Husqvarna H445E Ignition System Parts Manual

To replace the ignition coil, first ensure the chainsaw is powered off and the spark plug is disconnected. Remove the top cover and the flywheel, then unscrew the ignition module. Install the new coil, set the proper gap using a business card between the flywheel and coil, and reassemble the parts.
Disconnect the ignition coil and use a multimeter to check the resistance between the terminals. Refer to the user manual for specific resistance values. If the reading is outside the specified range, the coil may need replacement.
Possible causes include a faulty ignition coil, a damaged spark plug, or a disconnected kill switch wire. Inspect and replace any damaged components and verify all connections.
It is recommended to inspect the spark plug after every 25 hours of use and replace it if it shows signs of wear or damage, or at least once a season.
Use a Champion RCJ7Y or equivalent spark plug with a 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) gap for the Husqvarna H445E chainsaw.
The ignition timing on the Husqvarna H445E is factory-set and not adjustable. If there are timing issues, inspect the flywheel key and ignition coil for damage.
Check the spark plug for fouling, clean or replace if necessary. Inspect the fuel filter and lines for blockages, and ensure the air filter is clean. Adjust carburetor settings if needed.
Regularly inspect and clean the spark plug, keep the ignition coil free of debris, and ensure all electrical connections are secure. Use fresh fuel and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
Store the chainsaw in a dry environment, cover it with a protective case, and avoid operating it in heavy rain or wet conditions. Apply dielectric grease to electrical connections to prevent corrosion.
Backfiring can be caused by incorrect ignition timing, a damaged spark plug, or improper carburetor settings. Check the flywheel key, replace the spark plug if needed, and adjust the carburetor settings according to the manual.
