HUSQVARNA 520iLX

The 520iLX operates on the Husqvarna BLi-X 36V/40V battery system. Because this is a "tool only" model, batteries and chargers are sold separately. Recommended batteries for optimal performance include the 40-B330X, 40-B220X, and BLi200. It is also compatible with Husqvarna backpack batteries like the BLi950X for all-day commercial use.

Runtime varies based on the battery capacity and grass conditions. Using the recommended 40-B330X battery, professionals can expect up to 1 hour and 15 minutes of continuous tough grass cutting. Engaging the power-conserving savE™ mode can extend this runtime further for lighter trimming tasks.

The 520iLX features a dual-direction trimmer head that allows you to reverse the rotation of the trimmer line (clockwise or counterclockwise) with the push of a button. This gives you complete control over where grass clippings are thrown, making it easy to keep walkways, driveways, and garden beds clean.

Yes, the Husqvarna 520iLX features an IPX4 weatherproof classification. This commercial-grade rating means the trimmer is highly resistant to splashing water, allowing professionals to safely and reliably operate the tool in wet or rainy conditions.

The 520iLX comes equipped with the Husqvarna T25B Tap'n Go trimmer head. This system allows for effortless line feeding simply by tapping the trimmer head on the ground while the tool is running.

Yes, the 520iLX is designed for professional use and features an advanced, in-house developed brushless motor. It delivers the consistent torque and high-performance cutting power equivalent to a 22cc gas-powered trimmer, but operates with zero direct CO2 emissions, lower maintenance, and significantly less noise.

The 520iLX is a dedicated straight-shaft string trimmer and does not accept combi-attachments like edgers, pole saws, or hedge trimmers. However, it is blade-capable and can be fitted with a grass blade kit (sold separately) for clearing heavier brush.

The 520iLX is a professional-grade string trimmer engineered for commercial landscapers, contractors, and heavy-duty residential users. It features an active cooling system, commercial durability, and lightweight ergonomics designed for all-day use.

The savE™ mode is a proprietary power-conserving setting on the 520iLX. When activated via the intuitive keypad, it lowers the maximum RPM of the brushless motor. This maximizes battery runtime and is ideal for lighter tasks like standard edge maintenance or trimming dry grass.

The 520iLX is exceptionally lightweight and well-balanced, weighing just 6.6 lbs (excluding the battery and cutting equipment). The unique "battery-through-body" design places the battery horizontally through the machine's center of gravity, reducing user fatigue during extended work sessions.
