  If the red error LED flashes on your Husqvarna Pole Saw, it could be due to several reasons: * **Overload:** The cutting attachment might be blocked. Stop the product, remove the battery, and clean any materials blocking the cutting attachment. Also, loosen the chain. * **Temperature deviation:** The product might be overheating. Allow it to cool down. * **Simultaneous button press:** You might be pushing the power trigger and the start button at the same time. Release the power trigger and then push the start button.

The Husqvarna 530iPX is a battery-powered pole saw designed for forestry clearing work, specifically for cutting branches and twigs. It is equipped with an electrical motor and is part of Husqvarna's BLi battery product line.

Function Description:

The 530iPX operates as a pole saw, allowing the user to cut branches and twigs from a distance. Its primary function is to provide a safe and efficient method for clearing overhead growth without the need for ladders or climbing. The product is designed to be used with a harness (accessory) to support its weight and improve handling, reducing operator fatigue. The saw head can be adjusted to a 90° angle, enabling versatile cutting positions. A "SavE" power-saving function is integrated, which decreases chain speed to extend battery operation time without significantly impacting cutting power.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model: 530iPX
Motor Type: BLDC (brushless) 36 V
Chain Speed: 20 m/s (3/8)
Oil Tank Capacity: 0.15 l / 150 cm³

Equivalent Sound Pressure Level at Operator's Ear (EN ISO 22868): 96 dB(A)
Vibration Levels at Handles (ISO 22867, m/s²): 1.2/2.6 (left/right, with chain clearance saw)
Recommended Maximum Diameter for Trees to be Cut: 15 cm / 6 in.
Approved Batteries: Only original Husqvarna BLi batteries.
Approved Battery Chargers: QC330 (330W) and QC500 (500W), both supporting 100-240V mains voltage and 50-60Hz frequency.
Guide Bar Lengths: Available in 10 inches (3/8 pitch, 1.3 mm gauge) with 40 drive links, featuring low kickback.
Saw Chain: Husqvarna H37, 3/8 pitch, 0.050/0.025 drive link width, with 5056981-03 and 5056981-93 part numbers.

Usage Features:

Battery Operation: The product uses rechargeable BLi batteries, which are software encrypted and designed for Husqvarna products. The battery is inserted into a holder and locks into place with a click.
Keypad Control: Features a start/stop button with an LED indicator (green for ON, off for OFF) and a SavE button to activate the power-saving mode. A warning indicator on the keypad signals issues.
Power Trigger and Lockout: A power trigger controls the speed, and a power trigger lockout prevents accidental operation. Both return to their original positions via independent springs.
Harness System: An accessory harness (Husqvarna 530iPX) is used to support the product's weight, improving control and reducing operator fatigue. It includes shoulder strap eyelets, chest strap eyelets, and an elastic strap for secure attachment. A quick-release function on the harness allows for safe detachment in emergencies.
Adjustable Saw Head: The saw head can be rotated 90° to optimize cutting angles for various tasks.
Branch Hook: An integrated branch hook (accessory) assists in steering the tree into the target direction, especially for larger trees.
Chain Oil System: The product has a chain oil tank that needs to be filled with Husqvarna chain oil to ensure adequate lubrication of the cutting equipment. The oil channel and bar tip sprocket lubrication hole should be regularly checked and cleaned.
Working Area Safety: Operators are advised to maintain a safety distance of at least 15 m (50 ft) from other people and animals. The product should not be used in bad weather conditions (dense fog, heavy rain, strong winds, intense cold, lightning).
Cutting Technique: Recommendations include working in the 9 to 12 o'clock sector, making an initial cut on the underside of branches under tension to prevent bark tearing, and using the stop at the base of the cutting head for support.
Temperature Considerations: If operated below -10°C, the product and battery must be stored in a heated space for at least 24 hours before use. Batteries should be charged and stored within specific temperature ranges (5°C to 40°C for charging, 5°C to 25°C for storage).

Maintenance Features:

Regular Checks: Daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks are outlined, including:
- Cleaning external parts with a dry cloth.
- Checking the functionality and condition of the start/stop button, power trigger, and power trigger lockout.
- Ensuring all controls are working and undamaged.
- Keeping handles dry and clean, free from oil and grease.
- Inspecting the saw chain cover for damage.
- Checking screws and nuts for tightness.
- Cleaning the oil tank cap.
- Verifying battery release buttons and battery lock functionality.
- Examining the battery and battery charger for damage and proper function.
- Checking all cables, couplings, and connections for damage or dirt.
- Cleaning the saw chain cover.
Saw Chain Maintenance:
- Daily inspection for cracks in rivets and links, rigidity, and wear compared to a new chain.
- Replacement when cutting teeth wear down to 4 mm (0.16 in.).
- Sharpening of cutting teeth using a round file and file gauge, following specific filing and cutting angles.
- Adjustment of depth gauge setting using a flat file and depth gauge tool, recommended after every third sharpening operation.
- Tensioning the chain regularly to prevent derailment, ensuring it is tight against the guide bar but can still move easily.
- Checking chain lubrication each time the product is refueled by aiming the bar tip at a light-colored surface to observe an oil line.
Guide Bar Maintenance:
- Regularly checking the oil channel for blockages and cleaning if necessary.
- Examining for burrs on the edges and removing them with a file.
- Cleaning the groove in the guide bar.
- Inspecting the guide bar groove for wear and replacing if necessary.
- Examining the bar tip sprocket for roughness or wear, ensuring it turns freely, and lubricating if needed.
- Turning the guide bar daily to extend its life cycle.
Chain Drive Sprocket Maintenance:
- Regularly checking for wear.
- Replacing after approximately 50 hours of operation or more frequently if necessary, especially if it moves side to side on the motor axle.
Cleaning: The product, battery, and battery charger should be cleaned with a dry cloth after use. Battery guide tracks and terminals should be kept clean.
Servicing: For maintenance beyond the operator's manual, or if safety devices are defective, the product should be taken to an approved Husqvarna servicing dealer. Only original spare parts should be used.
Storage: The product, battery, and battery charger should be stored in a dry, frost-free, and locked space, out of reach of children. The battery should be removed for storage or transportation and charged 30-50% for long periods. Transportation guards should be used.
