How to start Husqvarna Cutter if it will not start?

  Linda KleinAug 19, 2025
  If the Husqvarna Cutter engine won't start, begin by verifying that both the Emergency Stop Switch and the Engine Start Switch are in the ON position. The Emergency Stop Switch should be pulled outward, and the Engine Start Switch should be turned to the “1” (ON) position. Also, check if the fuel valve is closed and open it if necessary. Ensure the choke is closed if the engine is cold. Finally, make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and refill it if needed.

The Emergency Stop Switch should be pulled outward, and the Engine Start Switch turned to the “1” (ON) position. Also, check if the fuel valve is open, the choke valve is closed (if the engine is cold), and the fuel tank isn't empty. Other potential causes include contamination or ice in the fuel system, buildup on spark plug electrodes, or a clogged air filter. Clean or replace the air filter if needed.

Why is there a loss of tension in the diamond blade of my Husqvarna FS 524?

  Miss Tara Romero MDAug 23, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of tension in the diamond blade of your Husqvarna Cutter, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the saw is properly aligned. The blade might be too hard for the material you're cutting, creating stress. Check that the blade is correct for the material. Using different diameter or undersized blade flanges can create uneven pressure; always use the proper size flange on each side of the blade, and never use worn or damaged flanges. Also, verify that the blade is operating at the correct speed (R.P.M.) for its size, using a tachometer to check. Improper mounting on the arbor could also bend the blade when flanges are tightened.

  If you're experiencing a loss of tension in the diamond blade of your Husqvarna Cutter, it could be due to several reasons. The blade might be used on a misaligned saw, so check for proper saw alignment. The blade could also be excessively hard for the material being cut, creating stress. Ensure the blade is correct for the material. Also, different diameter or undersized blade flanges can create uneven pressure, so use the proper size flange on each side of the blade. Operating the blade at an improper speed or improper mounting on the arbor can also cause this issue. Make certain the blade shaft is turning at the proper speed for the blade size, checking with a tachometer if necessary.

  Maria SmithAug 27, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Saw blade segments are cracking, it could be due to using a blade that is too hard for the material you're cutting; try using a softer blade. Also, check that the blade shaft is turning at the proper speed for the blade size using a tachometer, as operating the blade at an improper speed can cause cracks.

  If you're experiencing a loss of tension in the diamond blade of your Husqvarna Saw, first check for proper saw alignment. Ensure that the blade is correct for the material you are cutting. Use the proper size flange on each side of the blade, and never use worn or damaged flanges, as different diameter or undersize blade flanges can create uneven pressure. Also, make certain the blade shaft is turning at the proper speed for the blade size, using a tachometer to check the RPM. Avoid improperly mounting the blade on the arbor, as this could cause it to bend when the flanges are tightened.

Why is the blade core cracking on my Husqvarna Saw?
- J
  John JosephSep 1, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Saw blade core is cracked, it could be because the blade is too 'hard' for the material you're cutting, so consider using a 'softer' blade specification. Also, check that the water supply is adequate and not blocked, as an overheated blade (indicated by a 'blue' color on the steel center) can lead to cracking. Ensure you are sawing only in a straight line, as twisting the saw while cutting can also cause the blade core to crack.

  Cracked blade segments on your Husqvarna Cutter can occur if the blade is too hard for the material being cut; in this case, use a softer blade. Also, ensure the blade is operating at the correct speed (R.P.M.) for its size by checking with a tachometer.

What to do if the Husqvarna FS 524 Cutter experiences segment loss?
- J
  John HamiltonSep 5, 2025
  Segment loss on your Husqvarna Cutter blade can occur for several reasons. The blade might be too hard for the material being cut, so use a softer blade. Overheating, indicated by a blue color on the steel center, can also cause segment loss; ensure the water supply is adequate and not blocked. Twisting the saw while cutting can also lead to this issue, so saw only in a straight line. A worn blade bore can also be a factor, so replace worn blades and spindles. Rough handling during mounting or transport can knock segments off; avoid rough handling and never transport the machine with the blade mounted.
