Before using a new chain saw

Please read the operator’s manual carefully.

Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and adjusted. See instructions under the heading Assembly.

Refuel, start the chain saw and check the carburettor settings. See the instructions under the headings Fuel Handling, Starting and Stopping, and Carburettor.

Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has reached the chain. See instructions under the heading Lubricating cutting equipment.

IMPORTANT! If the carburettor mixture is too lean it greatly increases the risk of engine failure. Poor maintenance of the air filter will cause carbon build-up on the spark plug and lead to starting difficulties. If the chain is improperly adjusted it will cause increased wear or damage to the bar, drive sprocket and chain.

WARNING! Under no circumstances may the

!design of the machine be modified without the permission of the manufacturer. Always use genuine accessories. Non-authorized modifications and/or accessories can result in serious personal injury or the death of the operator or others.

WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous tool

!if used carelessly or incorrectly and can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It is very important that you read and understand the contents of this operator’s manual.

WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain

!chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the

!engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust from sawdust can represent a health risk.

372XP, 365 specifications

The Husqvarna 365 and 372XP chainsaws are powerful and versatile tools designed for both professional loggers and serious homeowners. Known for their robust construction and reliability, these models offer a perfect blend of performance and user-friendly features.

The Husqvarna 365 is equipped with a 70.7 cc engine that delivers impressive power, making it suitable for demanding cutting tasks. This chainsaw is designed for all-day use, ensuring that operators can tackle large trees and tough woods without losing momentum. The engine utilizes Smart Start technology, which allows for easier starting with minimal effort. This innovation reduces the resistance in the starter cord by up to 40%, enabling rapid and hassle-free ignition.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna 372XP boasts a slightly larger 72.2 cc engine, making it one of the most powerful saws in the market. Specifically tailored for professionals, this chainsaw excels in heavy-duty applications and has the ability to handle extreme workloads. Both models are designed with a high RPM, ensuring smooth cutting performance and efficient chip flow, which contributes to cleaner cuts and enhanced productivity.

A significant feature of these chainsaws is their ergonomic design, which includes a comfortable handle for better grip and control during operation. The chainsaws also feature an adjustable oil pump that allows users to customize the oil flow for the chain and bar, which helps minimize wear and prolongs the lifespan of the saw.

Safety is paramount with both the 365 and 372XP models. They are equipped with a chain brake system that automatically stops the chain in the event of kickback, ensuring user protection. Furthermore, the low vibration technology significantly reduces vibrations experienced by the operator, promoting comfort during prolonged use.

In terms of maintenance, both chainsaws come with a quick-release air filter that makes it easy to access and clean, ensuring optimal engine performance over time. The built-in fuel pump facilitates easier starting after long periods of inactivity, making these tools reliable for various cutting tasks.

In summary, the Husqvarna 365 and 372XP chainsaws stand out for their powerful engines, user-friendly features, and advanced safety technologies. They are engineered to meet the high demands of professional users while also being accessible for those who need a reliable chainsaw for home use.
