Professional top-handle battery chainsaw with outstanding cutting capacity

This 40V battery-powered top-handle chainsaw is the world’s first top-handle battery chainsaw with a clutch. The T542i XP® delivers added torque and power output equivalent to 40cc gas engines.

And proprietary active cooling technology delivers more consistent power and helps extend battery life. Combined with our X-PRECISION® guide bar and SP21G chain, this saw feels like gas, performs like gas, but has all the benefits of battery. Battery and charger sold separately.
