Top-handle 36V battery chainsaw designed for professional tree climbers. The T542i XP® G combines a centrifugal clutch for petrol-like response with an integrated heated handle for improved grip in cold, damp conditions. It ships as a rear-handle unit (no battery or charger) and includes Bluetooth connectivity for service and diagnostics.
Clutch for controlled starts
The centrifugal clutch gives kick-start energy at the start of each cut and reduces the risk of the chain pinching, so cuts are more predictable and easier to control.
Heated handle for cold weather work
Built-in handle heating keeps your right hand warmer and drier in winter conditions. It’s switchable from the keypad so you only use it when needed.
Adjustable performance and longer runtimes
savE™ mode lets you lower rpm to conserve battery and reduce noise for tasks that don’t demand full power, while full power remains available for heavy cuts.
