Husqvarna introduced battery-powered chainsaws with a clutch: the T542i XP and 542i XP, providing power equivalent to a 40-cc gas engine.
"These chainsaws are in direct response to the needs of professionals who demand innovations that enhance their workdays," said Alvaro Trinidad, VP/GM of Husqvarna Group North America. "The clutch enables users to experience a more aggressive response and enhanced capability while cutting."
With the introduction of the clutch, users experience a kickstart of energy at the beginning of every cut as the clutch engages. The new T542i XP and 542i XP chainsaws provide the familiar feel of a gas-powered engine, but with a fraction of the noise and no fumes. With the average takedown of a tree requiring up to 40 pull-starts, the ability to start these saws with the push of a button means climbing arborists can maximize efficiency while on-the-job.
Operating on Husqvarna's 40 V ecosystem, the T542i XP and 542i XP require minimal downtime for maintenance. Husqvarna's innovative active cooling technology provides consistent power and longer battery life. An IPX4 rating ensures operation in most weather conditions. Additionally, these chainsaws come equipped with SP21G X-Precision cutting equipment to further enhance the cutting performance of the chainsaw.
