The Husqvarna 562 XP chainsaw is touted by the company as one of the most aggressive chainsaws on the planet. Now the company has introduced the 562 XP. Loaded with many of the same features that made the 576 XP so successful, they reduce the height and width of the saw chassis, making it easier to handle in almost any application.
The Husqvarna 562 XP chainsaw showcases Husqvarna's latest breakthrough feature, Revboost. This feature allows the chain speed to be accelerated for short periods of time to increase efficiency during cutting, especially in amputation applications. Revboost is ignition controlled, allowing the user to quickly ramp up to maximum RPM in about two seconds. It's designed to provide the best power-to-rev ratio without having to run the engine wide open for extended periods of time.
In addition, Husqvarna's revolutionary Gyro Force Reduction technology reduces the weight of the saw's key moving parts (flywheel, crankshaft and piston), which reduces the internal motion of the engine, resulting in less backswing.
