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.
The whole point is in the name
The model name is very similar to one of the original saws. All the differences lie in one letter - XP (China), SP (original). Real Husqvarna 365 chainsaws are available in only two modifications: 365 SP, 365 H. In extreme cases, the name can only consist of numbers, without letters.
When making purchases through online stores, you need to be very vigilant. Some unscrupulous sellers post technical specifications and photographs of the original chainsaw, but in reality they are only selling a Chinese counterfeit. To avoid encountering such sellers, we recommend making purchases only in trusted online stores.

Blue starter cover and what is it for?
When working with a chainsaw in winter, problems often arise with the starter freezing during even short breaks in operation. This is primarily due to snow getting into the starter area and moisture forming there.
The blue pad is part of the so-called winter kit, designed to protect against snow and limit the intake of cold air.
The Husqvarna company is the northernmost manufacturer of chainsaws in the world and who better than them knows how to protect the tool and prepare it for work in the most difficult conditions.
In my opinion, the development is very useful, because... Indeed, in winter, sometimes you have to cut through knee-deep snow and the trim really limits the amount of snow getting into the engine.
Such a protective kit is required with all professional models of Husqvarna saws.

Typical faults and repairs of Husqvarna chainsaws
Owners of Husqvarna chainsaws rarely experience breakdowns of their tools. However, if this does happen, then you can try to fix the problem yourself. Let's talk in more detail about how to identify a breakdown and repair a Husqvarna chainsaw without the help of a specialist.
How to adjust the carburetor on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
In case the Husqvarna chainsaw does not start, or it does not develop speed, the reason for this lies in the violation of the factory carburetor settings. To do this, the tool has 3 screws, marked with the letters “H”, “L” and “T”.
To set up a Husqvarna chainsaw, you need to proceed in this order:
- Adjusting the saw's carburetor begins with warming up its engine for 5 minutes. After this, start turning the “L” screw until you hear the maximum speed generated by its motor. Then immediately turn the screw a quarter turn in the opposite direction;
- Then, with one hand, press and hold the throttle trigger for 10 seconds. At the same time, with your second hand, turn the screw “H” a quarter turn to create maximum load on the motor;
- After this, release the gas trigger and start turning the “T” screw in the direction of the clock hand. As soon as the chain begins to rotate along the bar, turn the screw in the opposite direction until the chain stops.
The design of the Husqvarna chainsaw carburetor is quite simple, so even a beginner can handle its adjustment.
How to remove the clutch on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
If the chainsaw does not start when hot or stalls when you press the gas, then the cause of this typical problem lies in clutch wear. Most often, it turns out to be impossible to restore it, so repairs will require completely replacing the damaged mechanism. Replacing the clutch looks like this:
- Remove the air filter and unscrew the spark plug. If necessary, wipe the area around the chainsaw spark plug;
- At the next stage, you will need to remove the sprocket from the Husqvarna chainsaw - this will make it possible to carefully inspect the mechanism for blockages;
- The clutch coil is unscrewed in the clockwise direction. Under it there is a pressure washer, which also needs to be removed;
- At the end, the sprocket is replaced and a new clutch is installed. Reassembling the Husqvarna chainsaw is performed in the reverse order.
The first few starts of the chainsaw engine will be accompanied by ringing sounds - this is due to the fact that the drive sprocket will rotate until it finally falls into place.
Oil does not flow to the Husqvarna chainsaw chain - reasons and solution
If you don't know why the chain is not connecting, then the first thing you need to do is check the oil pump. In some cases, when the chain does not spin, the reason may lie in a leak in the oil hoses. In any of these cases, you need to act in this order:
- First, remove the protective cover and starter spring, after which the chainsaw air filter is dismantled.
- Below it on the right side there is an oil pump, which needs to be inspected for cracks and other damage. If necessary, replace the pump;
- If you notice that the oil hoses have moved away from their base, then they will also need to be replaced with new parts.
After installing new spare parts, you can continue working with the tool. In the future, use only high-quality oil from trusted manufacturers. The correctly selected sharpening angle of the Husqvarna chainsaw chain is also of great importance, since the speed of movement and the intensity of lubrication of the saw element depend on it.
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.
Running in the saw
A mandatory procedure before using the saw is running-in. This is done to ensure that the engine parts run in. The running-in process itself consists of the following points:
- Preparing the mixture. To do this, mix oil and gasoline in the proportions specified in the instructions. It is advisable to use high-quality materials, as inexpensive analogues will quickly lead to engine failure.
- Pour oil into the chain lubrication reservoir. Checking the presence is simple - place the saw over a white piece of paper and briefly turn on the saw. If oil stains appear on the sheet, then the lubrication system is working.
- Start the saw and operate it without load.
Important! Do not use the saw at idle speed for more than 15 minutes. Continuous work with the saw is carried out for no more than 3 hours.
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.
