SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Cutting attachment guard  
Quick release  
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being  
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the  
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.  
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the front  
as a safety precaution in case the engine catches fire, or in  
any other situation that requires you to free yourself from the  
machine and harness. See instructions under the heading  
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw.  
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment  
without an approved guard. See the chapter  
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty  
Muffler  
!
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum  
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.  
guard is fitted this can cause serious  
personal injury.  
A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to  
reduce harmful exhaust gases.  
Vibration damping system  
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system  
that is designed to minimise vibration and make operation  
easier.  
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.  
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting  
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions  
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of  
vibration.  
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer  
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and  
the machine′s handle unit.  
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions  
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See  
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and  
servicing the machine’s safety equipment.  
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic  
converters get very hot during use and  
remain so for some time after stopping.This  
also applies at idle speed. Contact can result  
in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of  
fire!  
!
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 fingers, hands or wrists.The risk  
increases at low temperatures.  
WARNING! The inside of muffler contain  
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid  
contact with these elements in the event of a  
damaged muffler.

Cutting equipment  
IMPORTANT!  
This section describes how to choose and maintain your  
cutting equipment in order to:  
Reduce the risk of kickback.  
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct  
sharpening instructions.  
Obtain maximum cutting performance.  
Extend the life of cutting equipment.  
•
•
Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat file.  
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we  
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.  
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the  
blade.  
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check  
the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord  
diameter.  
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our  
recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the  
blade packaging.  
Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions  
and use the recommended file gauge.  
Trimmer head  
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer  
cords.These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit  
a particular engine size.This is especially important when  
a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use the  
recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on  
Technical data.  
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting  
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened  
blade increases the risk of kickback.  
!
Filing the saw blade  
•
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct  
sharpening instructions.A correctly filed blade is essential  
for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to  
the blade and clearing saw.  
•
•
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads  
and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a  
cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the  
trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass  
being cleared.  
Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file  
it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.  
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord  
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the  
same diameter.  
•
•
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact.  
This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.  
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water  
for a couple of days.This will make the line tougher so that  
it lasts longer.  
•
The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right and  
those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily  
pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top  
edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional cases. If  
so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The  
top edges must be filed down by the same amount for all  
the teeth.  
IMPORTANT!  
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly  
around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate  
harmful vibration.  
WARNING! Always stop the engine before  
doing any work on the cutting attachment.  
This continues to rotate even after the  
throttle has been released. Ensure that the  
cutting attachment has stopped completely  
and disconnect the HT lead from the spark  
plug before you start to work on it.  
!
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.

