Fueling, Fuel safety, Transport and storage

FUEL HANDLING

•In temperatures below 32°F (0°C) some oils become too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components.

•Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.

Fueling

		precautions, will lessen the risk of ﬁre:

Do not smoke and do not place any hot objects in the vicinity of fuel.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.

Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel ﬁlter must be replaced at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction. Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before refuelling.The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should therefore always ﬁll the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the same time.

Fuel safety

•Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.

•Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).

•Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the refuelling point before starting it.

•Never start the machine:

1If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.

2If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.

3If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

	!	WARNING! Never use a machine with

Transport and storage

•Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked ﬂames from electrical equipment, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.

•Always store fuel in an approved container designed for that purpose.

•For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your local gas station.

•The bar guard must always be ﬁtted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain.

•Secure the machine during transport.

Long-term storage

Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store the fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar guard. Clean the machine. See instructions under the heading Maintenance schedule.

Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.

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.
