HUSQVARNA 542i XP® G Cordless 15″ Chainsaw (Shell Only)

Professional Cordless Performance with Responsive Control

The Husqvarna 542i XP® G Cordless Chainsaw combines professional cutting performance with the convenience of advanced battery power. Developed for intensive applications, it offers excellent cutting capacity, responsive handling and impressive manoeuvrability throughout demanding working days.

The saw is particularly suited to arborist ground crews and urban tree care professionals completing regular cutting work. Its responsive characteristics provide familiar control while delivering the practical advantages associated with professional cordless machinery.

Innovative Centrifugal Clutch Technology

The 542i XP® G is the world’s first professional battery chainsaw featuring a clutch, according to Husqvarna. Its centrifugal clutch delivers kick-start energy when beginning each cut, creating an engaging and responsive operating experience.

This system also helps prevent the chain becoming trapped when working through demanding timber. Combined with the high chain speed, it supports fast, smooth cutting and productive professional operation.

Heated Handles for Year-Round Comfort

Integrated heated handles help maintain warmth and circulation when working throughout cold or damp conditions. This can improve comfort while helping professionals maintain controlled handling during challenging winter working days.

The chainsaw also carries an IPX4 weatherproof classification, supporting operation across changing outdoor conditions. Together, these features make the machine well suited to demanding year-round professional work.

Efficient Brushless Motor Technology

Husqvarna’s advanced brushless motor provides 25% greater efficiency than a standard brushed motor. Its strong torque-to-weight ratio supports powerful cutting while maintaining the responsive handling expected from professional equipment.

The battery-powered drive system also provides low maintenance requirements, with no petrol refuelling or conventional engine servicing required. Fewer components requiring attention can reduce downtime and simplify routine equipment management.

Straightforward Controls and Oil Monitoring

An intuitive digital keypad provides simple push-button operation and convenient access to important machine functions. Ruggedised hard-top buttons support dependable control, while LED indicators clearly display current battery status.

A useful chain oil sensor provides an indication through the keypad when additional chain oil is required. This helps professionals monitor lubrication requirements more conveniently throughout busy cutting sessions.

Maximise Battery Runtime with savE™

During less demanding applications, savE™ mode reduces power consumption to help maximise available battery runtime. Operators can therefore conserve energy when full cutting performance is unnecessary for the task.

The automatic shutdown function switches the chainsaw off when left unattended, helping preserve available battery power. This feature also reduces the risk associated with accidentally leaving the machine activated between cutting tasks.

Practical Features for Professional Maintenance

Retained bar nuts help prevent small components becoming lost when maintaining or changing the cutting equipment. The flip-up oil tank cap also provides quick access and remains straightforward to operate while wearing suitable gloves.

An inertia-activated chain brake provides an important safety feature during demanding cutting applications. Meanwhile, low-noise operation helps minimise disturbance when working around residential properties and other noise-sensitive environments.

Flexible Husqvarna 36V Battery Compatibility

The 542i XP® G belongs to the Husqvarna 36V battery system, providing compatibility across suitable Husqvarna equipment. Compatible batteries can therefore be shared between selected forestry, garden and construction machines for greater flexibility.

Combining centrifugal clutch technology, heated handles and high chain speed, the 542i XP® G provides impressive professional capability. It offers the control, comfort and cordless convenience required for intensive professional cutting applications.