Basic safety rules  
Safety release  
1
•
Look around you:  
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot  
affect your control of the machine.  
At the front is an easily accessible, quick release. Use this if  
the engine catches fire or in any other emergency situation  
that requires you to free yourself from the machine and  
harness.  
•
To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into  
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that  
are thrown out by the cutting attachment.  
•
CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to  
call for help in the event of an accident.  
2
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense  
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in  
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as  
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.  
Certain harnesses also have a quick release fitted to the  
support hook.  
3
Make sure you can move and stand safely.Check the area  
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,  
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take  
great care when working on sloping ground.  
4
Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension. A  
tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal  
position before or after being cut. If you position yourself  
incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may  
hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control. Both  
situations can cause serious personal injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
•
Work systematically to and fro across the area, clearing a  
Basic working techniques  
width of around 4-5 m on each pass. This exploits the full  
reach of the machine in both directions and gives the  
operator a convenient and varied working area to work in.  
•
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working  
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on  
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.  
Terms  
•
Forestry clearing is a general term for cutting small trees,  
during which each stem is cut individually. A saw blade is  
used.  
•
•
Clear a strip around 75 m long. Move your fuel can as  
work progresses.  
•
•
Brush cutting is a general term for clearing grass. Grass  
blades and grass cutters are used for this purpose.  
On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It is  
much easier to work along a slope than it is to work up and  
down it.  
•
You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over  
ditches or other obstacles on the ground.You should also  
orient the strip to take advantage of wind conditions, so  
that cleared stems fall in the cleared area of the stand.  
Grass trimming is a general term for light clearing, e.g.  
around edges or around trees. A trimmer head or plastic  
blades are used.  
WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass  
get caught between the guard and cutting  
attachment. Always stop the engine before  
cleaning.  
!
The ABC of clearing  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Always use the correct equipment.  
Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.  
Follow the safety precautions.  
Forestry clearing using a saw blade  
Organise your work carefully.  
•
The risk of kickback increases with increasing stem size.  
You should therefore avoid cutting with the area of the  
blade between 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock.  
Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the blade.  
Always use sharp blades.  
Avoid stones.  
Control the felling direction (take advantage of the wind).  
WARNING! Avoid cutting with the area of the  
blade between the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock  
positions. Because of the speed of rotation  
of the blade kickback can occur if you  
attempt to cut thick stems with this area of  
the blade.  
!
•
To fell to the left, the bottom of the tree should be pushed  
to the right. Tilt the blade and bring it diagonally down to  
the right, exerting firm pressure. At the same time push  
the stem using the blade guard. Cut with the area of the  
blade between 3 o’clock and 5 o’clock. Apply full throttle  
before advancing the blade.  
Working methods  
•
•
Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the  
type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there are  
stones, hollows etc.  
Start at whichever end of the area is easiest, and clear an  
open space from which to work.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
•
To fell to the right, the bottom of the tree should be pushed  
Grass clearing using a grass blade  
to the left. Tilt the blade and bring it diagonally up to the  
right. Cut with the area of the blade between 3 o’clock and  
5 o’clock so that the direction of rotation of the blade  
pushes the bottom of the tree to the left.  
•
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on  
woody stems.  
•
•
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.  
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging  
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the  
clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the  
return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between  
8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.  
•
To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be  
pulled backwards. Pull the blade backwards with a quick,  
firm movement.  
•
•
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the  
grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect,  
e.g. by raking.  
•
Large stems must be cut from two sides. First determine  
which direction the stem will fall. Make the first cut on the  
felling side. Then finish cutting the stem from the other  
side. Adjust the cutting pressure to match the size of the  
stem and the hardness of the wood. Small stems require  
more pressure, while large stems require less pressure.  
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.  
Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly  
again.  
•
•
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is  
used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.  
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by  
following these instructions:  
1
2
Always work at full throttle.  
Avoid the previously cut material during the return  
stroke.  
•
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the  
machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut  
material.  
•
•
If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your walking pace to  
suit.  
If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the machine free. If  
you do this the blade, bevel gear, shaft or handlebar may  
be damaged. Release the handles, grip the shaft with  
both hands and gently pull the machine free.  
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.  
!
Brush cutting with a saw blade  
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.  
You could get burnt if you touch it.  
•
Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work with a  
sawing movement, swinging sideways.  
•
•
Try to cut several stems in a single sawing movement.  
With groups of hardwood stems, first clear around the  
group. Start by cutting the stems high up around the  
outside of the group to avoid jamming.Then cut the stems  
to the required height. Now try to reach in with the blade  
and cut from the centre of the group. If it is still difficult to  
gain access, cut the stems high up and let them fall. This  
will reduce the risk of jamming.  
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.  
Always wear eye protection. Never lean over  
the cutting attachment guard. Stones,  
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes  
causing blindness or serious injury.  
!
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.  
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers  
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15  
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone  
approaches. Never swing the machine  
around without first checking behind you to  
make sure no-one is within the safety zone.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Sweeping  
Grass trimming with a trimmer head  
•
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.  
Trimming  
•
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle.  
It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord  
work at its own pace. Never press the cord into the area  
to be cut.  
•
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.  
•
•
The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up against  
walls, fences, trees and borders, however it can also  
damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes, and damage  
fence posts.  
!
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the  
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.  
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.  
You could get burnt if you touch it.  
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. CAUTION! This technique increases  
the wear on the cord.  
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.  
Always wear eye protection. Never lean over  
the cutting attachment guard. Stones,  
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes  
causing blindness or serious injury.  
!
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.  
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers  
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15  
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone  
approaches.  
•
•
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.  
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.

Forestry clearing  
The machine is balanced by moving the support ring on  
the machine forwards or backwards. On some models the  
support ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number  
of holes for the support hook. The machine is correctly  
balanced when it freely hangs horizontally from the  
support hook. In this way the risk of hitting stones is  
reduced if you need to release the handlebar.  
Adjusting the harness  
1
Tighten the hip strap so that it sits securely.  
2
Tighten the chest strap under your left arm so that it fits  
closely around your body.

