Husqvarna 555 Petrol Chainsaw
The Husqvarna 555 petrol chainsaw is a professional-grade tool built for demanding all-round forestry tasks. Powered by a 59.8 cm³ X‑Torq® engine, it delivers robust cutting power coupled with fuel efficiency and reduced emissions—ideal for contractors, landowners, and arborists tackling tree felling, limbing, or firewood tasks.
Reliable Power and Smart Fuel Management
This saw features AutoTune™, which automatically adjusts fuel delivery based on temperature, altitude, humidity, and filter status. That ensures consistent performance and effortless starts, regardless of the conditions. The X‑Torq® engine delivers around 3.1 kW (≈ 4.2 hp) with up to 20% lower fuel use and 60% fewer emissions.
Durable Air Filtration & Engine Design
Air Injection™ filtration removes up to 98% of airborne debris before it reaches the air filter, extending service intervals. The magnesium crankcase and three-piece forged crankshaft offer rugged durability for semi-professional use.
Comfortable and Safe to Use
At approximately 5.9 kg (dry, without cutting equipment), the 555 is well balanced and comfortable to operate for long periods. The LowVib® system dampens vibrations, while a side-mounted, tool-free chain tensioner and inertia-activated chain brake improve ease of use and safety.
Designed for Operator Convenience
The saw includes SmartStart® for reduced pull-start effort, a flip‑up fuel cap, snap-lock air filter cover, retained bar nuts, and a visible fuel-level window. The adjustable oil pump and felling sight further enhance workflow and precision.
