Design

Flip-up tank cap

Easy to open and close when refueling.

Belt eye let

Connecting the saw to the climbing harness is quick and easy.

Chain tensioning from the side

Easier access to chain tensioning device compared to the front tensioning.

Individual grip size

To perfectly fit your hand, you can set the top handle grip size in three different options.

Chain brake window

Improved design allows for better visibility of the guide bar tip.

Visible fuel level

The fuel tank is transparent, so you can see how much fuel is left.

Durability

Adjustable oil pump

You can control oil flow based on application and weather conditions.

Quick-release air filter

Easily removable air filter, when you need to clean it or replace it.

Quick-release air filter cover

Retained bar nut

This function prevents losing the bar nuts.

Magnesium crankcase

Sturdily built crankcase withstands high RPMs and tough professional use. This ensures a long service life.

Air Injection

The centrifugal air cleaning system prevents larger dust and debris particles from reaching the air filter. In return, you get improved engine life and less maintenance cleaning the air filter. All Husqvarnas have this.

Safety

Inertia activated chain brake

In the case of kickback, the inertia mechanism will stop the chain from running. This significantly reduces the risk of injury.

Auto return stop switch

When you use the stop switch to kill the engine, it resets on the ON position, which enables the engine to start again. This is convenient because you won’t forget to set it to “run” mode before you start the engine.

LowVib

The vibration dampening system called LowVib is present in all Husky chainsaws. Metal springs in the engine suspension reduce vibrations felt by the operator. This allows you to work longer without your hands getting exhausted and it also prevents developing medical conditions.

Performance

Smart Start

Engine and starter design to start the machine quickly with minimum effort.

X-Torq

Probably the best thing about newer Husqvarna saws. It reduces emissions by up to 75% and fuel consumption by up to 20%. You spend less on gas and breathe less fumes. It also makes the saw CARB compliant.

AutoTune

Gives optimal engine performance throughout automatic engine setting. No time spent on carburetor adjustments. It compensates for different fuels, altitude, humidity, temperature and clogged air filter.
