TECHNICAL DATA

Recommended original and replacement bar and chain combinations

Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for the Husqvarna chain saw models 334T and 338XPT. 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 B175.1–2000.

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 hard nose.

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.

Low kickback saw chain is a chain which has only met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1 safety requirements for gasoline powered chain saws when tested on the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 cu. in. specified in ANSI 175.1. We recommend that you as a replacement use the listed chains or "Low kickback saw chains" which are available at your dealer.

The Husqvarna 338XPT is a powerful chainsaw designed specifically for professionals who require reliability and performance in demanding environments. One of its standout features is the lightweight design, making it easy to maneuver while still delivering impressive power. Weighing in at just over 10 pounds, the 338XPT allows users to work for extended periods without fatigue, making it an ideal choice for arborists and forestry workers.

At the heart of the Husqvarna 338XPT is its efficient engine, which not only provides robust cutting performance but is also designed with EPA III compliance in mind.

This feature is particularly beneficial in dusty or dirty job sites, ensuring optimal performance in various conditions.

Comfort and usability are also central to the design of the 338XPT. The chainsaw includes an ergonomic handle that allows for better control during operation, reducing vibrations and enhancing user comfort. Additionally, the chainsaw's easy-access chain tensioning system makes adjusting the chain as simple as possible, ensuring that users can quickly get back to their tasks at hand without unnecessary delays.

For safety-conscious users, the Husqvarna 338XPT is equipped with features like a combined choke/stop control that allows for easy starting and reduces the risk of engine flooding. Furthermore, the chainsaw's inherent balance and lightweight structure contribute to safer handling and operation.

In summary, the Husqvarna 338XPT EPA III is a top-of-the-line chainsaw that combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features, making it a prime choice for professionals in the forestry and arborist fields.