FUEL HANDLING  
•
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.  
Fuel  
CAUTION!The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine  
and must always been run using a mixture of petrol 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.  
•
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the  
machine’s fuel tank.  
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate  
ventilation when handling fuel.  
!
Petrol  
•
•
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.  
CAUTION! Always use a good quality petrol/oil mixture (at  
least 90 octane). 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.  
WARNING! The catalytic converter muffler  
gets very hot during and after use.This also  
applies during idling. Be aware of the fire  
hazard, especially when working near  
!
flammable substances and/or vapours.  
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is  
available.  
Fuelling  
•
•
The lowest recommended octane rating is 90. If you run  
the engine on a petrol with a lower octane rating than 90  
this can cause knocking. This leads to an increased  
engine temperature, which can result in serious engine  
damage.  
WARNING!Taking the following precautions,  
will lessen the risk of fire:  
!
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 working at continuous high revs a higher octane  
rating is recommended.  
Two-stroke oil  
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.  
•
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-  
stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke  
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).  
•
If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available, you may  
use another two-stroke oil of good quality that is intended  
for air cooled engines.Contact your dealer when selecting  
an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).  
•
•
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.

STARTING AND STOPPING  
Check before starting  
Starting and stopping  
•
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at  
the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most  
common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp  
corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while  
sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull  
teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.  
WARNING! The complete clutch cover and  
shaft must be fitted before the machine is  
started, otherwise the clutch can come loose  
and cause personal injury.  
!
Always move the machine away from the  
refuelling area before starting. Place the  
machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting  
attachment cannot come into contact with  
any object.  
Make sure no unauthorised persons are in  
the working area, otherwise there is a risk of  
serious personal injury.The safety distance  
is 15 metres.  
•
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.

STARTING AND STOPPING  
Stopping  
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.  
WARNING! When the engine is started with  
the choke in either the choke or start throttle  
positions the cutting attachment will start to  
rotate immediately.  
!
Starting  
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. Reset the choke control as soon as  
the engine fires and repeat until the engine starts. When the  
engine starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle will  
automatically disengage from the start setting. Never twist  
the starter cord around your hand.  
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.

MAINTENANCE  
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine  
is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be turned anti-  
Carburettor  
clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.  
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and  
manufactured to specifications 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.  
240R, 245R/RX, 250R, 252RX:  
Rec. idle speed 2700 rpm  
265RX: Rec. idle speed 2250 rpm  
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.  
!
WARNING! The complete clutch cover and  
shaft must be fitted before the machine is  
started, otherwise the clutch can come loose  
and cause personal injury.  
!
CAUTION! The machine should only be run for short periods  
at its highest speed. For optimum adjustment of the  
carburettor, contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that  
has a revolution counter at their disposal.  
Function  
Recommended max. speed: See theTechnical data section.  
During the running-in period (8-10 tanks of fuel) the maximum  
speed should be set 600-700 rpm below the recommended  
maximum speed (= open the high speed jet H a further 1/8  
turn).  
•
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the  
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.  
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is  
essential to get the best performance from the machine.  
Conditions  
•
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air  
filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted. If you adjust  
the carburettor when the air filter is dirty it will result in a  
leaner mixture when the filter is finally cleaned. This can  
lead to serious engine damage.  
•
•
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is  
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,  
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.  
The carburettor has three adjustment controls:  
L = Low speed jet  
•
•
•
Carefully turn both jets, L and H, so that they are midway  
between fully screwed in and fully screwed out.  
H = High speed jet  
Do not attempt to adjust the L and H jets beyond either  
stop as this could cause damage.  
T = Idle adjustment screw  
Now start the machine according to the starting  
instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes.  
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the  
engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be  
turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.  
Low speed jet L  
Try to find the highest idle speed by turning the low speed jet  
L clockwise then anti-clockwise.When the highest speed has  
been found, turn the low speed jet L 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.  
•
•
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.  
+ 1/4  
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.  
L
Fine adjustment of the idle speed T  
Basic setting  
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is  
necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T  
clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then  
turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment  
stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine  
will run smoothly in every position.The idle speed should also  
be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts  
to rotate.  
•
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing  
at the factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal  
setting and should be maintained for the first few hours the  
machine is in use. The carburettor should then be finely  
adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a  
skilled technician.  
The basic setting can vary between: H = 1 - 1 1/4 turns  
and L = 1 - 1 1/4 turns.

