Always wear approved protective gloves. speed of output shaft, rpm Regular cleaning is required. Watch out for thrown objects and ricochets. The operator of the machine must ensure, while working, that no persons or animals come closer than 15 metres. Machines fitted with saw blades or grass blades can be thrown violently to the side when the blade comes into contact with a fixed object. [. . . ] This technique increases the wear on the cord. 4 Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting the equipment any distance. Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight. • The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal fences, etc. , than when coming into contact with trees and wooden fences. When trimming and clearing you should use less than full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head. 5 • English –9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cutting • The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool. • Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head. Sweeping • The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro. • When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results. ! WARNING!Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or the blade is rotating, as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and blade before you remove material that has wound around the blade shaft as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when handling fuel. Two-stroke oil • For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA twostroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke engines. Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil. Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Gasoline CAUTION!Always use high grade unleaded oil mixed gasoline (minimum 87 RON). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the catalytic converter and it will no longer serve its purpose. Use low-emission gasoline, also known as alkylate gasoline, if it is available. 2 1/2 5 Mixing • • Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank. • • • This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. [. . . ] Check and clean the spark arrestor mesh on the muffler (only applies to mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter). 22 – English TECHNICAL DATA Technical data 123C Engine Cylinder volume, cu. in/cm3 Cylinder bore, inch/mm Stroke, inch/mm Idle speed, rpm Recommended max. speed, rpm Speed of output shaft, rpm Max. to ISO 8893, kW/ rpm Catalytic converter muffler Speed-regulated ignition system Ignition system Manufacturer/type of ignition system Spark plug Electrode gap, inch/mm Fuel and lubrication system Manufacturer/type of carburettor Fuel tank capacity, US pint/litre Weight Weight without fuel, cutting attachment and guard, Lbs/kg Sound levels (see note 1) Equivalent sound pressure level at the user′s ear, measured according to ANSI B175. 3-1997, dB(A), min/max: Vibration levels Vibration levels at handles, measured according to ANSI B175. 3-1997, m/s2 At idle, left/right handles, min. : At idle, left/right handles, max. : At max. speed, left/right handles, min. : At max.
