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.

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.