MAINTENANCE  
your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the  
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.  
mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a wire  
brush. On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh  
should be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On  
mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be  
checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is  
damaged it should be replaced.  
!
High speed jet H  
If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the  
performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact  
your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will cause  
the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder  
and piston.  
The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed,  
temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is  
set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too  
high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at  
full speed for more than 10 seconds.  
240R/245R/245RX  
250R/252RX  
Apply full throttle and turn the high speed jet H very slowly  
clockwise until the engine slows down. Then turn the high  
speed jet H very slowly anticlockwise until the engine starts to  
run unevenly. Now turn the high speed jet H slowly clockwise  
a little way until the engine runs smoothly.  
265RX  
H
Note that the engine should not be under load when you  
adjust the high speed jet H.You should therefore remove the  
cutting attachment, nut, support flange and drive disc before  
adjusting the high speed jet H.  
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.  
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic  
converters get very hot during use and  
remain so for some time after stopping.This  
also applies at idle speed. Contact can result  
in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of  
fire!  
The high speed jet H is adjusted correctly when the machine  
burbles a little. If the machine races then the setting is too  
lean. If the engine produces a lot of smoke and burbles a lot  
then the setting is too rich.  
!
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor,  
contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a  
revolution counter at their disposal.  
Cooling system  
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine will  
accelerate without hesitation and burble a little at maximum  
speed. It is also important that the cutting attachment does  
not rotate at idle. If the low speed jet L is set too lean it may  
cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If the high  
speed jet H is set too lean it will result in less power, less  
performance, poor acceleration and/or damage to the engine.  
If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in  
acceleration problems or too low a working speed.  
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the  
machine is equipped with a cooling system.  
Muffler  
The cooling system consists of:  
1
2
3
4
Air intake on the starter.  
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter.  
See chapter on Technical data to see whether your machine  
is fitted with a catalytic converter.  
Fins on the flywheel.  
Cooling fins on the cylinder.  
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).  
The muffler 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 fire  
if directed against dry and combustible material. Some  
mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If  
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  
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.  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt  
in order to avoid:  
•
•
•
•
•
Carburettor malfunctions  
Starting problems  
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. This would drain through the filter quite  
quickly and collect in the bottom.  
Loss of engine power  
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.  
Excessive fuel consumption.  
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions  
are exceptionally dusty.  
Cleaning the air filter  
240R, 245R/RX  
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it  
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before  
refitting it.  
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be  
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced with  
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must  
always be replaced.  
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter should  
be soaked in oil.See instructions under the heading Oiling the  
air filter.  
Bevel gear  
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the  
factory. However, before using the machine you should check  
that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters full with grease.Use  
HUSQVARNA special grease.  
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be  
changed except if repairs are carried out.  
250R, 252RX  
Remove the air filter cover and remove both filters, A and B.  
A is an air filter and B is a pre-filter. Both must be washed in  
warm soapy water and dried. Filter A must then be soaked in  
oil, see instructions under the heading Oiling the air filter.  
A
B

MAINTENANCE  
Spark plug  
Filing the saw blade  
The spark plug condition is influenced by:  
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting  
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened  
blade increases the risk of kickback.  
•
•
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.  
!
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of  
oil).  
•
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct  
sharpening instructions.A correctly filed blade is essential  
for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to  
the blade and clearing saw.  
•
A dirty air filter.  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,  
which may result in operating problems and starting  
difficulties.  
Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file  
it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.  
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly  
at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking  
any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check  
that the electrode gap is 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.  
•
The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right and  
those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily  
pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top  
edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional cases. If  
so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The  
top edges must be filed down by the same amount for all  
the teeth.  
Sharpening grass cutters and grass  
blades  
WARNING! Always stop the engine before  
doing any work on the cutting attachment.  
This continues to rotate even after the  
throttle has been released. Ensure that the  
cutting attachment has stopped completely  
and disconnect the HT lead from the spark  
plug before you start to work on it.  
!
•
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.  
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct  
sharpening instructions.  
•
•
Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat file.  
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the  
blade.  
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is  
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged  
in any other way. Never attempt to straighten  
a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only  
use original blades of the specified type.
