GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine′s handle unit.

The body of the chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration damping units.

Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can

!lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. These symptoms may be increased in cold temperatures.

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

Muffler

The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.

WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the

!engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

10 – English

In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires. These areas are sometimes subject to government rules requiring among other things the muffler must be equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.

CAUTION! The muffler gets very hot during and after use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially when working near flammable substances and/ or vapours.

WARNING! Never use a saw without a

!muffler, or with a damaged muffler. A damaged muffler may substantially increase the noise level and the fire hazard. Keep fire fighting equipment handy. If a spark arrestor screen is required in your area, never use the saw without or with a broken spark arrestor screen.

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:

•Reduce the risk of kickback.

•Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping off the bar.

•Obtain optimal cutting performance.

•Extend the life of cutting equipment.

•Avoid increasing vibration levels.

General rules

•Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! See instructions under the heading Technical data.

•Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.

•Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our instructions and use the recommended depth gauge clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.

570, 575XP specifications

The Husqvarna 570 and 575XP chainsaws are remarkable tools designed for professional logger and forestry applications. Built for performance, durability, and ease of use, both models are engineered to handle the demands of heavy-duty cutting tasks while delivering outstanding power-to-weight ratios.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 570 is its X-Torq engine technology, which is designed to provide increased power while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. This engine technology allows the chainsaw to operate more efficiently, making it an environmentally friendly choice for users who are conscious about their impact on nature. The 575XP model also comes equipped with the X-Torq engine, delivering exceptional performance in a compact design.

Both models feature Husqvarna’s Air Injection system, which helps to minimize wear and tear by filtering out larger particles before they reach the air filter. This not only extends the life of the air filter but also allows for longer operating times between cleanings, thus improving overall efficiency.

The ergonomic design of the Husqvarna 570 and 575XP enhances operator comfort and control. The chainsaws come with a low-vibration system, which significantly reduces vibrations felt by the operator, making extended use more comfortable. The front and rear handles are designed for optimal grip, allowing for better maneuverability and reducing operator fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.

Another key characteristic is the quick-release air filter, which allows for easy access for maintenance. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals who need to ensure their equipment remains in peak condition.

In terms of safety, both models include a chain brake that provides instant stopping capabilities for added security during operation. This is a crucial feature when working in potentially hazardous environments.

With their combination of innovative technologies, ergonomic design, and robust performance, the Husqvarna 570 and 575XP chainsaws stand out in the market as reliable tools for professionals needing efficiency and power. Whether tackling large trees or performing forestry maintenance, these chainsaws are designed to deliver exceptional results.
