HUSQVARNA 564 XP Petrol Chainsaw

Fuel-Injected Performance for Professionals: Husqvarna 564 XP Petrol Chainsaw

Professional forestry demands equipment that combines strength, speed and control. The Husqvarna 564 XP Petrol Chainsaw has been developed to meet exactly those expectations, delivering powerful output in a compact, agile frame designed for demanding tree work.

Blending the manoeuvrability typically associated with a 50cc saw with the performance of larger professional machines, this Husqvarna chainsaw offers an impressive balance of power and handling. Its 62.4 cc engine generates 5.4 hp (4 kW), while a dry weight of just 5.8 kg (excluding cutting equipment) keeps operator fatigue to a minimum during long working days.

Fuel Injection Technology for Responsive Power

One of the defining characteristics of the Husqvarna 564 XP is its advanced fuel injection system, which replaces the traditional carburettor setup found on many chainsaws.

This intelligent system automatically regulates fuel delivery based on the conditions the saw is working in. As cutting loads change, the engine receives the precise fuel mixture required for consistent output. The result is rapid throttle response, efficient fuel consumption and reliable power when working through all kinds of wood.

The 564XP’s design also keeps the area around the air filter more compact. With fewer surrounding components, the saw maintains a slim body profile while delivering quicker acceleration and more efficient operation during demanding cutting work.

Reliable Starting with Simple Start Technology

A professional chainsaw must start quickly and predictably every time. Husqvarna’s Simple Start technology ensures that ignition remains consistent regardless of whether the engine is warm or cold.

The system automatically balances fuel and air mixtures to create optimal starting conditions. This means fewer interruptions on site and reduced effort during start-up.

Instead of struggling with repeated pulls, operators can rely on a smooth, dependable ignition process that keeps their work moving forward.

Short Stroke Engine Design for Compact Strength

The 564 XP Husqvarna chainsaw features an expertly engineered short stroke engine design, which plays a key role in its impressive power-to-weight ratio.

This design incorporates a low cylinder position, compact crankshaft, short piston stroke and slim crankcase. Together, these elements help minimise internal disturbance while maintaining strong performance.

By reducing mechanical strain and keeping the engine compact, Husqvarna has created a petrol chainsaw that delivers high power output without unnecessary bulk. The result is a balanced and comfortable machine that remains manageable during prolonged use.

Designed to Handle Longer Guide Bars

Versatility is an important requirement for professional chainsaws, and the Husqvarna 564 XP has been engineered to support a range of longer guide bars confidently.

A reinforced crankcase, large bar mount, and generous chain oiling system allow the saw to perform efficiently even with extended cutting equipment. The recommended guide bar range spans 15 inches (38 cm) to 28 inches (70 cm), providing flexibility for a variety of applications.

We offer this chainsaw with either an 18-inch (45 cm) or 20-inch (50 cm) guide bar—make your choice using the dropdown menu above. At maximum output, the saw reaches a chain speed of 21.3 metres per second, helping operators work efficiently through dense timber. The supplied 3/8 inch pitch C85 chain is designed to deliver fast, reliable cutting performance.

X-CUT® Chain for Professional Cutting Efficiency

Husqvarna’s X-CUT® chain system has been developed specifically to complement their professional chainsaws. The included C85 chain provides strong cutting efficiency along with excellent durability.

One of its key advantages is the ability to maintain sharpness for longer periods. Because the chain holds its edge well and requires less frequent tensioning, interruptions during work are minimised.

For professionals working under time constraints, this improvement in cutting efficiency can translate into noticeably higher productivity throughout the day.

Air Filtration and Engine Protection

Keeping internal components protected is essential when working in dusty forestry environments. The Husqvarna 564 XP incorporates Air Injection technology, which removes up to 98% of dust and debris from incoming air before it reaches the engine.

This highly effective filtration system reduces wear on internal components and helps maintain reliable engine performance.

Additional protection comes from a magnetic filter located inside the fuel hose. This component captures metal particles before they enter the fuel system, helping prevent unnecessary engine damage and reducing the likelihood of unexpected downtime.

Balanced Handling for Precision Work

Handling and balance play a significant role in operator comfort. The Husqvarna 564 XP chainsaw uses an outboard clutch design, positioning the drive sprocket between the clutch and the crankcase.

This arrangement allows the guide bar to sit closer to the saw’s centre of gravity, improving balance and control. It also contributes to the machine’s narrow body profile, which is particularly beneficial when working in awkward cutting positions.

To further improve comfort, Husqvarna incorporates a lightweight muffler and LowVib® anti-vibration technology. Special dampeners absorb engine vibrations before they reach the handles, helping reduce strain on the operator’s hands and arms during prolonged use.

Professional Features That Support Productivity

The 564 XP Husqvarna petrol chainsaw includes a number of practical design features to promote easier operation and maintenance during demanding work schedules.

The clear, 2K moulded fuel window provides an effective way to monitor fuel levels, reducing the chance of running the saw dry. Flip-up tank caps allow quick and secure opening, even when wearing gloves.

Maintenance is simplified thanks to the snap-lock cylinder cover, which enables quick access to the spark plug and internal components during routine servicing. Captive bar nuts prevent accidental loss during adjustments, while the raised felling sight is designed to last a lifetime.
