Husqvarna 542i XP G Chainsaw – Pro-Level 36 V Battery Power
The Husqvarna 542i XP G is a high-performance battery chainsaw built for professionals. Designed to match the cutting performance of a 40 cc petrol saw, this cordless model delivers powerful output, reduced vibration, and emission-free operation. It features a unique centrifugal clutch for petrol-like behaviour and heated handles for comfort in colder conditions. Ideal for arborists, ground crews, and demanding commercial use, it excels in both performance and control.
High Cutting Performance with Centrifugal Clutch
The inclusion of a centrifugal clutch gives the 542i XP G a responsive throttle feel and efficient chain engagement, mimicking the experience of petrol saws. This improves cutting precision and allows for better handling during demanding jobs.
Fast Chain Speed and Brushless Motor
With a chain speed of up to 24 m/s and powered by a high-efficiency brushless motor, this saw delivers excellent torque and consistent cutting power. The motor requires minimal maintenance and ensures long-term reliability.
Lightweight and Ergonomic for Professional Use
Weighing just 3.3 kg (excluding battery and bar), the chainsaw is well-balanced for overhead cutting and extended sessions. Its compact form helps reduce fatigue and offers excellent manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
Heated Handle and Weather Protection
The heated rear handle keeps your grip warm in colder weather, improving comfort during winter tasks. With an IPX4-rated build, it’s fully weather-resistant and suitable for year-round use, even in the rain.
Smart Features and Safety Controls
The 542i XP G includes features like SavE™ mode for extended runtime, automatic shut-off to conserve energy, retained bar nuts, and an inertia-activated chain brake for added safety. A visible chain oil level indicator further improves convenience during operation.
