Husqvarna's most powerful handheld power cutter, featuring the revolutionary X-Torq engine technology. It is a unique machine, in a class of its own when it comes to emission levels, efficiency and maneuverability.

Easy and optimal belt tensioning. The semi-automatic SmartTension minimises the risk of under- and over tensioning.


Sturdy and reliable. Less sensitive to outdoor conditions and fuel variations, thanks to the cylinder design and muffler with integrated heat deflector.

Easy to start. The unique design of the carburetor, cylinder and digital ignition system, together with air purge and decompression valve, ensure an easy start.

Long service intervals. A strong Poly-V belt combined with our maintenance-free DuraStarter and efficient filter-system Active Air Filtration ensure long service intervals.

Less slurry and low water consumption. Excellent dust control with our wet cutting kit. A progressive water valve for exact adjustment of the water volume to efficiently bind the dust and reduce slurry.

Magnesium blade guard. Contributes to a light weight which gives an improved power-to-weight ratio. New stepless adjustment makes it easier to change cutting position.

Decreased weight. The magnesium blade guard contributes to enhanced ergonomics and increased power-to-weight ratio.

Light and powerful. A light, compact and powerful machine with superior power-to-weight ratio.

Easy to change blade guard position. The light magnesium blade guard facilitates cutting, thanks to its stepless adjustment.

Fits multiple blade bushings. Blades with 20mm and 25.4mm bore can be fitted thanks to the reversible blade bushing.

Maintenance-free air filter. The only time the filter needs to be checked and changed is if you experience lack of power.

High power with less fuel. Built-in automatic filter compensation SmartCarb maintains high power and lowers fuel consumption.

Reduced wear. Reduced wear thanks to the drive belt with fully sealed transmission, which keeps out the cutting dust.



Smooth blade stop. Reduces the stop time of the blade when the machine is switched off, which enables you to quickly move on to the next job.



Maintenance-free starter. Patented, dust sealed starter unit with a sealed return spring and pulley bearing. DuraStarter also includes a starter cord with greatly increased durability. This makes the starter virtually maintenance free, further enhancing the reliability of cutters.

Efficient power performance. X-Torq engine produces less emissions, has lower fuel consumption and results in more power.



Cuts close to walls or ground. The cutting arm is reversible which lets you cut closer to walls or the ground. The drive belt has a fully sealed transmission. This keeps out cutting dust etc, reducing wear.




Active Air Filtration. Two-step filtration system with centrifugal cleaning and a single paper filter increases product life and extends service intervals.





Anti-vibration system. Anti-vibration system reduces vibrations in the cutter handles, so they are more comfortable to hold and can be used for longer periods. To provide the user a comfortable operating position reduced strain, the distance between the handles is large. The handles and the short engine body mean the user always stands close to the machine, for easier handling and control.

DuraStarter. Virtually maintenance free starter, thanks to the dust-sealed starter and the durable starter cord.






Poly-V belt. Provides better transmission of power, less frequent re-tensioning and extended service intervals.

Reversible cutting arm. The drive belt with fully sealed transmission keeps out cutting dust for reduced wear and allows close cutting to walls and floor.
