A slim, high‑rev 60cc professional petrol chainsaw built for hardwood forestry. The 562 XP® G Mark II combines X‑Torq® engine torque with AutoTune 3.0 and Simple Start Technology for reliable starting and consistent performance. Heated handles and carburettor heating keep you productive in cold conditions; the saw accepts long bars for felling and bucking large timber.

High cutting capacity

The reworked engine delivers strong, sustained power so the saw maintains peak performance during long cuts and when fitted with longer guide bars.

Cold‑weather reliability

Heated operator handles and an electrically heated carburettor improve comfort and ensure reliable starting and running in low temperatures.

AutoTune 3.0 — optimised engine

AutoTune 3.0 with Simple Start Technology automatically adjusts engine settings for startability and performance across conditions, removing the need for manual carburettor adjustments on site.
