961430096 specifications

The Husqvarna 961430096, also known as the Husqvarna 562 XP, is a high-performance chainsaw designed for professionals and serious enthusiasts. Renowned for its exceptional power-to-weight ratio, this model is ideal for demanding tasks, including felling, limbing, and bucking trees of various sizes.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 562 XP is its X-Torq engine technology. This innovative engine reduces fuel consumption by up to 20%, contributing to lower emissions without sacrificing power. The chainsaw delivers impressive cutting performance with its 60.3 cc engine, achieving a maximum power output of 3.5 kW. This efficiency not only translates to prolonged usage without frequent refueling but also promotes a cleaner working environment.

In terms of design, the Husqvarna 961430096 incorporates an ergonomic handle, providing superior comfort and balance during operation. The saw’s lightweight structure aids maneuverability, essential for precision cutting in various conditions. Additionally, the rear handle features rubber inserts for improved grip and reduced vibrations, enabling extended use without causing fatigue.

The Husqvarna 562 XP also incorporates advanced air injection technology, which helps filter out larger particles from the air intake before they reach the air filter. This results in less frequent air filter maintenance, thereby enhancing the chainsaw’s productivity and longevity. Coupled with the easy-access fuel and oil caps, which allow for quick refueling, this model is designed to keep users focused on the task at hand rather than maintenance.

Another key feature is the LowVib system, which minimizes vibrations felt by the user. This ensures a more comfortable working experience, especially during prolonged jobs, reducing the likelihood of operator fatigue and injury.

Safety is also prioritized in the Husqvarna 961430096, as it includes a chain brake and an inertia-activated kickback brake, which provide an essential safeguard against accidents. A see-through fuel tank lets users easily monitor fuel levels, preventing unexpected run-outs during use.

Overall, the Husqvarna 961430096 combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for those needing a reliable chainsaw capable of tackling tough jobs with ease. Its blend of advanced technologies ensures both performance and sustainability in demanding working conditions. Whether you are a professional logger or a dedicated landowner, this chainsaw stands out as a formidable tool in the domain of outdoor power equipment.
