Many technical innovations are implemented in the design of the model. First of all, this:

• easy-to-maintain centrifugal air cleaner;
• variable displacement oil pump;
• original solution for chain tensioner;
• ergonomic shape of handles and controls.

Purpose

The scope of application of this model extends to the harvesting of timber, professional felling of large-diameter trees, and the implementation of large-scale work on the transverse and longitudinal sawing of industrial wood of soft and hard species.

This is facilitated by the modern characteristics of the instrument, innovations and original technical solutions incorporated into its design. Operator comfort is enhanced by the use of an effective vibration damper and a reduction in production noise to 103 dB and excellent balance.

How to remove the clutch on a Husqvarna chainsaw - do-it-yourself repair of the unit

To repair this part of the Husqvarna saw, you will need a special kit consisting of a piston stopper, an Allen key and a clutch puller. It will help you quickly replace the drive sprocket and other faulty saw parts.

The further work order is as follows:

1. First, dismantle the tool set, remove the chain and bar;
2. Disconnect the air filter;
3. Unscrew the spark plug and insert the piston stopper in its place;

1. Install the clutch puller into the key connector and unscrew the clutch;
2. Before removing the sprocket from the Husqvarna chainsaw, inspect the parts nearby and clear the way to the faulty parts;
3. Remove the old parts and replace them with new ones;
4. After this, reassemble the structure in reverse order.

Replacing the sprocket is quite simple, but you must be extremely careful not to damage the spool and small spare parts inside the tool.

Design features and maintainability

The Husqvarna 372 XP saw differs from similar models of other brands by its combination of modern design, simple and time-consuming maintenance, high performance, efficiency and affordable cost.

The maintainability of this model is facilitated by its simple design and moderate price of consumables. Spare parts are presented in a fairly wide range, allowing you to eliminate a malfunction or perform a full repair of a tool with high quality and in a short time.

When operating a saw at a distance from service departments, experienced sawyers practice tuning, adjustment and fairly complex repairs with their own hands.

For private owners of a professional chainsaw, the included operating instructions will be an assistant in preparing the tool for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

Chinese analogues of Husqvarna

Factories producing Husqvarna chainsaws are located in Sweden and the USA. To protect yourself from low-quality Chinese counterfeits, you must:

• buy a chainsaw only in large retail establishments and specialized stores;
• pay attention to the price of the chainsaw; the original equipment costs an order of magnitude more (for the 372 XP model, the price is about 50 thousand rubles;
• make sure that there are no additional numbers (20) after the letters XP in the model name;
• The original Husqvarna chainsaw has a metal tag with a serial number attached to it.

Preparation and launch

It is important to prepare the fuel mixture correctly. It is prepared from unleaded gasoline (90, 92, 93) and original motor oil intended for 2-stroke power plants. Proportion 50/1 (1 liter of fuel, 100 ml of oil).

The procedure for putting the chainsaw into operation is as follows:

1. Assembly, fitting with headset, chain tensioning.
2. Prepare the mixture and refuel the chainsaw.
3. Pour chain oil into a container.
4. Starting petrol tools.
5. Check the condition of the idle speed, brake system and lubrication supply to the chain.

Break-in period

Run-in duration is 10 hours. Basic conditions for its implementation:

• gentle mode (50% power);
• checking the status of basic systems and mechanisms;
• adjusting the carburetor, lubrication supply, etc.

Working equipment

The set consists of an 18" guide bar, a standard H42 cutting chain with 3/8" pitch and a side tensioner. The universal design of the connecting unit makes it possible to install alternative bus-chain sets with a length of 38 to 70 cm.

The chain is lubricated and cooled automatically. A variable displacement pump takes oil from an internal reservoir and delivers it at a rate of 4 to 20 ml/min to the work area.

Operational safety is ensured by an emergency inertial brake, which instantly blocks the movement of the chain in the event of an unusual situation. If there is a driven sprocket in the tire, its bearing is lubricated separately, every 7-8 hours of operation.

