Husqvarna 142 gas chain saw

Date Published: 6/15/06

The Husqvarna 142 gas chain saw features a bit more power than the manufacturer's smallest gas-powered offering, in the same compact and easy-to-operate package. Its 2.2-horsepower engine, light weight, and high maneuverability make it a good choice for occasional trimming and cutting tasks. With its spring-assisted starting mechanism, this chain saw is simple to engage.

Plus, the engine has been designed to run quietly and cooler than some other models, increasing its life and making it easier to restart. And the moving engine parts are all lightweight, increasing the acceleration. The Husqvarna 142 gas-powered chain saw features a sleek, balanced design, including an angled front handle that lets the user grip the saw naturally. Safety is a chief consideration on this model, with a double-acting chain brake that's designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs, a chain catcher, and hand guard. The Husqvarna 142 chain saw features a 2-year consumer warranty.
