Description

This is a throttle lockout that is utilized in many chainsaws made by Husqvarna. It is a safety mechanism to prevent damage or injury while the chainsaw is in use. Triggering the use of the equipment requires the throttle lockout to be depressed. This prevents the chainsaw from activating by accident. The part is made of durable plastic but can experience damage or wear and tear through regular use. If the part is lost, broken, or damaged, the chainsaw will not operate. If this occurs, the throttle lockout will need to be replaced.A screwdriver is needed to replace the throttle lockout. A pair of work gloves will also be useful. Turn off the chainsaw with the damaged part and place it on a stable surface before disconnecting the spark plug wire. This will prevent the chainsaw from coming on while making the replacement. Remove the handle insert to access and take out the damaged throttle lockout. The new component can be installed before replacing the handle insert.The throttle lockout is sold individually. It is designed to be compatible with several chainsaws manufactured by Husqvarna. This is an authentic OEM replacement component that is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
