1153179-95, 359/G, 359G E-tech, 357XP E-tech, 357XP/XPG specifications

The Husqvarna 357XPG E-tech and its counterparts, the 357XP/XPG, 357XP E-tech, and 359G E-tech, are noteworthy chainsaws designed for both professionals and enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance. These models encompass advanced technologies that enhance their functionality, making them suitable for a variety of cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the 357XPG and its siblings is the E-tech engine technology. This system is designed to provide high performance while minimizing environmental impact. The E-tech engines are known for delivering efficient fuel consumption and lower emissions, making them compliant with stringent regulations and eco-friendly.

The chainsaw is equipped with an air injection system that pre-cleans the intake air, reducing the amount of debris that enters the engine. This results in longer air filter life and reduces maintenance, allowing users to focus more on their cutting tasks rather than frequent cleanings.

The 357XPG model is also equipped with a heated handle, a valuable feature for those working in colder climates. This ergonomic design ensures comfort and usability, reducing user fatigue during extended periods of operation. The rubberized clutch cover and handle reduce vibration, allowing for smoother handling and less strain on the operator.

In addition, the chainsaws are designed with a lightweight body, which enhances maneuverability. The magnesium and composite materials used in construction contribute to the overall durability without adding excessive weight. This combination makes it easy for users to handle the saw for both horizontal and vertical cuts.

The 357XP/XPG and 359G E-tech series include advanced bar and chain systems, providing superior cutting performance. The chains are designed for fast and efficient cutting, enabling users to tackle tough wood with minimal effort. The automatic oiler ensures that the bar and chain receive adequate lubrication, reducing wear and enhancing longevity.

For ease of use, the chainsaws are equipped with a tool-less chain tensioning system, allowing users to make quick adjustments without the need for additional tools. This feature highlights the user-friendly design that Husqvarna emphasizes in its products.

In summary, the Husqvarna 357XPG E-tech, 357XP, and 359G models stand out due to their advanced engine technologies, ergonomic features, lightweight construction, and practical design elements. These chainsaws offer a blend of performance, ease of use, and environmental responsibility, making them ideal tools for both professional lumberjacks and homeowners looking to accomplish tough cutting tasks efficiently.
