Husqvarna T542i XP Battery Top‑Handle Chainsaw – Professional 36 V Power with Clutch
The Husqvarna T542i XP is the world’s first top‑handle battery chainsaw to feature a centrifugal clutch. This innovative tool delivers the cutting performance of a 40 cc petrol saw while providing the benefits of battery power. It’s designed specifically for professional arborists and tree surgeons working at height, combining high torque, speed, and handling in one compact unit.
Petrol‑Like Cutting Control with Clutch Drive
The unique centrifugal clutch offers petrol-style responsiveness at the start of each cut. This provides smoother engagement and helps extend chain life by reducing unnecessary wear when idling. It’s ideal for delicate or strategic cuts, especially when working in the canopy.
Lightweight and Compact for Climbing
Weighing just around 3 kg (excluding battery, bar, and chain), the T542i XP remains easy to manoeuvre. Its balanced top-handle layout and ergonomic design make it perfect for climbing and precise branch work where control is essential.
Built for All-Weather Professional Use
This chainsaw features an IPX4-rated weatherproof build, so you can keep working in wet or dusty conditions. It also includes SavE™ mode for energy efficiency when maximum power isn’t required—helping prolong battery runtime during lighter tasks.
Designed with Arborists in Mind
Additional features include a rope eyelet for climbing gear, a belt eyelet for harness connection, and automatic shutdown for safety and energy conservation. The chain-oil sensor alerts you when oil runs low, and retained bar nuts prevent loss during maintenance.
