release the throttle trigger and check that the blades stop and remain stationary. If the blades move when the throttle trigger is in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be adjusted. See instructions under the heading Maintenance. Stop switch Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of mesh. ! ! WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler. WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire.
ASSEMBLY Fitting the handle Fitting the impact guard Fit the handle using two screws. (325HE4) Fit the guard with three screws. Tighten the screws to 30 ft/lbs. (4 Nm). After the machine has been in use for around 20 hours, re-tighten the screws to 4 Nm. Adjusting the harness (325HE4) You should always use the harness with the machine to give maximum control over the machine and reduce the risk of fatigue in your arms and back. 1 Put on the harness. 2 Hook the machine onto the harness support hook.
FUEL HANDLING Fuel safety ! Never start the machine: 1 If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate. 2 If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water. 3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines. In the event of leakage, contact your service agent.
FUEL HANDLING Petrol, litre Two-stroke oil, litre 2% (1:50) 3% (1:33) 5 0,10 0,15 10 0,20 0,30 15 0,30 0,45 20 0,40 0,60 Fueling ! Mix and pour fuel outdoors, where there are no sparks or flames. Mixing • Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. • Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.
STARTING AND STOPPING Check before starting Starting Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled. • Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out. • Check the cutting attachment. Never use blades that are dull, cracked or damaged. Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position. • Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight.
STARTING AND STOPPING CAUTION! Do not put any part of your body in marked area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or electrical shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark plug cap. Stopping The engine is switched off by moving the stop switch to the stop position. CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the start position.
WORKING TECHNIQUES General working instructions • Never work from a ladder, stool or any other raised position that is not fully secured. • Keep in mind that the operator is responsible for accidents or hazards occuring to other people or their property. IMPORTANT! This section takes up the basic safety precautions for working with a hedge trimmer. If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop.
WORKING TECHNIQUES • If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage. • If anything jams in the blades while you are working, switch off the engine and wait until it has stopped completely before cleaning the blades. Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug. • Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.
WORKING TECHNIQUES Transport position (325HE4) Once the work has been completed fold the cutting unit back against the shaft to simplify transport and storage of the hedge trimmer. 1 Turn off the motor. 2 Loosen the knob on the shaft (clockwise). 3 Grip the handle on the cutting unit and angle the cutting unit upwards. At an angle of 90 degrees there is a stop position. To pass the stop position, pull out the lock button. 4 Fold down the cutting unit against the shaft.
MAINTENANCE Carburettor Adjustment of the idle speed Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush. Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted. Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw T, if adjustment is necessary. First turn the idle adjustment screw T clockwise until the blades start to move.
MAINTENANCE The cooling system consists of: 1 Air intake on the starter. 2 Fins on the flywheel. 3 Cooling fins on the cylinder. 4 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder). Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.
MAINTENANCE Oiling the air filter Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the filter. You should therefore avoid skin contact. Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never use common engine oil.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule The following is a list of the maintenance steps that must be performed on the machine. Most of the items are described in the Maintenance section. The user must only carry out the maintenance and service work described in this Operator's Manual. More extensive work must be carried out by an authorized service workshop. Maintenance Daily maintenance Clean the outside of the machine.
