Machine???s safety equipment

This section describes the machine???s safety equipment, its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ???What is what???? section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.

The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest servicing dealer.

IMPORTANT!

All servicing and repair work on the machine requires special training. This is especially true of the machine???s safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks described below you must contact your service agent. When you buy any of our products we guarantee the availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him for the address of your nearest service agent.

Throttle lockout

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.This arrangement means that

the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.

A

B

Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lockout is released.

Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.

Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely and that the return springs work properly.

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.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Hand guard

(327HDA65, 327HE3)

The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact with the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on the front handle.

Check that the hand guard is ???tted correctly.

Check that the hand guard is undamaged.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation easier.

The machine???s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine???s handle unit.

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration ! can lead to circulatory damage or nerve

damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the ???ngers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Muf???er

The muf???er is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muf???er ???tted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.

In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a signi???cant risk of ???re. We therefore ???t certain muf???ers with a spark arrestor screen. Check whether the muf???er on your machine is ???tted with this kind of screen.

!

WARNING! Bear in mind that:

The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a ???re. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

For muf???ers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.

Never use a machine that has a faulty muf???er.

Regularly check that the muf???er is securely attached to the machine.

If the muf???er on your machine is ???tted with a spark arrestor screen this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Blades

To ensure good cutting results it is important that the contact pressure between the blades is correct. The contact pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go. Then turn the screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn. Lock the screws using the locking nut on the top of the bar. Check that the screws are loose enough to allow the washers under the screw heads to slide sideways.

When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between the blades should be 0,2???0,4 mm, measured at the screws.

The edges of the blades are too hard to be ???led. Dull blades should be sharpened using a grinder.

Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.

Blade guard

(327HDA65)

The blade guard (A) is intended to protect against any part of the body coming into contact with the blades (B).

A

B

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted. Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.

Fitting the hand guard and loop handle

(327HDA65, 327HE3)

1Slide the spacer into the slot in the loop handle.

2Fit the nut and screw. Do not overtighten.

3Now make a ???nal adjustment to give yourself a comfortable working position. Tighten the screw. CAUTION! The loop handle and hand guard must not be ???tted behind the arrow marked on the shaft.

Fitting the handle

(327HE3, 327HE4)

Fit the handle using two screws.

Fitting the cutting head

(327HDA65)

It is important that the hedge trimmer is laid on a ???at surface when you ???t the cutting head. Otherwise the cutting head may not be ???tted straight.

1Fit the cutting head to the shaft. CAUTION! Make sure the drive shaft inside the shaft engages with the recess in the cutting head.

2Tighten the lower screw ???rst, then the upper screw.

Adjusting the harness

(327HE4)

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.

1Put on the harness.

2Hook the machine onto the harness support hook.

3Adjust the length of the harness so that the support hook is roughly level with your right hip.

Fuel safety

Never start the machine:

1If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.

2If 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.

3If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

???Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked ???ames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/ switches or boilers.

???When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose.

???When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to ???nd out where to dispose of excess fuel.

???Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.

???The transport guard must always be ???tted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage.

???Secure the machine during transport.

???In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine, the spark plug cap must always be removed during long-term storage, if the machine is not under close supervision and when performing all service measures.

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

Gasoline

CAUTION! Always use a quality gasoline/oil mixture with an octane rating of at least 87 octane ((RON+MON)/2). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always use a good quality unleaded gasoline/oil mixture. Leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter.

Use low-emission gasoline, also known as alkylate gasoline, if it is available.

This engine is certi???ed to operate on unleaded gasoline.

???The lowest recommended octane grade is 87 ((RON+MON)/2). If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 87 so-called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature and increased bearing load, which can result in serious engine damage.

???When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended.

Two-stroke oil

???For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for our air-cooled two stroke-engines.

???Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated TCW).

???Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

???Mixing ratio

1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil.

Mixing

???Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.

???Always start by ???lling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.

???Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before ???lling the machine???s fuel tank.

???Do not mix more than one month???s supply of fuel at a time.

???If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

Fueling

WARNING! Taking the following

!precautions, will lessen the risk of ???re:

Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.

Always shut off the engine before refuelling.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.

???Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems.

???Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before ???lling the tank.

Check before starting

???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.

???Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight.

???Make sure the gear housing is lubricated correctly. See instructions under the heading Gear housing.

???Check that the cutting attachment always stops when the engine is idling.

???Only use the machine for the purpose it was intended for.

???Make sure that the handle and safety features are in good working order. Never use a machine that lacks a part or has been modi???ed outside its speci???cations.

???All covers must be correctly ???tted and undamaged before you start the machine.

Starting and stopping

Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling position before starting. Place the machine on a ???rm surface. Remember that the blades may start to move when the engine is started. Make sure the blades cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure that no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury.

The safety distance is 15 metres.

Starting

Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins to ???ll the bulb. The bulb need not be completely ???lled.

Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.

Push the choke control back to its original position as soon as the engine ???res, and continue trying to start until the engine starts.

CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.

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

General working instructions

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.

Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.

Personal protection

???Always wear boots and other equipment described under the heading Personal protective equipment.

???Always wear working clothes and heavy-duty long trousers.

???Never wear loose clothing or jewellery.

???Make sure your hair does not hang below shoulder level.

Safety instructions regarding the surroundings

???Never allow children to use the machine.

