Designed for contractors and landowners working with medium diameter timber, the Husqvarna 555 is a top-quality, high performance saw.
The 59.8cc engine in conjunction with the 18 inch bar enables you to work comfortably on medium diameter timber, tackling tough, professional jobs. Despite its high levels of power, this chainsaw uses a new ground-breaking slimmed-down design for a wonderful overall package.
Comfortable operation without hassle dampeners absorb the engine’s vibrations to spare your arms and hands while working, allowing you to operate for longer without strain.
This is also an easy machine to use, with Husqvarna’s AutoTune system providing optimal engine performance through automatic engine setting, removing the need for manual carburettor adjustments, and their Smart Start technology, reducing resistance in the starter cord by up to 40 percent.
The start/stop switch and fuel pump also aid easy starting, while a quick-release air filter and air filter cover makes maintenance simpler.
The Husqvarna 555 uses a forged three-piece crankshaft to provide maximum durability as needed when performing the toughest jobs. Similarly, the magnesium crankcase has been designed to withstand high rpms for consistent performance and a long service life.
This petrol chainsaw requires a mixture of petrol and 2-stroke oil at 50:1.
The quality of the petrol and oil is extremely important with running and the life of the engine.
Unsuitable fuels or mix ratios that do not comply with the specification can cause damage the engine (piston seizing, excessive wear)
We recommend to run your chainsaw on E5 petrol if possible, and always ensure the fuel is used or disposed of after 30 days have passed.
