Dear customer!
Thank you for choosing a Husqvarna product!
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and
that it will be your companion for a long time. A purchase of
one of our products gives you access to professional help with
repairs and services. If the retailer who sells your machine is
not one of our authorised dealers, ask him for the address of
your nearest service workshop.
This operator's manual is a valuable document. Make sure it
is always at hand at the work place. 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.
More than 300 years of innovation
Husqvarna AB is a Swedish company based on a tradition
that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Charles XI
ordered the construction of a factory for production of
muskets. At that time, the foundation was already laid for the
engineering skills behind the development of some of the
world's leading products in areas such as hunting weapons,
bicycles, motorcycles, domestic appliances, sewing
machines and outdoor products.
Husqvarna is the global leader in outdoor power products for
forestry, park maintenance and lawn and garden care, as well
as cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction
and stone industries.

PRESENTATION
Active Air Filtration™
Centrifugal air cleaning for longer service life and longer
service intervals.
SmartCarb™
Built-in automatic filter compensation maintains high power
and reduces fuel consumption.
Dura Starter™
Dust sealed starter unit, where the return spring and the
pulley bearing are sealed which makes the starter virtually
maintenance free and even more reliable.
X-Torq®
The X-Torq® engine provides a more accessible torque for a
wider range of speeds which results in maximum cutting
capacity. X-Torq® reduces the fuel consumption with up to
20% and the emissions with up to 60%.
EasyStart
The engine and starter are designed to ensure quick and
easy starting of the machine. Reduces the pull resistance in
the starter cord with up to 40%. (Reduces the compression
during starting.)
Air purge
When you push the air purge diaphragm, fuel is pumped
through to the carburettor. Fewer pulls are required for
starting, meaning the machine becomes easier to start.
DEX (K 970)
Low flushing wet cutting kit for effective dust handling.
Efficient vibration damping system
Efficient vibration dampers spare arms and hands.
Reversible cutting head
The machine is fitted with a reversible cutting head allowing
cutting close to a wall or at ground level, restricted only by the
thickness of the blade guard.
