the engineering skills behind the development of some of
the world's leading products in areas such as hunting
weapons, bicycles, motorcycles, domestic appliances,
sewing machines and outdoor products.
Husqvarna is a global leader in outdoor power products
for forestry, park maintenance and lawn and garden care,
as well as cutting equipment and diamond tools for the
construction and stone industries.

service intervals.
OilGuard (K760 OilGuard)
An optical detection system to detect if there is oil in the
fuel or if the oil type is wrong.
SmartCarb™
Built-in automatic filter compensation maintains high
power and reduces fuel consumption.
Dura Starter™
Dust sealed starter unit, where the return spring and the
pulley bearing are sealed which makes the starter
virtually maintenance free and even more reliable.
X-Torq®
The X-Torq® engine provides a more accessible torque
for a wider range of speeds which results in maximum
cutting capacity. X-Torq® reduces the fuel consumption
by up to 20% and the emissions by up to 60%.
EasyStart
The engine and starter are designed to ensure quick and
easy starting of the machine. Reduces the pull resistance
in the starter cord by up to 40%. (Reduces the
compression during starting.)
Air purge
When you push the air purge diaphragm, fuel is pumped
through to the carburettor. Fewer pulls are required for
starting, meaning the machine becomes easier to start.
Water cooling and dust management
Less slurry and low water consumption.
Excellent dust control with a wet cutting kit. A progresive
water valve for exact adjustment of the water volume to
efficiently bind the dust and reduce slurry.
Efficient vibration damping system

Reversible cutting head
The machine is fitted with a reversible cutting head
allowing cutting close to a wall or at ground level,
restricted only by the thickness of the blade guard.
