2025 Husqvarna Construction 542i XP tool only 970 64 70‑14

Professional battery chainsaw with outstanding cutting capacity

This 40V battery-powered rear-handle chainsaw is the world’s first rear-handle battery chainsaw with a clutch. The 542i XP® delivers added torque and power output equivalent to 40cc gas engines. Ideal for tree care professionals and arborist ground crews, this saw has an IPX4 rating for use in rain or shine. And proprietary active cooling technology delivers more consistent power and helps extend battery life. Combined with our X-PRECISION® guide bar and SP21G chain, this saw feels like gas, performs like gas, but has all the benefits of battery.

Features May Include:

Centrifugal clutch
The centrifugal clutch provides kick-start energy at the start of every cut, and helps keeping the chain from getting stuck in the wood.

High chain speed
High chain speed for fast, smooth cutting

Intuitive, accessible keypad
The accessible keypad helps you to stay in control; start and stop easily by pressing a button. A savE™-function allows for a choice between max runtime or max power. Charge status is always clearly visible when the battery is activated, the oil drop symbol lit up when chain oil is running low and there’s a reminder if the chain brake is in ’on’-position.

Chain oil sensor
The oil indicator in the key pad lits up when refilling chain oil is needed

Low Maintenance
No fuel refilling, fewer parts and electronically-controlled drive system for less downtime

Interchangeable Battery System
Able to be used in all Husqvarna battery tools, our lithium-ion batteries are durable, easy to swap and recharge quickly

Power-Conserving savE™ Mode
SavE™ mode maximises the run time, reduces noise levels and preserves product battery life by lowering the rpm. Ideal for tasks that do not require full power. Just press the button to turn savE™ mode on and off.

Retained bar nuts
The retaining function prevents loosing the bar nuts.

Weatherproof (IPX4)
This battery-powered Husqvarna machine fulfils the IPX4 classification for rain resistance. This makes it a long-lasting and reliable tool that can be used all year round in all weather conditions.

Automatic shutdown
The product is automatically shut down after 3 minutes of being idle, which prolongs the life of the battery and also lower the risk for injuries when left unattended. With the chainbrake activated, the shutdown occurs after 30 minutes.

Flip-up tank cap
Flip-up fuel tank caps are easy to open and secure firmly, even when wearing thick winter gloves.

Efficient brushless motor
Our in-house developed, advanced brushless motor is 25 % more efficient than a standard brush motor. This means that the motor provides a high and consistent torque.

Inertia-Activated Chain Brake
In case of a kickback, the effective inertia-activated chain brake immediately stops the chain to reduce the likelihood of injury.

This battery-driven product does not emit any CO₂ during use while still providing the power and quality that you expect from a Husqvarna product. However, it’s important to note that CO₂ emissions are generated during other stages of the product´s lifecycle, such as production, charging and end-of-life disposal.
