Personal protective equipment

!

WARNING! Most chain saw accidents

happen when the chain touches the

 

operator. You must use approved

 

personal protective equipment whenever

 

you use the machine. Personal protective

 

equipment cannot eliminate the risk of

 

injury but it will reduce the degree of

 

injury if an accident does happen. Ask

 

your dealer for help in choosing the right

 

equipment.

•Approved protective helmet

•Hearing protection

•Protective goggles or a visor

•Gloves with saw protection

•Trousers with saw protection

•Use appropriate protections for arm.

•Boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole

•Always have a first aid kit nearby.

•Fire Extinguisher and Shovel

Generally clothes should be close-fitting without restricting your freedom of movement.

IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the bar and chain or other sources. Always have fire extinguishing tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest fires.

This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the special compact handle design (closely spaced handles), there is an increased risk of losing control. For this reason these special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree by persons who are trained in special cutting and working techniques and who are properly secured (lift bucket, ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting work at ground level.

WARNING! Working in a tree requires the ! use of special cutting and working

techniques which must be observed in order to reduce the increased risk of personal injury. Never work in a tree unless you have received specific, professional training for such work, including training in the use of safety and other climbing equipment, such as harnesses, ropes, belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners, etc.

The Husqvarna T536 is a powerful and versatile battery-powered top-handled chainsaw designed for both professional arborists and homeowners who require high performance in a lightweight package. This innovative tool represents the latest advances in chainsaw technology, offering exceptional efficiency and convenience for a variety of cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the T536 is its brushless motor, which provides superior torque and longevity compared to traditional brushed motors.

The T536 is equipped with a high-capacity battery that allows for extended run times, making it ideal for a full day’s work without the worry of swapping batteries frequently.

The chainsaw utilizes a 12-inch bar, making it perfectly suited for pruning, trimming, and other precision cutting tasks. The lightweight design, weighing just around 2.7 kg (6.0 lbs), ensures easy maneuverability and reduces fatigue during prolonged usage.

One of the key characteristics of the T536 is its user-friendly interface. It features an intuitive keypad that allows for easy operation, along with a soft-grip handle for maximum comfort during use. The integrated rear and front hand guards provide added safety while also enhancing the overall ergonomics of the saw.

This is a significant advantage for users working in noise-sensitive environments, as it complies with stringent noise regulations. Additionally, the T536 is compatible with Husqvarna’s low-kickback chains, contributing to improved safety and control during cutting.

Another notable feature is the automatic chain lubrication system, which ensures optimal lubrication and increases the lifespan of the chain. The tool-less chain tensioning system is a practical addition that allows for quick and easy adjustments, minimizing downtime during work.

The Husqvarna T536 is not just powerful; it is also environmentally friendly. As a battery-powered chainsaw, it produces zero emissions during operation, making it a sustainable choice for those conscious of their carbon footprint. This feature makes it an excellent choice for professionals and homeowners alike who are looking to maintain their outdoor spaces without sacrificing performance or the environment.
