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 Huskvarna River, for production of muskets.  
The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-powered plant. During  
over 300 years of continuous operation, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to  
modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor driven lawn mowers appeared,  
followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.  
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest  
priority. We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for  
building and construction industry.  
Your purchase gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who  
sells your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.  
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this  
operator's manual as a valuable document. By following its' content (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the  
second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer  
gets the operator's manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.  
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.  
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and  
appearance of products without prior notice.

Fuel  
WARNING  
HOW TO MIX FUEL  
IMPORTANT  
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing  
any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the  
engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select  
outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m  
(10ft) away from the fueling point before starting the  
engine.  
Pay attention to agitation.  
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be  
mixed.  
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel  
container.  
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.  
4. Pour In the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least  
one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate  
depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is  
necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if  
the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger  
of early piston seizing due to abnormal lean mixture.  
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to  
avoid mixing up with other containers.  
The Husqvarna engines are lubricated by oil specially  
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If  
Husqvarna oil is not available, use an antioxidant added  
quality oil expressly labeled for aircooled 2-cycle engine  
use. (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE)  
Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)  
mixed oil.  
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy  
identification.  
FUELING THE UNIT  
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Keep the cap and inlet  
of the tank clean.  
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.  
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage  
around the unit.

WARNING  
1. Select bare ground for fueling.  
2. Move at least 10feet (3meters) away from the fueling  
point before starting the engine.  
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure  
to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container.  
FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID;  
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL(RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause severe  
damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.  
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or  
plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.  
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark plug  
fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking.  
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of  
one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in  
the engine failing to operate properly.  
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of  
time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,  
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the  
composite fuel.  
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental  
engine parameters and components(eq., carburation,  
ignition timing and port timing) without addition of any  
major hardware or the introduction of an inert material  
during combustion.  
These engines are certified to operate on unleaded  
gasoline.  
Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane  
number of 89 RON (USA/Canada: 87AL)  
If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than  
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine temperature  
may rise and an engine problem such as piston seizing  
may consequently occur.  
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the  
contamination of the air for the sake of your health and  
the environment.  
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,  
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.

Operation  
IMPORTANT  
STARTING ENGINE  
Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by  
releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter  
failures.  
1. Feed fuel into the fuel tank and tighten the cap securely.  
2. Rest the unit on a flat, firm place. Keep the cutting head  
off the ground and clear of surrounding objects as it will  
start moving upon starting of the engine.  
3. Push the primer pump several times until overflown fuel  
flows out in the clear tube.  
7. Move the choke lever to the open position. And pull out  
the starter rope quickly to restart engine.  
8. Allow the engine to warm up for a couple of minutes  
before starting operation.  
NOTE  
(1) Primer pump  
1. When restarting the engine immediately after stopping  
it, leave the choke open.  
2. Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to

HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES  
Before adjusting the carburetor, clean the air filter and  
warm up the engine.  
Trim sides of a hedge first, and then the top.  
Vertical cut:  
With the double-sided blade hedge-trimmer, model  
226HD60S/226HD75S use an arcing cut from the bottom  
upwards, then downwards to use both sides of the  
blades.

(1) Air filter element  
Idle screw is adjusted in order to ensure a good safety  
margin between idle running and clutch engagement.  
(1) Idle screw  
(1)  
Horizontal cut:  
In order to get the best cutting results, slightly tilt the  
blade (5÷10°) towards the cutting direction.  
Cut slowly, specially with thick hedges.  
WARNING  
With the engine idling (3000 rpm), the blade should  
not move. We recommend that you have the dealer  
or an authorised mechanic carry out any carburetor  
adjustments.  
Weather conditions and altitude may effect carburation.  
WARNING  
Do not allow anyone to stay close to the hedgetrimmer  
while working or while adjusting the carburetor.  
HOW TO USE THE HANDLE  
To reduce fatigue when trimming hedges, the handle can  
be swivelled through 90° to the left or right.  
WARNING  
Always follow the safety precautions.  
WARNING  
The hedge-trimmer must only be used to trim hedges  
or small bushes. It is forbidden to cut other types of  
material. Do not use the hedge-trimmer as a lever to lift,  
move or break objects, nor lock it on fixed supports. It is  
forbidden to apply tools or applications that are not the  
ones indicated by the manufacturer onto the hedge-  
trimmer’s power take-off. Do not use it for pruning trees  
or cutting grass.  
Do not press the throttle during this operation !  
90  
90  
Use only as much throttle as is needed to do the job.  
Excessive engine speed is unnecessary.  
Avoid cutting thick branches, for which will damage the  
blades and shorten the life of drive systems.  
Always keep your body to the carburetor side of your  
trimmer, never on the muffler side.  
When a new machine is first operated, in the first few  
minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But, since  
this is excess grease, there is no cause for alarm. Just wipe  
it off with the engine stopped for next use.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Free the handle by pressing the locking lever;  
2. Turn the handle until the locking lever clicks into place;  
3. When the handle is locked in its new position, you can  
apply the throttle again.

(2)  
(1) handle  
(2) locking lever  
Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting.  
You will achieve better results by not crowding the line  
into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its own  
pace.  
You can swivel the handle even with the engine idling  
because the hedge-trimmer is equipped with a blade  
brake that maintains the blades at a standstill.

AIR FILTER  
SPARK PLUG  
The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine  
performance. Check and clean the filter element in warm,  
soapy water as required. Dry completely before installing.  
If the element is broken or shrunk, replace with a new  
one.  
Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused by a  
fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check that  
the plug gap is in the correct range. For a replacement  
plug, use the correct type specified by Husqvarna.
