Things to consider
when working with a
Husqvarna chainsaw.
How do I choose the right chainsaw?
Consider how often you will use the saw and what you will use it for.
For instance, if you occasionally cut firewood and fell a few trees
around your home, you may prefer a consumer saw like the Husqvarna
240 e-series, or an all-round chainsaw like the Husqvarna 440 e-series.
How do I learn to use a chainsaw properly?
The fundamentals of cutting techniques, safety and maintenance can
be studied in the manual of your Husqvarna chainsaw and in various
instruction books or films. Practical competence requires practice,
and you might consider taking a course.
What protective equipment
do I need to operate a chainsaw?
Never use a chainsaw without protective trousers with chainsaw
protection, a helmet with visor and hearing protection, boots with
chainsaw protection and gloves. You should also carry a first aid kit
and preferably a mobile phone.
What type of fuel should I use and can I use any chain oil?
Husqvarna chainsaws should always be run on a mixture of petrol and
good-quality two-stroke oil. If you use Husqvarna’s two-stroke oil,
which is optimized for Husqvarna’s engines, a 2% mixture is sufficient.
Yes, you can use any chain oil, provided it’s a saw chain oil of good
quality, preferably biodegradable. To maximize the life of the saw bar
and chain we recommend our own saw chain oil, optimized for
Husqvarna’s chainsaws.
When should I file the chain? Can I do it myself?
A sharp chain chews through the wood effortlessly, producing coarse
sawdust. A rule of thumb is to file the chain each time you refuel the
chainsaw. You can do it yourself – easiest is to use a Husqvarna file kit.
