A professional 71cc petrol chainsaw engineered for heavy-duty forestry work. At just 6.6 kg (excluding cutting equipment) with a 4.3 kW output, the 572 XP® delivers an industry-leading power-to-weight ratio for its displacement. It combines improved cutting capacity with robust cooling, heavy-duty filtration and features designed to keep you working longer with less downtime.
High cutting capacity and power-to-weight
The 572 XP® offers a wide usable rev range and around 12% higher cutting capacity than previous models in this class. That translates to faster, more consistent cuts—especially when you’re using long guide bars.
Cooling and filtration for long engine life
An optimised cooling system plus a large-surface heavy-duty filter and Air Injection mean the engine runs cooler and ingests far less dust. Expect more reliable performance in long shifts and reduced wear on internal components.
Consistent tuning and easy starting
AutoTune™ automatically adjusts the air/fuel mixture to suit fuel, altitude and filter condition, while SmartStart® and an X‑TORQ® engine cut starting effort. Practically, that reduces carburettor fiddling and gets you back to work quicker.

Key features

Higher cutting capacity
New engine design offers a wide usable RPM range for peak performance even under heavy loads. 12% higher cutting capacity (compared to previous models in the same cc-range) makes the saw ideal for productive operation – even when using long guide bars.

Excellent cooling capacity for a longer engine life
Our new cooling system is optimised in every detail to give you a reliable chainsaw for any situation.

Equipped with state-of-the-art filtration system
572 XP® carries – as standard – a large surface heavy duty filter for longer and better filtration. The filter has a larger filtration area compared to previous generation. Providing a chainsaw with a healthier engine optimised for long working hours.

10 times quicker air/fuel mix adjustment
AutoTune™ ensures a correctly tuned engine setting and optimised engine performance in all conditions.

Low vibrations
Husqvarna’s anti vibration system efficiently separates your hands from the vibrations generated by the engine and the cutting equipment. This is to protect your body but also to reduce the fatigue in your arms and hands and in the end of the day contribute to make your workday more productive.

Flip up tank caps
Easy to open and secure firmly, even when wearing thick winter gloves.

Better chip ejection avoids clogging
The clutch cover is designed to optimise rapid, safe saw chip ejection. Prevents clogging, even when cutting long fibre wood.

Soft cut-out system
The innovative system for engine control is designed for providing a long engine life. The system monitors the engine and assures that the engine always is protected from over-revving.

Better manoeuvrability gives full control
The front handle bar position is close to the centre of gravity, giving you better cutting control.

Felling sight to last a lifetime
Perfect sight is critical when felling – so we made one that will outlast the chainsaw itself.

Rubber handle inlay for safer grip
The rubber handle provides a firm grip, while still allowing you flexibility while you work.

Fuel Indicator
Transparent fuel indicator makes it easy to check fuel level

Air Injection filters 98% of incoming dust
Give you full working days with maintained performance and less wear on the engine.

AutoTune
AutoTune gives optimal engine performance throughout automatic engine setting.
No time spent on carburettor adjustments. It compensates for
different fuels, altitude, humidity, temperature and clogged air filter.

Magnesium crankcase
Sturdily built crankcase withstands high rpms and tough professional use, ensuring a long service life.

Smart Start® Technology
Specially-designed engine and starter for easy and fast starting with minimum effort

Powerful and Efficient X-TORQ® Engine
Our X-TORQ® engines deliver great power and torque thanks to highly efficient combustion.
