Due to its lightweight design, it reduces the fatigue and enable users to cut for longer, but you should note that is heavier than the average electric saws.
Moreover, all Husqvarna saws have been designed to reduce vibration. Indeed, in the 445 the vibration to the front handle is measured in 3.1 m/s2 and to the rear handle at 4.9 m/s2 like shown in this husqvarna 445 x torq review. If we take into account that a value below 5m/s2 is considered low, this saw can be used for longer than others, so you should be able to use it continuosly for two hours in an eight hours period without breaching safety recommendations. However you should use gloves for further protection and keep in mind that this time can vary because of several factors such as temperatura or body stature.
A downside of this gas chainsaw is that it produces a noise level of 103 decibels at the operator’s ear, and despite this typical for gas powered saws, you should use ear protection since noise level is over 90 decibels, and we higly recommend you this if you plan to use it for an extended period.
Overall rating suggests that this chainsaw is very easy to handle and reliable, ideal for limbing and cut small to medium sized trees and for cutting cords of firewood, and users have liked its versatility.
Cutting Equipment
The Husqvarna is equipped with a 18 inch guid bar with a nose Wheel. The chian has 72 drive links, a 0.325” pitch and a 0.05” gauge, so this saw has a slightly narrower chian than other saws and might be termed as a “high speed” chain since it can come to a 17. m/s speed at full power.
