Ready for rough garden days with high cutting performance

Husqvarna 230i is a powerful and well-balanced battery chainsaw designed for pruning, garden clearing, firewood cutting and occasional felling. The brushless motor, the chain speed and optimised torque result in high cutting performance, allowing you to tackle tougher cuts effortlessly. Equipped with a user-friendly keypad for simple and intuitive operation.

With low noise and vibrations, 230i is comfortable to use, and its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to handle and manoeuvre. To extend battery life, it features an automatic shutdown function that powers off the chainsaw if left unattended for 180 seconds. This chainsaw is part of Husqvarna's flexible 36V system BLi-X, allowing one battery to be used for several tools.

(Cuts per charge has been done in 15cm logs).