???Ensure that no-one comes closer than 15 m while you are working.

???Never allow anyone else to use the machine without ???rst ensuring that they have understood the contents of the operator???s manual.

???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.

Safety instructions while working

???Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position.

???Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the machine at the side of your body.

???Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.

???Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near the cutting attachment when the engine is running.

???When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the cutting attachment until it has stopped completely.

???Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown out during cutting.

???Always lay the machine on the ground when you are not using it.

???Do not cut too close to the ground. Stones and other objects can be thrown out.

???Check the working area for foreign objects such as electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or other objects that could damage the cutting attachment, such as metal items.

???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 HT lead from the spark plug.

???Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

Safety instructions after completing work

???The transport guard should always be ???tted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.

???Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

???Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.

???Store the machine out of reach of children.

???Use only original spare parts for repairs.

Basic working techniques

???Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides.

???Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.

???When trimming a hedge the engine should always face away from the hedge.

???Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance.

???Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.

???Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly.

Changing the hedge trimmer angle

(327HE3, 327HE4)

???Loosen the knob on the shaft (clockwise).

???Press the cutting unit against the hedge or some other ???rm surface until the required angle is set.

???Turn the knob (anti-clockwise).

(327HDA65)

???Undo the knob.

???Press the cutting unit against the hedge or some other ???rm surface until the required angle is set.

???Tighten the knob.

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).

3Grip 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.

4Fold down the cutting unit against the shaft.

5Turn the knob (anti-clockwise).

CAUTION! When the stop position has been passed the blades are blocked, do not try to cut with the cutting unit in this position.

Carburetor

Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured to speci???cations that reduce harmful emissions. After the engine has used 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine will be run-in.To ensure that it continues to run at peak performance and to minimise harmful exhaust emissions after the running-in period, ask your dealer/ service workshop (who will have a rev counter at their disposal) to adjust your carburettor.

Function

???The carburetor governs the engine???s speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburetor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is essential to get the best performance from the machine.

???The setting of the carburetor means that the engine is adapted to local conditions, for example, the climate, altitude, fuel and the type of 2-stroke oil.

???The carburetor has three adjustment controls: L = Low speed jet

H = High speed jet

T = Idle adjustment screw

???The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel to match the rate that air is admitted, which is controlled with the throttle. If they are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less fuel) and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio becomes richer (more fuel). A lean mixture gives a higher engine speed and a rich mixture gives a lower engine speed.

???The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.

Basic setting

???The basic carburetor settings are adjusted during testing at the factory. The basic setting is richer than

the optimal setting and should be maintained for the ???rst few hours the machine is in use. The carburettor should then be ???nely adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled technician.

CAUTION! If the blades move while the engine is idling the T screw should be turned anti-clockwise until they stop.

Adjustment of the idle speed

Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air ???lter is clean and the air ???lter cover is ???tted.

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. Then turn the idle adjustment screw T anticlockwise until the blades stop.The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine runs smoothly in every position.There should also be a clear margin to the speed at which the blades start to move.

The blades must also remain stationary when the choke control is in the start throttle position.

Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.

WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be ! adjusted so that the cutting attachment

stops, contact your dealer/service workshop. Do not use the machine until it has been correctly adjusted or repaired.

Muf???er

CAUTION! Some muf???ers are ???tted with a catalytic converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether your machine is ???tted with a catalytic converter.

The muf???er is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may

cause ???re if directed against dry and combustible material.

Some muf???ers are equipped with a special spark arrestor screen. If your machine has this type of muf???er, you should clean the screen at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush.

On muf???ers without a catalytic converter the screen should be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On muf???ers ???tted with a catalytic converter the screen should be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the screen is damaged it should be replaced. If the screen is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muf???er. A blocked screen will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston.

CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muf???er.

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.

4

3 2

1

The cooling system consists of:

1Air intake on the starter.

2Fins on the ???ywheel.

3Cooling ???ns on the cylinder.

4Cylinder 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.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is in???uenced by:

???Incorrect carburetor adjustment.

???An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).

???A dirty air ???lter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting dif???culties.

If the machine is low on power, dif???cult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug ???rst before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.020 inch (0.5

mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/ cylinder. Check that the spark plug is ???tted with a suppressor.

Air ???lter

The air ???lter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:

???Carburettor malfunctions

???Starting problems

???Loss of engine power

???Unnecessary wear to engine parts

???Excessive fuel consumption.

Clean the ???lter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.

Cleaning the air ???lter

Remove the air ???lter cover and take out the ???lter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the ???lter is dry before re???tting it.

An air ???lter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The ???lter must therefore be replaced

with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air ???lter

must always be replaced.

If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air ???lter should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the heading Oiling the air ???lter.

Oiling the air ???lter

Always use HUSQVARNA ???lter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. The ???lter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the ???lter. You should therefore avoid skin contact.

Put the ???lter in a plastic bag and pour the ???lter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the ???lter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before ???tting the ???lter to the machine. Never use common engine oil.This would drain through the ???lter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.

Gear

There is a grease nipple and a plug for ???lling lubricant on the gear housing. Use a grease gun to ???ll with grease. This should be done after every 60 working hours. Use Husqvarna???s special grease, no. 503 98 96-01.

CAUTION! The gear housing must not be ???lled completely with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up during operation. If the gear housing was completely ???lled with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.
