INTRODUCTION

Dear customer!

Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Huskvarna River, for production of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water- powered plant. During over 300 years of continuous operation, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.

Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest priority. We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and construction industry.

Your purchase gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.

It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operators manual as a valuable document. By following itscontent (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer gets the operators manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.

Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.

Husqvarna 1153179-95, 359G E-tech, 357XP/XPG, 357XP E-tech, 357XPG E-tech, 359/G manual Introduction, Dear customer

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.
