HUSQVARNA 542i XP® G Cordless 15" Chainsaw (Shell Only) (9706471-13)

Professional Cordless Cutting with Petrol-Like Response

The Husqvarna 542i XP® G Cordless Chainsaw delivers powerful professional performance with the convenience of Husqvarna battery technology. Designed for intensive use, it combines high cutting capacity, lightweight handling and excellent manoeuvrability for demanding professional applications.

It is particularly suited to urban tree care professionals and arborist ground crews requiring responsive, controlled cutting performance. Its advanced design provides the familiar operating characteristics of petrol equipment alongside the practical benefits of cordless power.

Centrifugal Clutch for Responsive Cutting

The 542i XP® G is the world’s first professional battery chainsaw fitted with a clutch, according to Husqvarna. Its centrifugal clutch provides additional energy when beginning each cut, creating a responsive and familiar cutting experience.

The clutch also helps prevent the chain becoming stuck within the timber during demanding applications. Combined with a high chain speed, this supports fast, smooth cutting while helping professionals maintain productivity throughout repeated tasks.

Heated Handles for Cold Working Conditions

Integrated heated handles help improve comfort and circulation when working in cold or damp environments. Warmer hands can support control and manoeuvrability during prolonged cutting sessions in challenging weather.

This feature makes the 542i XP® G particularly practical for professionals working outdoors throughout colder months. Its IPX4 weatherproof classification further supports professional operation across changing weather conditions throughout the year.

Efficient Professional Brushless Motor

Husqvarna’s advanced brushless motor is 25% more efficient than a standard brushed motor. Its high torque-to-weight ratio supports excellent performance while maintaining the lightweight characteristics required for manoeuvrable professional cutting.

Battery power also provides lower maintenance requirements, with no petrol refuelling and fewer components requiring regular attention. This can reduce downtime while simplifying everyday machinery preparation and maintenance.

Intelligent Controls and Oil Monitoring

An intuitive digital keypad provides straightforward push-button starting and convenient access to important operating functions. Ruggedised hard-top controls improve durability, while LED indicators provide clear information about current battery status.

An integrated chain oil sensor illuminates an indicator when additional chain oil is required. This makes monitoring lubrication more straightforward during demanding working days and helps operators identify when refilling becomes necessary.

Extend Runtime with savE™ Mode

For less demanding cutting tasks, savE™ mode reduces power consumption to help extend available battery runtime. This allows operators to conserve energy when maximum cutting performance is unnecessary for the application.

An automatic shutdown function switches the chainsaw off when left unattended, helping preserve available battery power. It also reduces the risk associated with unintentionally leaving the machine activated between tasks.

Practical Features for Professional Users

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

An inertia-activated chain brake provides an important safety feature during professional cutting work. The chainsaw’s low-noise operation also reduces disturbance, making it particularly useful around residential and noise-sensitive environments.

Part of the Husqvarna 36V Battery System

The 542i XP® G uses Husqvarna’s 36V battery system, providing compatibility across a substantial range of suitable equipment. Compatible batteries can therefore be transferred between selected Husqvarna forestry, garden and construction tools.

Combining centrifugal clutch technology, heated handles, high chain speed and professional ergonomics, the 542i XP® G offers impressive cordless capability. It provides the responsive performance and control required by professionals completing intensive cutting work.
