Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production of muskets.
This product is in accordance with applicable EC directives. Gloves should be worn when necessary. The blower can forcibly throw objects that can bounce back. This can result in serious eye injuries if the recommended safety equipment is not used.
It is extremely important that you read and understand the contents of this Operator’s manual. Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.
