Recommended cutting equipment for Canada, Bar Chain

TECHNICAL DATA

Recommended original and replacement bar and chain combinations for USA

Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for the Husqvarna chain saw models 235 and 240. The combinations of power head, bar and chain have been tested and found to be in accordance with the kickback and vibration requirements of ANSI B 175.1–2000.

The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose sprocket or the corresponding maximum nose radius of a solid bar.

The following list is the chain saw manufacturers recommendations.There may be other combinations available, which will also achieve kickback reduction.

As we are listing the maximum guide bar nose radius, you may use a guide bar with smaller nose radius than in our list. For guide bars of the same length, all sprocket-nose guide bars of the same pitch and having the same number of sprocket teeth may be considered to have equivalent kickback energy. A hard nose bar having the same length and nose radius as a sprocket-nose bar may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket-nose bar.

Chain saw models Husqvarna 235 and 240 met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1-2000 when tested with the combinations of bars and saw chains listed below. The saw chains Oregon 91VG and 90SG are also classiﬁed as a low kickback saw chain since it met the requirements for low kickback saw chain outlined in ANSI B 175.1-2000. We recommend to use only the listed combinations of bars and chains for chain saw models Husqvarna 235 and 240. Other chain saw models may not meet the kickback requirements when equipped with the listed bar and chain combinations.

Recommended cutting equipment for Canada

The following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for Class 1A and 1B Chainsaws.The combinations of powerhead, bar and chain meet all requirements outlined in the CSA Z62.1-95 Chainsaws and Z62.3-96 Chainsaw Kickback standards.

The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose sprocket or the corresponding maximum nose radius of a solid bar.

A hard nose bar having the same length and nose radius as a sprocket-nose bar may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket-nose bar.

We recommend that you as replacement use the listed bars and chains or ”Type C Low-Kickback Saw Chains” which are available at your dealer.

235, 240 specifications

The Husqvarna 235 and 240 chainsaws are compact, lightweight power tools designed for homeowners and occasional users seeking reliability and performance. Known for their ease of use and versatility, both models are ideal for tasks such as pruning, cutting firewood, and clearing small trees.

One of the main features of the Husqvarna 235 and 240 is their X-Torq engine technology. This innovation reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% while also cutting emissions by approximately 75%. This not only makes the chainsaws environmentally friendly but also saves users on fuel costs over time. The engine's design also enhances torque, providing ample power for cutting through wood efficiently.

Both models come equipped with an inertia-activated chain brake, enhancing safety by preventing unwanted chain movement in case of a kickback. The chain brake is a critical feature for novice users, promoting confidence while operating the chainsaw. This focus on safety extends to the easy-to-reach throttle lockout and combined choke/stop control, allowing for simpler starting procedures.

The Husqvarna 235 and 240 feature an adjustable oil pump, which enables users to control the oil flow to the chain according to their specific needs. This functionality not only prolongs the life of the chain and bar but also helps maintain cutting performance, ensuring smoother operation and reduced wear.

These chainsaws also have ergonomic designs, with comfortable handles that minimize vibrations and allow for prolonged use without fatigue. The lightweight structure makes them easily maneuverable, which is particularly beneficial for tasks that require precision casing or reaching difficult areas.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the Tool-less chain tensioning system. This feature allows users to adjust the chain tension quickly and without the need for additional tools, simplifying maintenance and enhancing user experience.

Overall, the Husqvarna 235 and 240 chainsaws are excellent choices for homeowners seeking reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use tools for light to moderate cutting tasks. With advanced features like X-Torq technology, safety mechanisms, and user-friendly designs, they represent a valuable addition to any gardening or outdoor toolkit.
