Husqvarna T542i XP G Battery Top‑Handle Chainsaw – Pro 36 V Clutch and Heated Grip

The Husqvarna T542i XP G is the industry’s first top‑handle battery chainsaw with both a centrifugal clutch and heated rear handle. It produces power equivalent to a 40 cc petrol engine while offering smooth throttle control, emission-free performance, and professional-grade features. Designed for arborists working at height, it combines superior manoeuvrability with advanced technology for demanding canopy tasks.

Petrol-Style Clutch for Smooth Cutting

The centrifugal clutch delivers responsive chain engagement, helping improve cutting control and reduce wear during idling—especially useful in delicate or elevated pruning situations. This feature closely mimics petrol-powered behaviour, which professionals appreciate.

Heated Handle for Cold Working Conditions

The rear handle incorporates adjustable heating settings via a user-friendly keypad, keeping hands warm during winter or damp weather. This thoughtful addition supports extended comfort and consistent performance in challenging environments.

Compact, Lightweight Design

At approximately 3 kg (without battery, bar, and chain), the T542i XP G is compact and easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Its balanced top-handle layout makes it ideal for climbing, rigging, and working among dense foliage with precision.

High-Speed Chain Performance

With a chain speed of up to 24 m/s and compatibility with 30–40 cm bars, this saw delivers fast, efficient cutting. It uses the SP21G or SP33G chain for smooth performance even on tougher wood types.

Built Tough for All Weather

Its IPX4-rated housing protects internal components from rain or splashes. The tool also includes a SavE™ mode for better energy efficiency when trimming lighter branches. These features help ensure productivity regardless of conditions.

Arborist-Ready Features

The chainsaw comes equipped with rope and belt eyelets for secure attachment during tree work. It also includes an automatic idle shutdown, chain-oil level sensor, and retained bar nuts for fast maintenance and safe operation.

Key Features

  • 36 V battery power matching 40 cc petrol output
  • Centrifugal clutch for responsive and safe cutting
  • Heated rear handle for comfort in cold conditions
  • Chain speed up to 24 m/s with 30–40 cm bar options
