GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the bar is closer to you the chain brake is designed to be activated manually by the movement of your left hand.

•In the felling position the left hand is in a position that makes manual activation of the chain brake impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia action.

Will my hand always activate the chain brake during a kickback?

No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You should also maintain a firm grip of the chain saw handles while working. If you do and experience a kickback, your hand may never leave the front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or the chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung around a considerable distance. In such instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw chain before it touches you.

There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.

Will my inetria activated chain brake always activate during kickback in the event of a kickback?

No. First your brake must be in working order. Testing the brake is simple. We recommend you do before you begin each work session. Second the kickback must be strong enough to activate the chain brake. If the chain brake is too sensitive it would activate all the time which would be a nuisance.

Will my chain brake always protect me from injury in the event of a kickback?

No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to provide the intended protection. Second, it must be activated during the kickback as described above to stop the saw chain. Third, the chain brake may be activated but if the bar is to close to you the brake might not have enough time to slow down and stop the chain before the chain saw hits you.

Only you and proper working technique can eliminate kickback and its danger.

Throttle lock

The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B).

When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.

Chain catcher

The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained (see instructions under the heading General working instructions).

Right hand guard

Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation easier.

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.
