Frequently asked questions

What are the key improvements in the 562 XP® Mark II compared to the original 562 XP®?

The 562 XP® Mark II is a ground‑up redesign of the original 562 XP®, featuring a new engine architecture, AutoTune™ 3.0, improved cooling and air filtration, reduced weight, and upgraded internal components—delivering higher reliability, easier starting, better maneuverability, and longer service life for professional users.

What is the maximum bar length for the Husqvarna 562 XP® Mark II?

While optimized for 20-inch bars, the 562 XP® Mark II features a large bar mount and a reinforced crankcase that allows it to carry guide bars up to 28 inches. This provides professionals with the versatility to handle larger felling tasks that typically require a 70cc saw, without the added weight and bulk of a larger powerhead.

How does the "Simple Start" technology on the 562 XP® Mark II work?

The 562 XP® Mark II eliminates the manual choke. Thanks to AutoTune™ 3.0, the engine management system automatically sets the fuel-air mix for current conditions. To start, you simply push the purge bulb and pull the cord. This digital system prevents engine flooding and ensures peak performance at all altitudes and temperatures, allowing you to get to work faster with fewer pulls.

How does the 562 XP® Mark II protect itself from dust and debris in heavy forestry environments?

This saw utilizes a dual-layer protection system: Air Injection™ and a magnetic fuel filter. Air Injection™ uses centrifugal force to remove 98% of dust before it reaches the air filter, while the magnetic filter traps metal particles in the fuel line before they can reach the carburetor. This significantly extends the interval between cleanings and protects the high-revving engine from internal wear.

Is the 562 XP® Mark II suitable for limbing, or is it strictly for felling?

The 562 XP® Mark II is engineered for unmatched handling in its class. Its slimmed-down, slender saw body and low center of gravity make it exceptionally agile for high-speed limbing. The powerhead weighs just 13 lbs, providing the "grunt" needed for felling while remaining nimble enough for technical work in the canopy or dense brush.