Malfunction of the chain lubrication system in the chainsaw

What types of breakdowns occur in the chain lubrication system:

• No or low oil supply
• Oil leakage

In the first case, we first inspect the channels through which oil is supplied to the tire and clean them. Their clogging is a fairly common occurrence.

If there is significant oil leakage (small oil leakage is normal for all gasoline saws), you should check the tightness of the tubes and fittings of the oil pump. Tubes may fall off and even crack. Violation of the tightness of the tubes is eliminated by replacing them or sealing them with sealing material.

As for oil pumps, they may have different designs for different models of chainsaws, and the drive is also carried out differently (as a rule, the drive is carried out by a drive sprocket or a special gear on the crankshaft). If there is a problem with the oil pump, then most often you will not have to completely replace this entire unit; it will be enough to replace its moving part (plunger), which most often fails due to the ingress of large amounts of dirt and sawdust.

The most serious damage is a crack in the oil pump housing. In this case, you will have to completely replace it.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Husqvarna chainsaw model 372 XP combines in its characteristics the advantages of a classic layout with modern design and engineering solutions.

The light weight of the tool compared to other professional models is complemented by a comfortable grip, good balancing and a minimal level of vibration. Reducing the degree of fatigue provides the operator with a significant reserve for saving working time in the range of 12-15%.

The advantages of the tool:

• increasing the reliability of component parts and assemblies through the use of special processing of materials, application of wear-resistant protective and decorative coatings;
• small amount of ongoing maintenance work;
• interchangeability of standardized parts, kits and consumables from other manufacturers;
• high level of safety when performing felling and sawing work of increased complexity.

No significant shortcomings were found during the entire period of use of this model. The main complaints relate to the lack of a primer pump and carburetor heating system, visual monitoring of fuel and chain oil levels.

Owner reviews

In Canada I had to work with different brands of professional-level chainsaws. For me personally, all Husqvarna models are in good standing. Powerful engines, moderate weight, trouble-free starting and stable engine operation regardless of weather and temperature changes. I should note that saws of the same brand and model abroad differ from our supplies in terms of better quality of materials and perfection of factory assembly. Viktor Tikhonovich

I bought the decommissioned Husqvarna model 372 XP for next to nothing, but I had to invest heavily in restoration. The costs are gradually but surely recouping; such a device can be used both in winter and summer. I run a small business felling old trees, and in the absence of a main job, I agree to sawing fuel wood. To trim branches, I use a lighter and more convenient Chinese-made lopper, but the main work is done with a professional tool. Valentine

Competitors

Makita EA7300P-60

Oleo-Mac GS 720-20

Among professional tools, you can find several models that can compete with Husqvarna and have similar engine power and the size of the saw set. These are Makita EA7300P-60 and Oleo-Mac GS 720-20. At the same time, they are equipped with slightly more powerful engines and significantly longer tires in the stock configuration. True, their prices are higher. And if the “Japanese” is only three to four thousand more expensive, then the Italian saw is as much as 20. Its competitiveness is reduced by the capabilities of the purchasing audience.

It is noteworthy that Shtil does not have chainsaws with similar characteristics - they are either more powerful or significantly weaker.

Do-it-yourself fuel system repair

If you don’t know why the Husqvarna chainsaw won’t start, then you should look for the reason in the fuel system of the unit. Often, if the saw does not start when hot, the reason for this may be a clogged breather - the hole inside the fuel tank cap. You can clean this small hole with an awl or needle.

If the saw does not develop speed, the reason most likely lies in a clogged fuel filter. In this case, you can repair the Husqvarna chainsaw by removing and checking the fuel hose. If a weak stream of oil passes through it, you will have to remove the fuel filter by pulling it through the hole into which fuel is poured. If the filter has become unusable, it must be replaced with a new element.

We have listed the most common breakdowns of Swedish chainsaw models and options for repairing them. Below we will review Husqvarna chainsaws, consider the design features and characteristics of the most popular models.
