GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Important IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for trimming grass, grass clearing and/or forestry clearing. The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the chapter on Technical data. Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BOOTS Wear boots with steel toe-caps and non-slip sole. CLOTHING Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and avoid loose clothing that can catch on twigs and branches. Always wear heavy, long pants. Do not wear jewellery, shorts sandals or go barefoot.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS saw. Certain harnesses also have a quick release fitted to the support hook. Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the harness quick release works correctly. Muffler The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS should operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening the nut. The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced. Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades • See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat file. •...
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Trimmer head IMPORTANT! Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration. • Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords. These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular engine size.
Fitting the handlebar (232R) • Remove the screw at the rear of the throttle handle. • Slide the throttle handle onto the right side of the handlebar, (see diagram). • Align the screw hole in the throttle handle with the hole in the handlebar.
• Fit the wiring as shown. • Put on the harness and hang the machine from the support hook. Now make a final adjustment so that the machine is in a comfortable working position when it hangs from the harness. Tighten the knob. Transport position, handlebar •...

the spanner in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation (Caution! left-hand thread). • When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You should therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded by the blade guard when doing this.
Fitting the trimmer guard and trimmer head Trimmy SII (235R, 235FR) • Fit the correct trimmer guard (A) for use with the trimmer head. CAUTION! Ensure that the guard extension is fitted. Hang the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) on the two hooks on the plate holder (M).
Place the locking pin in the groove on the screw head and tighten. See diagram. • Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft. • Turn the blade shaft until one of the holes in the drive disc aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear housing.
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).
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. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.
Check before starting • 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.

Brush cutting with a saw blade • 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.

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.
