Husqvarna H353 Parts Manual

To start your Husqvarna H353 Chainsaw, ensure the chain brake is engaged, switch the ignition on, pull the choke out, and pull the starter handle until the engine fires. Push the choke in halfway and pull again until the engine starts.
Use a high-quality unleaded gasoline mixed with Husqvarna two-stroke oil at a ratio of 50:1.
Check for fuel issues, ensure the spark plug is clean and functional, and verify that the air filter is not clogged. Also, confirm that the chain brake is disengaged and the kill switch is in the 'on' position.
Secure the chainsaw, use a round file that matches the cutter size, and file each cutter at a consistent angle. Ensure all cutters are filed evenly.
Check and clean the air filter after every 5 hours of operation or more frequently in dusty conditions to ensure optimal performance.
Overheating can be caused by a dull chain, clogged air filter, or improper fuel mix. Make sure the chain is sharp, the air filter is clean, and the fuel is correctly mixed.
Turn off the chainsaw and let it cool. Remove the bar nuts, take off the chain cover, remove the old chain, place the new chain on the bar, and reassemble the cover and nuts. Adjust tension before use.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, sharpening the chain, checking the chain tension, inspecting the spark plug, and cleaning the cooling fins.
Loosen the bar nuts slightly, adjust the tensioning screw until the chain is snug but moves freely by hand, then retighten the bar nuts securely.
Excessive vibration can be due to a loose chain, worn sprocket, or damaged guide bar. Check these components and replace or tighten them as necessary.
